alpaca-rlhf

Finetuning alpaca with RLHF (Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback). The base model is from my-alpaca and multi-turn-alpaca, which train LLaMA with the original alpaca dataset and a multi-turn dialogue dataset respectively.

    • The mean and standard deviation of the reward of the chosen responses are collected and used to normalize the reward in step 3. In one experiment, they are -0.8677118420600891 and 0.2210693359375 respectively and are used in the generate_experience methods: 'rewards': (reward_score - (-0.8677118420600891)) / 0.2210693359375.
