Study Notes

Preference Fine-tuning

Preference fine-tuning is also known as fine-tuning.
Reinforcement Learning Human Feedback (RLHF) is the most common alignment algorithm used in preference fine-tuning.

RLHF Steps

Step 1: Training a Reward Model
- Objective: To score the outputs of a Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) model based on human preferences.
- Process:
  - The reward model calculates a loss function based on the difference between scores for winning and losing responses.
  - The model aims to minimize this loss function.
  - The scalar score represents the model's prediction of alignment between the completion and human preferences for the prompt.
Step 2: Optimizing the Foundation Model
- Objective: To generate responses that maximize the reward scores assigned by the trained reward model.
- Process:
  - Generate responses using the current foundation model.
  - Score these responses using the trained reward model.
  - Optimize the foundation model to generate responses that achieve higher reward scores.
