Researchers have developed PREFINE, a novel method for fine-tuning reinforcement learning policies to incorporate safety constraints without full retraining. This approach adapts Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), commonly used for language models, to continuous control environments. PREFINE leverages trajectory-level preferences to balance reward retention with safety alignment, demonstrating a significant reduction in constraint violations and failures while maintaining original reward performance.
