RSPO: Regularized Self-Play Alignment of Large Language Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2503.00030v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-play-based policy optimization has emerged as an effective approach for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs), formulating preference optimization as a two-player game. However, the regularization with respect to the reference policy, which is crucial for mitigating over-optimization, has been insufficiently investigated in self-play alignment. To study the impact of different regularization strategies, we propose Regularized Self-Play Policy Optimization (RSPO), a novel framework that unifies prior methods and enables simple pl
