Wasserstein Distributionally Robust Regret Optimization for Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback
Yikai Wang, Shang Liu, Jose Blanchet
Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) is a central post-training tool for aligning large language models, but its training reward is only a learned proxy for true human…
Incentivizing High-Quality Human Annotations with Golden Questions
Shang Liu, Zhongze Cai, Hanzhao Wang +2
Human-annotated data plays a vital role in training large language models (LLMs), such as supervised fine-tuning and human preference alignment. However, it is not guaranteed that…
How Humans Help LLMs: Assessing and Incentivizing Human Preference Annotators
Shang Liu, Hanzhao Wang, Zhongyao Ma +1
Human-annotated preference data play an important role in aligning large language models (LLMs). In this paper, we study two connected questions: how to monitor the quality of huma…
Towards Better Statistical Understanding of Watermarking LLMs
Zhongze Cai, Shang Liu, Hanzhao Wang +2
In this paper, we study the problem of watermarking large language models (LLMs). We consider the trade-off between model distortion and detection ability and formulate it as a con…
Understanding Uncertainty Sampling via Equivalent Loss
Shang Liu, Xiaocheng Li
Uncertainty sampling is a prevalent active learning algorithm that queries sequentially the annotations of data samples which the current prediction model is uncertain about. Howev…
