Direct Preference Optimization: Your Language Model is Secretly a Reward Model
Direct Preference Optimization derives a preference-learning objective that avoids training a separate reward model in the studied setup.
Paper & contextChristopher D. Manning
Connecting linguistic structure with learned language representations.
Manning studies language understanding and learned representations of linguistic structure. The selected work connects language-model training and evaluation with questions about syntax, generalization, and how models use language in broader systems.
