Researchers have developed PreferenceEKF, a novel method for active learning in reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF). This approach addresses the sample inefficiency of RLHF by framing active preference learning as a sequential Bayesian filtering problem. Instead of full parameter space inference, PreferenceEKF uses an extended Kalman filter within a low-dimensional subspace to efficiently update reward model posteriors as new preferences are gathered. Experiments on D4RL and V-D4RL benchmarks show improved sample efficiency, runtime, scalability, and calibration compared to existing Bayesian deep learning methods, leading to competitive offline reinforcement learning policy performance.
