New PG-OT framework improves text-to-image alignment, reduces reward hacking

Researchers have developed a new framework called Pareto Frontier-Guided Optimal Transport (PG-OT) to improve alignment in text-to-image generation models. This method addresses challenges in balancing diverse reward models and mitigating reward hacking, where model performance metrics improve while perceived quality declines. PG-OT constructs a prompt-specific Pareto frontier and uses optimal transport to map dominated samples toward it, offering both online and offline optimization strategies. New metrics, Joint Domination Rate (JDR) and Joint Collapse Rate (JCR), were introduced to quantify multi-reward synergy and reward hacking, with experiments showing an 11% gain in JDR and an 80% win rate in human evaluations.
