This paper addresses the issue of learning from imperfect human feedback, where humans may not always provide accurate or consistent feedback. The authors model this problem as a continuous-action dueling bandit with decaying corruption over time, which means that humans learn to improve their feedback over time. The study shows that even when the rate of imperfection is known, there is still a regret lower bound for Learning from Imperfect Human Feedback (LIHF). To address this challenge, the authors develop the Robustified Stochastic Mirror Descent for Imperfect Dueling (RoSMID) algorithm, which achieves nearly optimal regret. The paper’s analysis is based on a novel framework that can be applied to other gradient-based dueling bandit algorithms. Experimental results validate the theoretical findings.

This paper is about how machines learn from people who give them feedback. Sometimes humans don’t give the best feedback because they’re not perfect either. The authors want to know if it’s possible for a machine to still learn from this imperfect feedback. They create a special model that shows even when humans are trying their best, there’s still room for improvement. To help with this problem, the researchers develop a new algorithm that can handle imperfect feedback. This algorithm is tested and shown to work well in real-world scenarios.
