A new research paper proposes that standard Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) methods may misinterpret alignment in diverse societies. The study argues that reducing heterogeneous human judgments to a single scalar reward target, termed Preference-Validity Compression, can discard multiple valid responses. Using Malaysia as a case study, the research found that a significant majority of prompts had more than one acceptable answer, suggesting that current aggregation methods fail to capture plural alignment.
