Implementation of Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF)

InstructGoose - 🚧 WORK IN PROGRESS 🚧

Paper: InstructGPT - Training language models to follow instructions with human feedback

Questions

• In the context of RLHF, how to calculate the $L_t^{V F}(\theta)$,
  • Like it’s a function of the PPO agent uses to predict how much reward it gets if generates the sequence?
• Does the RL model and the SFT model use the same tokenizer? Yes
• I don’t know how to returns the logit of the generation model
• Does the PPO Agent (Language Model) has a value network just like the regular PPO Agent?
• I don’t understand how to calculate the advantage in PPO

Install

pip install instruct-goose

Train the RL-based language model

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM
from instruct_goose import RLHFTrainer, create_reference_model, RLHFConfig

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("gpt2")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("gpt2")
ref_model = create_reference_model(model)

Train the reward model

TODO

• Add support batch inference for agent
• Add support batch for RLHF trainer
