Overton Pluralistic Reinforcement Learning for Large Language Models

2026-02-24 · Yu Fu, Seongho Son, Ilija Bogunovic arxiv

Existing alignment paradigms remain limited in capturing the pluralistic nature of human values. Overton Pluralism addresses this gap by generating responses with diverse perspectives from a single query. This paper introduces OP-GRPO (Overton Pluralistic Group Relative Policy Optimization), a reinforcement learning framework for implicit Overton Pluralism that enables a single large language model to produce pluralistic responses without explicit prompting or modular orchestration. Our workflow consists of two main steps. First, similarity estimator training fine-tunes a Sentence Transformer for Overton Pluralism tasks to provide more accurate coverage evaluation of generated responses. Second, OP-GRPO training incorporates this similarity estimator into a dual-reward system designed to ensure both broad coverage of genuine human perspectives and the uniqueness of each perspective, thereby promoting diversity. Empirical results demonstrate a "small models, big perspective coverage" effect. The trained Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct model surpasses a 20B GPT-OSS baseline with a 37.4 percent relative accuracy gain on a Natural Language Inference benchmark, and also outperforms a modular architecture baseline with a 19.1 percent relative improvement. Additional evaluations using GPT-4.1 as a large language model judge further confirm the robustness of the approach.

Benchmarking Overton Pluralism in LLMs

2025-12-01 · Elinor Poole-Dayan, Jiayi Wu, Taylor Sorensen, Jiaxin Pei 외 arxiv

We introduce OVERTONBENCH, a novel framework for measuring Overton pluralism in LLMs--the extent to which diverse viewpoints are represented in model outputs. We (i) formalize Overton pluralism as a set coverage metric (…

A Roadmap to Pluralistic Alignment

2024-02-07 · Taylor Sorensen, Jared Moore, Jillian Fisher, Mitchell Gordon 외

With increased power and prevalence of AI systems, it is ever more critical that AI systems are designed to serve all, i.e., people with diverse values and perspectives. However, aligning models to serve pluralistic huma…

Modular Pluralism: Pluralistic Alignment via Multi-LLM Collaboration

2024-06-22 · Shangbin Feng, Taylor Sorensen, YuHan Liu, Jillian Fisher 외

While existing alignment paradigms have been integral in developing large language models (LLMs), LLMs often learn an averaged human preference and struggle to model diverse preferences across cultures, demographics, and…

From Sycophantic Consensus to Pluralistic Repair: Why AI Alignment Must Surface Disagreement

2026-05-14 · Varad Vishwarupe, Nigel Shadbolt, Marina Jirotka arxiv

Pluralistic alignment is typically operationalised as preference aggregation: producing responses that span (Overton), steer toward (Steerable), or proportionally represent (Distributional) diverse human values. We argue…
