One Model for All: Multi-Objective Controllable Language Models
Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human preferences is critical for enhancing LLMs' safety, helpfulness, humor, faithfulness, etc. Current reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) mainly focuses on a fixed reward learned from average human ratings, which may weaken the adaptability and controllability of varying preferences. However, creating personalized LLMs requires aligning LLMs with individual human preferences, which is non-trivial due to the scarce data per user and the diversity of user preferences in multi-objective trade-offs, varying from emphasizing empathy in certain contexts to demanding efficiency and precision in others. Can we train one LLM to produce personalized outputs across different user preferences on the Pareto front? In this paper, we introduce Multi-Objective Control (MOC), which trains a single LLM to directly generate responses in the preference-defined regions of the Pareto front. Our approach introduces multi-objective optimization (MOO) principles into RLHF to train an LLM as a preference-conditioned policy network. We improve the computational efficiency of MOC by applying MOO at the policy level, enabling us to fine-tune a 7B-parameter model on a single A6000 GPU. Extensive experiments demonstrate the advantages of MOC over baselines in three aspects: (i) controllability of LLM outputs w.r.t. user preferences on the trade-off among multiple rewards; (ii) quality and diversity of LLM outputs, measured by the hyper-volume of multiple solutions achieved; and (iii) generalization to unseen preferences. These results highlight MOC's potential for real-world applications requiring scalable and customizable LLMs.
