What is Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and DPO (Direct Preference Optimization)?
❓ Interview Prompt: Explain alignment, Reward Model training, PPO vs DPO for aligning LLMs with human values.
Base pre-trained LLMs predict raw text continuations. Alignment aligns models to be helpful, honest, and harmless using human preference data:
1. RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback):
•
Humans rank multiple candidate model responses.
•
A Reward Model is trained to predict human preference scores.
•
The base LLM is fine-tuned using PPO (Proximal Policy Optimization) to maximize scores from the reward model.
2. DPO (Direct Preference Optimization):
Directly optimizes policy weights on preference pairs (Prompt, Chosen_Answer, Rejected_Answer) without needing to train a separate reward model or run complex PPO loops!
Code Implementation Example
json
{
"prompt": "Explain Quantum Computing simply.",
"chosen": "Quantum computing uses qubits that exist in superposition, allowing parallel calculations.",
"rejected": "It is a complex computational paradigm leveraging linear algebra Hilbert spaces."
}💡DPO training preference pair: chosen vs rejected response.
🎯 Interview Key Takeaway
RLHF and DPO align base completion models to produce safe, helpful, and formatted answers based on human preference data.
