contents Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback and its variants excel in aligning with human intentions to generate helpful, harmless, and honest responses. However, most of them rely on costly human-annotated pairwise comparisons for supervised alignment, which is not suitable for list-level scenarios, such as community question answering. Additionally, human preferences are influenced by multiple intrinsic factors in responses, leading to decision-making inconsistencies. Therefore, we propose \textbf{Se}lf-supervised \textbf{A}ttribute-aware \textbf{d}ynamic \textbf{p}reference \textbf{ra}nking, called \shortname. \ It quantifies preference differences between responses based on Attribute-Perceptual Distance Factors (APDF) and dynamically determines the list-wise alignment order. Furthermore, it achieves fine-grained preference difference learning and enables precise alignment with the optimal one. We specifically constructed a challenging code preference dataset named StaCoCoQA, and introduced more cost-effective and scalable preference evaluation metrics: PrefHit and PrefRecall. Extensive experimental results show that SeAdpra exhibits superior performance and generalizability on both StaCoCoQA and preference datasets from eight popular domains.
