 **Direct Preference Optimization (DPO)**, introduced by Rafailov et al. (2023), is an alignment method that fine-tunes language models directly on human preference data using a simple classification loss. DPO eliminates the need for an explicit reward model and reinforcement learning, instead deriving a closed-form mapping from the Bradley-Terry preference model to the optimal policy. **Direct Preference Optimization (DPO)**, introduced by Rafailov et al.
