A Better Spur Should Start From Each Objective
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.08211v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning (MORL) often suffers from sparse rewards, reward conflicts, and late-stage reward tug-of-war, causing traditional linear scalarization to experience severe metric oscillations. To address optimization conflicts among multiple objectives in real-world deployment scenarios, we propose Multi-Marginal Preference Optimization (MMPO), a fine-grained framework that intervenes at the data, gradient, and constraint levels rather than relying on coarse-grained global scalarization. Specifically, MMPO perfor
