Hugging Face paper explores three models for RLHF annotation

A new paper proposes three distinct models for understanding the role of human annotators in Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) pipelines. These models are 'extension,' where annotators mirror designers' judgments; 'evidence,' where annotators provide factual information; and 'authority,' where annotators represent broader population views. The paper argues that clarifying which model is used for different annotation tasks can improve RLHF pipeline design and aggregation methods. AI

IMPACT Clarifies annotation models for RLHF, potentially improving alignment and safety.

    Three Models of RLHF Annotation: Extension, Evidence, and Authority

    Preference-based alignment methods, most prominently Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF), use the judgments of human annotators to shape large language model behaviour. However, the normative role of these judgments is rarely made explicit. I distinguish three conce…
