Title: Learning Heterogeneous Preferences

Abstract:
arXiv:2609.17847v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning from human feedback has become a central paradigm for training modern AI systems, where models of human utility are used as reward models in policy learning. Existing methods typically assume a \emph{universal utility} function shared across a population and treat disagreement between annotators as stochastic variation. While suitable for objective tasks, this assumption breaks down in subjective domains where preferences vary systematical
