 The [cDPO](https://ericmitchell.ai/cdpo.pdf) is a tweak on the DPO loss where we assume that the preference labels are noisy with some probability that can be passed to the `DPOTrainer` via `label_smoothing` argument (between 0 and 0.5) and then a conservative DPO loss is used. Use the `loss_type="cdpo"` argument to the trainer to use it.
 
+The [Robust DPO](https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.00409) authors propose an unbiased estimate of the DPO loss that is robust to preference noise in the data. Like in cDPO, assume that the preference labels are noisy with some probability that can be passed to the `DPOTrainer` via `label_smoothing` argument (between 0 and 0.5). Use `loss_type="robust"` to the trainer to use it.

 The [KTO](https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.01306) authors directly maximize the utility of LLM generations instead of the log-likelihood of preferences. To use preference data with KTO, we recommend breaking up the n preferences into 2n examples and using [`KTOTrainer`](kto_trainer) (i.e., treating the data like an unpaired feedback dataset). Although it is possible to pass in `loss_type="kto_pair"` into DPOTrainer, this is a highly simplified version of KTO that we *do not recommend* in most cases. Please use [`KTOTrainer`](kto_trainer) when possible.
 
 The [BCO](https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.04656) authors train a binary classifier whose logit serves as a reward so that the classifier maps {prompt, chosen completion} pairs to 1 and {prompt, rejected completion} pairs to 0. The `DPOTrainer` can be switched to this loss via the `loss_type="bco_pair"` argument.
