Self-Rewarding PPO: Aligning Large Language Models with Demonstrations Only

Qingru Zhang, Liang Qiu, Ilgee Hong +11

Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) has emerged as a crucial method for aligning large language models (LLMs) with human-annotated demonstrations. However, SFT, being an off-policy approa…

Ask a Strong LLM Judge when Your Reward Model is Uncertain

Zhenghao Xu, Qin Lu, Qingru Zhang +9

Reward model (RM) plays a pivotal role in reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) for aligning large language models (LLMs). However, classical RMs trained on human prefe…

Think-RM: Enabling Long-Horizon Reasoning in Generative Reward Models

Ilgee Hong, Changlong Yu, Liang Qiu +8

Reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) has become a powerful post-training paradigm for aligning large language models with human preferences. A core challenge in RLHF i…

Tell Your Model Where to Attend: Post-hoc Attention Steering for LLMs

Qingru Zhang, Chandan Singh, Liyuan Liu +4

In human-written articles, we often leverage the subtleties of text style, such as bold and italics, to guide the attention of readers. These textual emphases are vital for the rea…

GEAR: An Efficient KV Cache Compression Recipe for Near-Lossless Generative Inference of LLM

Hao Kang, Qingru Zhang, Souvik Kundu +4

Key-value (KV) caching has become the de-facto to accelerate generation speed for large language models (LLMs) inference. However, the growing cache demand with increasing sequence…
