RLHF-Reward-Modeling

Structure

The initial release of tis project focus on the Bradley-Terry reward modeling and pairwise preference model. Since then, we have included more advanced techniques to construct preference model. The structure of this project is

TL;DL: this is a repo for training the reward/preference model for DRL-based RLHF (PPO), Iterative SFT (Rejection sampling fine-tuning), and iterative DPO.

Installation instructions

It is recommeded to create separate environmnets for the Bradley-Terry reward model and pair wise preference model. The installation instructions are provided in the corresponding folders.

Dataset Preparation

The dataset should be preprocessed as the standard format, where each of the sample consists of two conversations 'chosen' and 'rejected' and they share the same prompt. Here is an example of the rejected sample in the comparison pair.

[
{ "content": "Please identify the top 5 rarest animals in the world.", "role": "user" },
{ "content": "Do you mean animals that are really rare, or rare relative to the size of the human population?", "role": "assistant" },
{ "content": "The ones that are really rare.", "role": "user" },
{ "content": "Alright, here’s what I found:", "role": "assistant" }, 
]

We preprocess many open-source preference datasets into the standard format and upload them to the hugginface hub. You can find them HERE. We have also searched and found that some of the following mixture of preference dataset useful.

Evaluation Results

You can evaluate the resulting reward model with the dataset provided by benchmark by the following command.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 python ./useful_code/eval_reward_bench_bt.py --reward_name_or_path ./models/gemma_2b_mixture2_last_checkpoint --record_dir ./bench_mark_eval.txt
