GAPO — Geometric Anchor Preference Optimization

Replaces DPO's frozen reference with a dynamic adversarial anchor — a worst-case local perturbation of the current policy — and reweights each preference pair by its geometric brittleness. Robust to noisy labels without an explicit noise model.

AAAI 2024 ★ First author

APP — Make Prompts Adaptable

Bayesian, data-dependent priors that let vision-language prompts adapt per input instead of staying fixed — better calibration under distribution shift.
