Energy-Based Preference Model Offers Better Offline Alignment than the Bradley-Terry Preference Model Yuzhong Hong Hanshan Zhang Junwei Bao Hongfei Jiang Yang Song Abstract Since the debut of DPO, it has been shown that aligning a target LLM with human preferences via the KL-constrained RLHF loss is mathematically equivalent to a special kind of reward modeling task. Concretely, the task requires: 1) using the target LLM to parameterize the reward model, and 2) tuning the reward model so that it has a 1:1 linear relationship with the true reward. However, we identify a significant issue: the D
