A new research paper explores the limitations of weak-to-strong (W2S) generalization in AI, particularly when tested under distribution shifts. The study reveals that models trained on weak preference labels can perform well within their training distribution but fail to generalize to new preference datasets. To address this, the researchers propose "Representation Anchoring" (Anchor), a regularization technique designed to prevent the model's representations from drifting too far from the original pretrained model, thereby improving out-of-distribution transfer.
