The Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) method has been effective in aligning large language models with human preferences and improving text-to-image diffusion models. However, DPO-based methods are prone to overfitting and reward hacking when trained for prolonged periods. To address this issue, the authors propose a self-entropy regularization mechanism that enhances DPO training by encouraging exploration and robustness. This technique mitigates reward hacking, leading to improved image quality and stability across the latent space. The results demonstrate that integrating human feedback with self-entropy regularization can significantly boost image diversity and specificity, achieving state-of-the-art performance on key image generation metrics.

DPO is a way to make large language models and text-to-image models better by using what people like. Right now, this method has some problems when it’s used for a long time, like making the model too good at doing something one way but not being able to do other things well. To fix this, scientists came up with an idea to add a special “self-entropy” rule to DPO that helps it explore and learn more broadly. This rule makes the model less likely to get stuck in one spot and more likely to find new and interesting ways to create images. When people tried this new method, they found that it made the images better and more diverse than before.
