Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) has recently surged in popularity, particularly for aligning large language models and other AI systems with human intentions. At its core, RLHF can be viewed as a specialized instance of Preference-based Reinforcement Learning (PbRL), where the preferences specifically originate from human judgments rather than arbitrary evaluators. Despite this connection, most existing approaches in both RLHF and PbRL primarily focus on optimizing a mean reward objective, neglecting scenarios that necessitate risk-awareness, such as AI safety, healthcare, and autonomous driving. These scenarios often operate under a one-episode-reward setting, which makes conventional risk-sensitive objectives inapplicable.

However, none of these models were examined in memory tasks.

Our experimental results demonstrate that this approach significantly improves the training efficiency as compared to maximum likelihood training.

In this section, we provide proof for the disentanglement identifiability of the inferred exogenous variable. Our proof consists of three main components. Then we have ( f, T, λ) ( f, T, λ) . The conditional V AE, in this case, inherits all the properties of maximum likelihood estimation. The following proof is based on the reduction to absurdity.
