With increased power and prevalence of AI systems, it is ever more critical that AI systems are designed to serve all, i.e., people with diverse values and perspectives. However, aligning models to serve pluralistic human values remains an open research question. In this piece, we propose a roadmap to pluralistic alignment, specifically using large language models as a test bed. We identify and formalize three possible ways to define and operationalize pluralism in AI systems: 1) Overton pluralistic models that present a spectrum of reasonable responses;2) Steerably pluralistic models that can steer to reflect certain perspectives;and 3) Distributionally pluralistic models that are well-calibrated to a given population in distribution. We also formalize and discuss three possible classes of pluralistic benchmarks: 1) Multi-objective benchmarks, 2) Tradeoff steerable benchmarks that incentivize models to steer to arbitrary trade-offs, and 3) Jury-pluralistic benchmarks that explicitly model diverse human ratings. We use this framework to argue that current alignment techniques may be fundamentally limited for pluralistic AI;indeed, we highlight empirical evidence, both from our own experiments and from other work, that standard alignment procedures might reduce distributional pluralism in models, motivating the need for further research on pluralistic alignment.

In this research, Koopman operator theory is employed to achieve faster training time and improved performance of a reinforcement learning (RL) based linear quadratic controller (LQ). The proposed methodology, called K-RLLQ, is implemented for the trajectory tracking problem of a quadrotor UAV. Using the evolution of analytically derived Koopman generalized eigenfunctions allows for the embedding of quadrotor nonlinear dynamics into a quasi-linear model. Specifically, the resulting Koopman based quadrotor dynamics has linear state matrix and state dependent control matrix. Additionally, the obtained formulation is fully actuated, hence, compared to traditional model based hierarchical control the advantages are twofold: i) the controller can be formulated using linear control strategies in Koopman formulation which will result in a nonlinear control law in the original state space; ii) the trajectory tracking task can be achieved through a single control loop. Using this formulation, an RL agent is trained to estimate the controller parameters of a linear quadratic control law. Notably, it is shown that, using a reward function and observation space based on Koopman generalized eigenfunctions over the state space, leads to a considerably faster training time and improved overall performances.
