In the DPO setting, there is only a weak correlation between the hyperparameters that minimize validation loss and the optimal hyperparameters on downstream benchmarks.

UnverifiedUsing validation loss for early stopping or model selection may point in the wrong direction in the DPO setting.75% similarUnverifiedThe fundamental assumption of low-dimensional parameter mapping is that effective parameter updates tend to concentrate in a subspace far smaller than the full parameter space.71% similarVerifiedThe double descent phenomenon indicates that when the number of model parameters far exceeds the amount of data, the test error may actually decrease again.68% similarUnverifiedSubsequent research has pointed out that DPO is prone to overfitting spurious correlations in preference data on out-of-distribution samples, and that the degree of over-optimization is harder to monitor due to the lack of an explicit reward model.68% similarUnverifiedPPO and DPO have different objective functions, so validation loss cannot be compared across them; perplexity loses meaning after PPO.68% similar
