• Abstract: To use reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) in practical applications, it is crucial to learn reward models from diverse sources of human feedback and to consider human factors involved in providing feedback of different types. However, the systematic study of learning from diverse types of feedback is held back by limited standardized tooling available to researchers. To bridge this gap, we propose RLHF-Blender, a configurable, interactive interface for learning from human feedback. RLHF-Blender provides a modular experimentation framework and implementation that enables researchers to systematically investigate the properties and qualities of human feedback for reward learning. The system facilitates the exploration of various feedback types, including demonstrations, rankings, comparisons, and natural language instructions, as well as studies considering the impact of human factors on their effectiveness. We discuss a set of concrete research opportunities enabled by RLHF-Blender. More information is available at https://rlhfblender.info/.

  We bridge the gap between machine learning and human-computer interaction efforts by developing a shared understanding of human feedback in interactive learning scenarios. We introduce a taxonomy of feedback types for reward-based learning from human feedback based on nine key dimensions. We identify seven quality metrics of human feedback influencing both the human ability to express feedback and the agent's ability to learn from the feedback.

  Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is a crucial technique for aligning language models with human preferences. We propose Self-Evolved Reward Learning (SER), a novel approach where the RM generates additional training data to iteratively improve itself. Our results demonstrate that even with limited human-annotated data, learning from self-feedback can robustly enhance RM performance.

  Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback is a powerful paradigm for aligning foundation models to human values and preferences. Current RLHF techniques cannot account for the naturally occurring differences in individual human preferences across a diverse population. We develop a class of multimodal RLHF methods to address the need for pluralistic alignment.

  Training large language models (LLMs) to serve as effective assistants for humans requires careful consideration. A promising approach is reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), which leverages human feedback to update the model in accordance with human preferences. In this paper, we analyze RLHF through the lens of reinforcement learning principles to develop an understanding of its fundamentals.

  Reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) is an emerging paradigm to align models with human preferences. We show how traditional RLHF approaches can fail since learning a single reward function cannot capture and balance the preferences of multiple individuals. We incorporate meta-learning to learn multiple preferences and adopt different social welfare functions to aggregate the preferences across multiple parties.
