Direct Preference Optimization (DPO)

An alignment algorithm that optimizes policy networks directly using pairwise preference data without reward model training.

DPO simplifies model alignment by bypassing the need for a separate reward model or reinforcement learning loop. It uses a closed-form loss function to optimize policy weights directly against human preferences.
