This research introduces a novel framework for integrating crowd-sourced human feedback into AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, significantly improving text-to-code generation capabilities.

• Combines reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) with distributed crowd-sourcing to optimize code generation
• Implements a Bayesian optimization framework that efficiently distributes feedback collection across multiple contributors
• Demonstrates improved AI alignment in coding applications through systematic human input
• Creates more accurate and contextually appropriate code suggestions for software developers

This advancement matters for Engineering teams by enhancing AI programming assistants that developers increasingly rely on, potentially reducing development time and improving code quality through better human-AI collaboration.
