abstract

Machine translation is a natural candidate problem for reinforcement learning from human feedback: users provide quick, dirty ratings on candidate translations to guide a system to improve. Yet, current neural machine translation training focuses on expensive human-generated reference translations. We describe a reinforcement learning algorithm that improves neural machine translation systems from simulated human feedback. Our algorithm combines the advantage actor-critic algorithm (Mnih et al., 2016) with the attention-based neural encoder-decoder architecture (Luong et al., 2015). This algorithm (a) is well-designed for problems with a large action space and delayed rewards, (b) effectively optimizes traditional corpus-level machine translation metrics, and (c) is robust to skewed, high-variance, granular feedback modeled after actual human behaviors.

Learning to summarize from human feedback

cs.CL · 2020-09-02 · conditional · novelty 7.0

Reinforcement learning on a reward model trained from human summary comparisons produces summaries humans prefer over supervised fine-tuning or human references on TL;DR and transfers to CNN/DM.

Fine-Tuning Language Models from Human Preferences

cs.CL · 2019-09-18 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Language models fine-tuned via RL on 5k-60k human preference comparisons produce stylistically better text continuations and human-preferred summaries that sometimes copy input sentences.
