• Title: Multi-objective Reinforcement learning from AI Feedback
• Authors: Marcus Williams,
• Abstract summary: This paper presents a novel approach to improve the alignment and performance of language models trained using reinforcement learning from AI feedback (RLAIF) In contrast to standard approaches that train a single preference model to represent all human preferences, MORLAIF decomposes this task into simpler principles, such as toxicity, factuality, and sycophancy. Our experiments indicate that MORLAIF outperforms the standard RLAIF baselines and that MORLAIF can be used to align larger language models using smaller ones.

• Abstract: This paper presents Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (MORLAIF), a novel approach to improving the alignment and performance of language models trained using reinforcement learning from AI feedback (RLAIF). In contrast to standard approaches that train a single preference model to represent all human preferences, MORLAIF decomposes this task into multiple simpler principles, such as toxicity, factuality, and sycophancy. Separate preference models are trained for each principle using feedback from GPT-3.5-Turbo. These preference model scores are then combined using different scalarization functions to provide a reward signal for Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) training of the target language model. Our experiments indicate that MORLAIF outperforms the standard RLAIF baselines and that MORLAIF can be used to align larger language models using smaller ones. Surprisingly, the choice of scalarization function does not appear to significantly impact the results.

  Selective Prediction methods determine when to adopt a classifier's output versus defer to a human. One previous method involves learning a deferral model based on engineered features. We introduce a novel joint-training approach that simultaneously optimize learned representations used by the classifier module and a learned deferral policy.

  Pre-trained large-scale language models (LLMs) excel at producing coherent articles, yet their outputs may be untruthful, toxic, or fail to align with user expectations. Current approaches focus on using reinforcement learning with human feedback to improve model alignment. We propose a method to enhance LLM alignment through fine-grained token-level supervision.
