Reinforced Self-Training (ReST) for Language Modeling

Caglar Gulcehre, Tom Le Paine, Srivatsan Srinivasan +11

Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) can improve the quality of large language model's (LLM) outputs by aligning them with human preferences. We propose a simple algor…

Self-supervised and Supervised Joint Training for Resource-rich Machine Translation

Yong Cheng, Wei Wang, Lu Jiang +1

Self-supervised pre-training of text representations has been successfully applied to low-resource Neural Machine Translation (NMT). However, it usually fails to achieve notable ga…
