- Abstract: The field of artificial intelligence (AI) alignment aims to investigate
whether AI technologies align with human interests and values and function in a
safe and ethical manner. AI alignment is particularly relevant for large
language models (LLMs), which have the potential to exhibit unintended behavior
due to their ability to learn and adapt in ways that are difficult to predict.
In this paper, we discuss methodological challenges for the alignment problem
specifically in the context of LLMs trained to summarize texts. In particular,
we focus on methods for collecting reliable human feedback on summaries to
train a reward model which in turn improves the summarization model. We
conclude by suggesting specific improvements in the experimental design of
alignment studies for LLMs' summarization capabilities.

Training large language models (LLMs) to serve as effective assistants for humans requires careful consideration.

We show how off-policy reinforcement learning can enable improved performance under assumptions that are similar but potentially even more practical than those of interactive imitation learning.
Our proposed method uses reinforcement learning with user intervention signals themselves as rewards.
This relaxes the assumption that intervening experts in interactive imitation learning should be near-optimal and enables the algorithm to learn behaviors that improve over the potential suboptimal human expert.
