Stackelberg Learning from Human Feedback: Preference Optimization as a Sequential Game

ICLR 2026poster

We introduce Stackelberg Learning from Human Feedback (SLHF), a new framework for preference optimization. SLHF frames the alignment problem as a sequential-move game between two policies: a Leader, which commits to an action, and a Follower, which responds conditionally on the Leader's action. This…

Bandits with Preference Feedback: A Stackelberg Game Perspective

NeurIPS 2024poster

Bandits with preference feedback present a powerful tool for optimizing unknown target functions when only pairwise comparisons are allowed instead of direct value queries. This model allows for incorporating human feedback into online inference and optimization and has been employed in systems for…

Contextual Bilevel Reinforcement Learning for Incentive Alignment

NeurIPS 2024poster

The optimal policy in various real-world strategic decision-making problems depends both on the environmental configuration and exogenous events. For these settings, we introduce Contextual Bilevel Reinforcement Learning (CB-RL), a stochastic bilevel decision-making model, where the lower level cons…

Melting Pot Contest: Charting the Future of Generalized Cooperative Intelligence

NeurIPS 2024poster

Multi-agent AI research promises a path to develop human-like and human-compatible intelligent technologies that complement the solipsistic view of other approaches, which mostly do not consider interactions between agents. Aiming to make progress in this direction, the Melting Pot contest 2023 focu…
