OTROPE: Optimal Transport-based Robust Off-policy Evaluation for Large Language Models

Reliable evaluation of large language models (LLMs) is essential for their development and deployment, yet is often costly, risky, and difficult to perform safely online. We study off-policy evaluation for LLMs, where limited human-labeled data from a behavior model are used to evaluate a newer target LLM. This setting...

UOPD: Uncertainty-Aware Intervention for On-Policy Distillation of Multi-Turn Agents

On-policy distillation (OPD) trains a student on its own rollouts using dense supervision from a teacher. In multi-turn environments, a mistake at a critical decision step can redirect the subsequent rollout toward poor outcomes. We use low teacher confidence on student actions to select high-uncertainty steps for corr...

Towards Bridging the Gap Between Offline and Iterative Alignment via Preference Distillation

This work proposes Distilled Preference Probability Policy Optimization (DP3O), an effective and efficient offline alignment algorithm that outperforms state-of-the-art offline methods, achieves performance comparable to iterative DPO, and reduces training time, demonstrating both its effectiveness and efficiency.
