CoLD: Counterfactually-Guided Length Debiasing for Process Reward Models in Mathematical Reasoning

Congmin Zheng, Jiachen Zhu, Jianghao Lin +6

Process Reward Models (PRMs) play a central role in evaluating and guiding multi-step reasoning in large language models (LLMs), especially for mathematical problem solving. Howeve…

Competitive Programming with Large Reasoning Models

OpenAI, :, Ahmed El-Kishky +23

We show that reinforcement learning applied to large language models (LLMs) significantly boosts performance on complex coding and reasoning tasks. Additionally, we compare two gen…

Prover-Verifier Games improve legibility of LLM outputs

Jan Hendrik Kirchner, Yining Chen, Harri Edwards +3

One way to increase confidence in the outputs of Large Language Models (LLMs) is to support them with reasoning that is clear and easy to check -- a property we call legibility. We…

LLM Critics Help Catch LLM Bugs

Nat McAleese, Rai Michael Pokorny, Juan Felipe Ceron Uribe +3

Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) is fundamentally limited by the capacity of humans to correctly evaluate model output. To improve human evaluation ability and ove…

Fine-tuning language models to find agreement among humans with diverse preferences

Michiel A. Bakker, Martin J. Chadwick, Hannah R. Sheahan +8

Recent work in large language modeling (LLMs) has used fine-tuning to align outputs with the preferences of a prototypical user. This work assumes that human preferences are static…

Fine-Tuning Language Models via Epistemic Neural Networks

Ian Osband, Seyed Mohammad Asghari, Benjamin Van Roy +3

Language models often pre-train on large unsupervised text corpora, then fine-tune on additional task-specific data. However, typical fine-tuning schemes do not prioritize the exam…

Improving alignment of dialogue agents via targeted human judgements

Amelia Glaese, Nat McAleese, Maja Trębacz +31

We present Sparrow, an information-seeking dialogue agent trained to be more helpful, correct, and harmless compared to prompted language model baselines. We use reinforcement lear…

Teaching language models to support answers with verified quotes

Jacob Menick, Maja Trebacz, Vladimir Mikulik +8

Recent large language models often answer factual questions correctly. But users can't trust any given claim a model makes without fact-checking, because language models can halluc…

Red Teaming Language Models with Language Models

Ethan Perez, Saffron Huang, Francis Song +6

Language Models (LMs) often cannot be deployed because of their potential to harm users in hard-to-predict ways. Prior work identifies harmful behaviors before deployment by using…

Scaling Language Models: Methods, Analysis & Insights from Training Gopher

Jack W. Rae, Sebastian Borgeaud, Trevor Cai +77

Language modelling provides a step towards intelligent communication systems by harnessing large repositories of written human knowledge to better predict and understand the world.…

Open-Ended Learning Leads to Generally Capable Agents

Open Ended Learning Team, Adam Stooke, Anuj Mahajan +15

In this work we create agents that can perform well beyond a single, individual task, that exhibit much wider generalisation of behaviour to a massive, rich space of challenges. We…
