Two Minds Better Than One: Collaborative Reward Modeling for LLM Alignment

arXiv:2505.10597v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reward models (RMs) are central to aligning large language models (LLMs) with human values, yet noisy preference feedback can induce reward misgeneralization through spurious correlations and overfitting. We characterize the training dynamics of preference pairs and uncover a distinctive optimization signature of noise: persistently high losses, sharp temporal fluctuations, and irregular gradient updates. Our analyses further show that excluding such pairs improves downstream alignment. In practice, however, reliable preferences are not
