Programming-Community Question Answering (PCQA) aims to tackle issues through generating functional code and guiding descriptions. It involves multiple candidates, with different users having varying preferences for them. Additionally, one may contain outdated APIs. These undoubtedly present a challenge for responsing that meet user preferences. Recently, Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback demonstrates its ability to precisely control the behavior of large language models (LLMs) to yield human-like responses. However, applying it to LLMs in domain-specific PCQA remains unexplored. In this work, we propose Multi-perspective Preference Alignment for Programming-Community Question Answering to generate user-centric responses, called MupPCQA. It includes three stages: Preference Standardization to control content quality, Preference Integration to consider diverse user tendencies, Preference Timeliness Mitigation to alleviate outdated answers. Extensive experiments on a high-quality, real-world PCQA dataset validate its accuracy and preference. Compared to its base model, MupPCQA shows an improvement of nearly 11% in BLEU, with increases of 20% and 17.5% in BERTScore and CodeBERTScore.

The proliferation of large language models (LLMs) in generating content raises concerns about text copyright. Watermarking methods, particularly logit-based approaches, embed imperceptible identifiers into text to address these challenges. However, the widespread usage of watermarking across diverse LLMs has led to an inevitable issue known as watermark collision during common tasks, such as paraphrasing or translation.In this paper, we introduce watermark collision as a novel and general philosophy for watermark attacks, aimed at enhancing attack performance on top of any other attacking methods. We also provide a comprehensive demonstration that watermark collision poses a threat to all logit-based watermark algorithms, impacting not only specific attack scenarios but also downstream applications.
