RAT reformulates regularized natural policy gradients as vanilla gradients with a transformed advantage, computed efficiently via randomized block Kaczmarz iterations on on-policy data.
Iterative self-rewarding via LLM-as-Judge in DPO training on Llama 2 70B improves instruction following and self-evaluation, outperforming GPT-4 on AlpacaEval 2.0.
Training-inference mismatch in separated rollout and optimization stages of LLM RL can independently cause training collapse.
Response times modeled as drift-diffusion processes enable consistent estimation of population-average preferences from heterogeneous anonymous binary choices.
VisionReward learns multi-dimensional human preferences for image and video generation via hierarchical assessment and linear weighting, outperforming VideoScore by 17.2% in prediction accuracy and yielding 31.6% higher win rates in text-to-video models.
SCoRe uses multi-turn online RL with regularization on self-generated traces to improve LLM self-correction, achieving 15.6% and 9.1% gains on MATH and HumanEval for Gemini models.
Empirical analysis shows scaling inference compute via strategies like tree search can be more efficient than scaling model parameters, with 7B models plus novel search outperforming 34B models.
SPIN lets weak LLMs become strong by self-generating training data from previous model versions and training to prefer human-annotated responses over its own outputs, outperforming DPO even with extra GPT-4 data on benchmarks.
Falcon-180B is a 180B-parameter open decoder-only model trained on 3.5 trillion tokens that approaches PaLM-2-Large performance at lower cost and is released with dataset extracts.
Chain-of-Verification reduces hallucinations in large language models by drafting responses, planning independent verification questions, answering them separately, and generating a final verified output.
RLAIF matches RLHF on summarization and dialogue tasks, with a direct-RLAIF variant achieving superior results by using LLM rewards directly during training.
Humans chatting with an unreliable LLM assistant outperform both the model alone and unaided humans on MMLU and time-limited QuALITY tasks.
RAFT aligns generative models by ranking samples with a reward model and fine-tuning only on the top-ranked outputs, reporting gains on reward scores and automated metrics for LLMs and diffusion models.
A comprehensive survey of knowledge distillation for LLMs structured around algorithms, skill enhancement, and vertical applications, highlighting data augmentation as a key enabler.
