• Abstract: Numerous recent techniques for text style transfer characterize their approaches as variants of reinforcement learning and preference optimization. In this work, we consider the relationship between these approaches and a class of optimization approaches developed primarily for (non-neural) statistical machine translation, formerly known as `tuning'. Inspired by these techniques from the past, we improve upon established preference optimization approaches, incorporating multiple iterations of exploration and optimization, and choosing contrastive examples by following a `hope' vs `fear' sampling strategy. Cognizant of the difference between machine translation and style transfer, however, we further tailor our framework with a new pseudo-parallel generation method and a dynamic weighted reward aggregation method to tackle the lack of parallel data and the need for a multi-objective reward. We evaluate our model on two commonly used text style transfer datasets. Through automatic and human evaluation results we show the effectiveness and the superiority of our model compared to state-of-the-art baselines.

  We introduce a novel approach that extends post-training to include multi-sample comparisons. These approaches fail to capture critical characteristics such as generative diversity and bias. We demonstrate that multi-sample comparison is more effective in optimizing collective characteristics than single-sample comparison.

  We introduce MotionRL, the first approach to utilize Multi-Reward Reinforcement Learning (RL) for optimizing text-to-motion generation tasks. Our novel approach uses reinforcement learning to fine-tune the motion generator based on human preferences prior knowledge of the human perception model. In addition, MotionRL introduces a novel multi-objective optimization strategy to approximate optimality between text adherence, motion quality, and human preferences.
