Mechanism

Reweights off-policy preference pairs (x,yw,yl)(x, y_w, y_l) by their sequence probability under the current policy w(x,y)=exp⁡(1∣y∣∑tlog⁡πθ(yt∣x,y<t))w(x,y) = \exp\left(\frac{1}{|y|}\sum_t \log \pi_\theta(y_t\mid x, y_{<t})\right), making off-policy public preference datasets behave like on-policy samples at zero rollout cost.
