Paper distinguishes three models for RLHF annotation: extension, evidence, and authority

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A new paper proposes three distinct models for how human annotator judgments shape large language model behavior through Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). These models are 'extension,' where annotators align with designers' views; 'evidence,' where annotators provide factual information; and 'authority,' where annotators represent broader societal consensus. The paper argues that RLHF pipelines should be tailored to these different roles rather than using a single unified approach. AI

IMPACT Clarifies the normative role of human feedback in LLM alignment, potentially improving annotation strategies.
