摘要
Aligning Large Language Models (LLMs) to human preferences is pivotal for Machine Translation (MT), yet current approaches are often hindered by misleading reward signals. Our analysis reveals that prevailing Quality Estimation (QE) models exhibit a systematic blind spot towards partial errors—specifically partial hallucinations and omissions—often favoring superficially fluent but unfaithful translations. To address this, we propose M^2PO (Multi-Perspective Multi-Pair Preference Optimization), a data-centric framework for preference optimization in machine translation. First, to correct the bias towards fluency, M^2PO uses a multi-perspective alignment mechanism that decouples semantic fidelity from fluency, prioritizing faithfulness via a curriculum strategy. Second, with the bias corrected, partial errors fall between perfect and severely incorrect translations, making them inefficient to learn via standard best-versus-worst comparisons. We thus introduce a multi-pair objective that leverages the full candidate list to capture these fine-grained error signals. Experiments on WMT23, WMT24, and FLORES-200 show that M^2PO enables a 9B model to outperform leading open-source baselines and achieve parity with proprietary models like GPT-4o and Gemini-2.0-Flash, demonstrating significant potential for efficient, high-fidelity LLM-based translation.
