PolyAlign: Conditional Human-Distribution Alignment

L. D. M. S. Sai Teja, Ufaq Khan, Sathira Silva +2

Post-training methods such as supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and preference optimization typically align language models toward a single global assistant behavior. While effective fo…

HelpSteer3-Preference: Open Human-Annotated Preference Data across Diverse Tasks and Languages

Zhilin Wang, Jiaqi Zeng, Olivier Delalleau +6

Preference datasets are essential for training general-domain, instruction-following language models with Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). Each subsequent data re…

HelpSteer3: Human-Annotated Feedback and Edit Data to Empower Inference-Time Scaling in Open-Ended General-Domain Tasks

Zhilin Wang, Jiaqi Zeng, Olivier Delalleau +6

Inference-Time Scaling has been critical to the success of recent models such as OpenAI o1 and DeepSeek R1. However, many techniques used to train models for inference-time scaling…

Diverging Preferences: When do Annotators Disagree and do Models Know?

Michael JQ Zhang, Zhilin Wang, Jena D. Hwang +6

We examine diverging preferences in human-labeled preference datasets. We develop a taxonomy of disagreement sources spanning ten categories across four high-level classes and find…

HelpSteer2-Preference: Complementing Ratings with Preferences

Zhilin Wang, Alexander Bukharin, Olivier Delalleau +5

Reward models are critical for aligning models to follow instructions, and are typically trained following one of two popular paradigms: Bradley-Terry style or Regression style. Ho…

Data, Data Everywhere: A Guide for Pretraining Dataset Construction

Jupinder Parmar, Shrimai Prabhumoye, Joseph Jennings +6

The impressive capabilities of recent language models can be largely attributed to the multi-trillion token pretraining datasets that they are trained on. However, model developers…

HelpSteer: Multi-attribute Helpfulness Dataset for SteerLM

Zhilin Wang, Yi Dong, Jiaqi Zeng +8

Existing open-source helpfulness preference datasets do not specify what makes some responses more helpful and others less so. Models trained on these datasets can incidentally lea…

Humanoid Agents: Platform for Simulating Human-like Generative Agents

Zhilin Wang, Yu Ying Chiu, Yu Cheung Chiu

Just as computational simulations of atoms, molecules and cells have shaped the way we study the sciences, true-to-life simulations of human-like agents can be valuable tools for s…
