// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
RLHF
A training method where an AI model learns to produce better outputs by getting feedback from humans who rank or rate different responses, guiding the model to prefer more desirable results.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is a post-training technique for large language models (LLMs) where a reward model, trained on human preferences for LLM outputs, is used to fine-tune the LLM via reinforcement learning, aligning its behavior with human values and desired characteristics.
BACKGROUND
In machine learning, reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) is a technique to align an intelligent agent with human preferences. It involves training a reward model to represent preferences, which can then be used to train other models through reinforcement learning.
