ULMA: Unified Language Model Alignment with Human Demonstration and Point-wise Preference (2312.02554v2)

Published 5 Dec 2023 in cs.LG and cs.CL

Abstract: Aligning LLMs to human expectations, e.g., being helpful and harmless, has become a pressing challenge for LLMs. A typical alignment procedure consists of supervised fine-tuning and preference learning. Most preference learning methods, such as RLHF and DPO, depend on pairwise preference data, which inadequately address scenarios where human feedback is point-wise, leading to potential information loss and suboptimal performance. Addressing this gap, we introduce Point-wise Direct Preference Optimization, a novel preference learning method designed to harness point-wise feedback effectively. Our work also uncovers a novel connection between supervised fine-tuning and point-wise preference learning, culminating in Unified LLM Alignment, a single-step method that unifies the alignment with human demonstrations and point-wise preferences. Extensive experiments on point-wise preference datasets with binary or continuous labels validate the effectiveness of our methods. Our code and a new dataset with high-quality demonstration samples on harmlessness are released.
