🤖 RLHF Alternatives - DPO and RRHF

This article presents three alternatives to Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) for training AI models: Direct Preference Optimization (DPO), Reward-Rank Hindsight Fine-Tuning (RRHF), and another unnamed method.

Key Points:

• Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) trains directly from human preferences, skipping the reward model and avoiding RL.

• Reward-Rank Hindsight Fine-Tuning (RRHF) offers a reframed approach.
