The rapid advancement of language models (LMs) necessitates robust alignment with diverse user values. However, current preference optimization approaches often fail to capture the plurality of user opinions, instead reinforcing majority viewpoints and marginalizing minority perspectives. We introdu…
The extent to which text-only language models (LMs) learn to represent the physical, non-linguistic world is an open question. Prior work has shown that pretrained LMs can be taught to ``understand'' visual inputs when the models' parameters are updated on image captioning tasks. We test a stronger…
Neural MMO 2.0 is a massively multi-agent and multi-task environment for reinforcement learning research. This version features a novel task-system that broadens the range of training settings and poses a new challenge in generalization: evaluation on and against tasks, maps, and opponents never see…
Reinforcement learning from human feedback (\textbf{RLHF}) utilizes human feedback to better align large language models with human preferences via online optimization against a learned reward model. Current RLHF paradigms rely on Proximal Policy Optimization (\textbf{PPO}), which quickly becomes a…
"Image generation and manipulation requires technical expertise to use, inhibiting adoption. Current methods rely heavily on training to a specific domain (e.g., only faces), manual work or algorithm tuning to latent vector discovery, and manual effort in mask selection to alter only a part of an im…
