📰 ArXiv cs.AI
Learn how to optimize language models with human preferences using Sequential Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) and understand its effects on earlier learned preferences
Action Steps
- Apply Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) to align language models with human preferences
- Use sequential DPO to optimize multiple behavioural objectives
- Analyze the relationship between objectives to understand the effect of later training on earlier learned preferences
- Evaluate the performance of sequential DPO across different preference settings
- Compare the results of uniform forgetting and non-uniform forgetting in sequential DPO
Who Needs to Know This
NLP researchers and engineers can benefit from this study to improve their language models' alignment with human preferences, and product managers can use this knowledge to inform their product development strategies
Key Insight
💡 The effect of later training on earlier learned preferences in sequential DPO depends on the relationship between objectives, not just uniform forgetting

Title: Beyond Uniform Forgetting: A Study of Sequential Direct Preference Optimization Across Preference Settings
Abstract:
arXiv:2606.19744v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Aligning language models with human preferences often requires optimising multiple behavioural objectives. A practical approach is to apply these objectives sequentially using preference optimisation methods such as Direct Preference Optimisation (DPO), but it remains unclear whether later training uniformly degrades preferences learned earlier or whether the effect depends on the relationship between objectives. We study sequential DPO across fo
