When Distance Distracts: Representation Distance Bias in BT-Loss for Reward Models

Tong Xie, Andrew Bai, Yuanhao Ban +3

Reward models are central to Large Language Model (LLM) alignment within the framework of RLHF. The standard objective used in reward modeling is the Bradley-Terry (BT) loss, which…

Concepts or Skills? Rethinking Instruction Selection for Multi-modal Models

Andrew Bai, Justin Cui, Ruochen Wang +1

Vision-language instruction tuning achieves two main purposes: learning visual concepts and learning visual skills. In this paper, we found that vision-language benchmarks fall int…
