This paper proposes an active preference learning framework for large language models (LLMs) to align with individual human preferences across multiple objectives. Existing methods often overlook the complexity and diversity of these preferences, making full alignment challenging. The proposed approach uses binary feedback to estimate user preferences through Bayesian inference, reducing user feedback through an acquisition function that optimally selects queries. Additionally, a parameter is introduced to handle feedback noise and improve robustness. The framework is validated through theoretical analysis and experiments on language generation tasks, demonstrating its feedback efficiency and effectiveness in personalizing model responses.

Large language models have many uses, but they can be tricky to work with because people’s preferences are hard to figure out. Right now, there are ways to get these models to do what we want, but they’re not very good at understanding what people really like or dislike. The problem is that people’s preferences are complicated and different, and it’s hard to know exactly what they mean when they give feedback. This paper presents a new way to use feedback from people to teach language models what they prefer. It uses math to make the process more efficient and to handle mistakes that can happen when people give feedback. The new method is tested on some language tasks and shows that it’s good at getting the model to do what people want.
