# 6.1 Objective Evaluation
Comparison of Prompting Methods: We conduct a comparison between our proposed method and different prompting approaches. The results, as shown in Tab. 2, reveal the effectiveness of our step-wise prompting approach compared to baselines such as zero-shot CoT and the statistical predictor. The experimental results demonstrate that each step in our prompting process contributes signiï¬cantly, leading to improved F-score for both characters and skills. This highlights the enhanced understanding capability of LLMs in comprehending the given contexts. Furthermore, due to the distribution bias present in our dataset, the statistical predictor proves to be useful, albeit with considerably lower performance compared to our proposed method and other prompting methods. This reveal the lower performance boundary in predicting skill labels.
Furthermore, in line with previous studies [9, 5, 21], the incorporation of zero-shot CoT has demon- strated improvements in the performance of LLMs across various tasks. However, when applied to the MOE task, the observed enhancements are not as substantial. Since MOE involves more grounded semantics and complex interactions, it presents a challenging scenario for existing prompting methods and remains an unsolved problem that requires further investigation. | 2307.12573#39 | Tachikuma: Understading Complex Interactions with Multi-Character and Novel Objects by Large Language Models | Recent advancements in natural language and Large Language Models (LLMs) have
enabled AI agents to simulate human-like interactions within virtual worlds.
However, these interactions still face limitations in complexity and
flexibility, particularly in scenarios involving multiple characters and novel
objects. Pre-defining all interactable objects in the agent's world model
presents challenges, and conveying implicit intentions to multiple characters
through complex interactions remains difficult. To address these issues, we
propose integrating virtual Game Masters (GMs) into the agent's world model,
drawing inspiration from Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TRPGs). GMs play a
crucial role in overseeing information, estimating players' intentions,
providing environment descriptions, and offering feedback, compensating for
current world model deficiencies. To facilitate future explorations for complex
interactions, we introduce a benchmark named Tachikuma, comprising a Multiple
character and novel Object based interaction Estimation (MOE) task and a
supporting dataset. MOE challenges models to understand characters' intentions
and accurately determine their actions within intricate contexts involving
multi-character and novel object interactions. Besides, the dataset captures
log data from real-time communications during gameplay, providing diverse,
grounded, and complex interactions for further explorations. Finally, we
present a simple prompting baseline and evaluate its performance, demonstrating
its effectiveness in enhancing interaction understanding. We hope that our
dataset and task will inspire further research in complex interactions with
natural language, fostering the development of more advanced AI agents. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12573 | Yuanzhi Liang, Linchao Zhu, Yi Yang | cs.CL | Preliminary version of an ongoing work | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230724 | [

Preprint
Architecture and Objective We hypothesize that lo- cal and global attention mechanisms can capture the hierarchical structures of HTML documents better than dense attention. We compare the web automa- tion performance among 56 MiniWoB++ tasks (Gur et al., 2022), by finetuning HTML-T5 with public 12K-episode dataset (Liu et al., 2018). We adopt 2048 and 4096 tokens as input length and prepare Base-size architectures. Table 2 (left) reveals that the combination of local and global attentions achieves the superior success rate by over 18% compared to the instruction-finetuned dense attentions (Chung et al., 2022; Raffel et al., 2020) and local attention only. Surprisingly, local attention only still surpasses the dense attention by about 9%, which suggests local relation between elements and attributes in HTML are essential for web tasks. | 2307.12856#39 | A Real-World WebAgent with Planning, Long Context Understanding, and Program Synthesis | Pre-trained large language models (LLMs) have recently achieved better
generalization and sample efficiency in autonomous web automation. However, the

for aligning language models to follow natural language principles without

pairs that contain both a high-quality and low-quality example, generated using
contrasting positive and negative prompts. The preference model is then used to
improve a base unaligned language model via reinforcement learning.
Empirically, RLCD outperforms RLAIF (Bai et al., 2022b) and context
distillation (Huang et al., 2022) baselines across three diverse alignment
tasks--harmlessness, helpfulness, and story outline generation--and on both 7B
and 30B model scales for preference data simulation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12950 | Kevin Yang, Dan Klein, Asli Celikyilmaz, Nanyun Peng, Yuandong Tian | cs.CL, cs.AI | null | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230818 | [

2307.12966 | 39 | # 3.1 Online Human Preference Training
Reinforcement learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) (Ouyang et al., 2022) is designed to learn the human preference signals from external reward models under the PPO framework. Speciï¬cally, RLHF consists of three main stages:
⢠Step 1: Collecting a high-quality instruction set and conducting SFT of pre-trained LLMs.
⢠Step 2: Collecting manually ranked compari- son response pairs and train a reward model IR to justify the quality of generated responses.
⢠Step 3: Optimizing the SFT model (policy) under the PPO reinforcement learning frame- work with reward calculated by IR.
In Step 3, to mitigate over-optimization is- sues, Ouyang et al. (2022) add a KL-divergence regularization between the current model weight | 2307.12966#39 | Aligning Large Language Models with Human: A Survey | Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on extensive textual corpora have
emerged as leading solutions for a broad array of Natural Language Processing
(NLP) tasks. Despite their notable performance, these models are prone to
certain limitations such as misunderstanding human instructions, generating
potentially biased content, or factually incorrect (hallucinated) information.
Hence, aligning LLMs with human expectations has become an active area of
interest within the research community. This survey presents a comprehensive
overview of these alignment technologies, including the following aspects. (1)
Data collection: the methods for effectively collecting high-quality
instructions for LLM alignment, including the use of NLP benchmarks, human
annotations, and leveraging strong LLMs. (2) Training methodologies: a detailed
review of the prevailing training methods employed for LLM alignment. Our
exploration encompasses Supervised Fine-tuning, both Online and Offline human
preference training, along with parameter-efficient training mechanisms. (3)
Model Evaluation: the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of these
human-aligned LLMs, presenting a multifaceted approach towards their
assessment. In conclusion, we collate and distill our findings, shedding light
on several promising future research avenues in the field. This survey,
therefore, serves as a valuable resource for anyone invested in understanding
and advancing the alignment of LLMs to better suit human-oriented tasks and
expectations. An associated GitHub link collecting the latest papers is

2307.12966 | 40 | In Step 3, to mitigate over-optimization is- sues, Ouyang et al. (2022) add a KL-divergence regularization between the current model weight
and the SFT model weight obtained in Step 1. How- ever, despite being effective in learning human pref- erences, PPO training is difï¬cult in implementation and stable training. Therefore, Dong et al. (2023) try to remove the PPO training in the above process and propose a novel Reward rAnked FineTuning (RAFT) method, which uses an existing reward model to select the best set of training samples based on the model outputs. Speciï¬cally, RAFT ï¬rst samples a large batch of instructions, then uses the current LLMs to respond to these instructions. These data are then ranked by the reward model and only top 1 k instances are applied for SFT. RAFT can also be used in ofï¬ine human preference learning where the global instruction set is continually up- dated with the top-ranked instructions in each batch. This contiguously updates the global instruction set to improve training data quality at each step.
# 3.2 Ofï¬ine Human Preference Training | 2307.12966#40 | Aligning Large Language Models with Human: A Survey | Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on extensive textual corpora have
emerged as leading solutions for a broad array of Natural Language Processing
(NLP) tasks. Despite their notable performance, these models are prone to
certain limitations such as misunderstanding human instructions, generating
potentially biased content, or factually incorrect (hallucinated) information.
Hence, aligning LLMs with human expectations has become an active area of
interest within the research community. This survey presents a comprehensive
overview of these alignment technologies, including the following aspects. (1)
Data collection: the methods for effectively collecting high-quality
instructions for LLM alignment, including the use of NLP benchmarks, human
annotations, and leveraging strong LLMs. (2) Training methodologies: a detailed
review of the prevailing training methods employed for LLM alignment. Our
exploration encompasses Supervised Fine-tuning, both Online and Offline human
preference training, along with parameter-efficient training mechanisms. (3)
Model Evaluation: the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of these
human-aligned LLMs, presenting a multifaceted approach towards their
assessment. In conclusion, we collate and distill our findings, shedding light
on several promising future research avenues in the field. This survey,
therefore, serves as a valuable resource for anyone invested in understanding
and advancing the alignment of LLMs to better suit human-oriented tasks and
expectations. An associated GitHub link collecting the latest papers is

2307.12573 | 41 | # 6.2 Subjective Evaluation
We conducted a subjective evaluation by recruiting real-human players of TRPG as volunteers and collecting their responses through questionnaires. The average scores in different factors, which are naturalness, groundedness, and factual correctness, were computed following established guidelines [25, 18, 4, 23, 10]. The statistical results are presented in Fig. 5. Notably, methods that take into account the predictions or ground truth of MOE demonstrate higher performance across all evaluation factors. Generally, methods utilizing MOE labels outperform those using predicted labels. Moreover, when considering MOE predictions, the methods achieve superior performance in generating virtual GM responses. This observation conï¬rms that a higher understanding ability for complex semantics leads to more vivid and human-like responses from the agents. Additionally, it underscores the strong correlation between MOE performance and virtual GM performance, highlighting the importance of MOE in the pursuit of improved agent generation. | 2307.12573#41 | Tachikuma: Understading Complex Interactions with Multi-Character and Novel Objects by Large Language Models | Recent advancements in natural language and Large Language Models (LLMs) have
enabled AI agents to simulate human-like interactions within virtual worlds.
However, these interactions still face limitations in complexity and
flexibility, particularly in scenarios involving multiple characters and novel
objects. Pre-defining all interactable objects in the agent's world model
presents challenges, and conveying implicit intentions to multiple characters
through complex interactions remains difficult. To address these issues, we
propose integrating virtual Game Masters (GMs) into the agent's world model,
drawing inspiration from Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TRPGs). GMs play a
crucial role in overseeing information, estimating players' intentions,
providing environment descriptions, and offering feedback, compensating for
current world model deficiencies. To facilitate future explorations for complex
interactions, we introduce a benchmark named Tachikuma, comprising a Multiple
character and novel Object based interaction Estimation (MOE) task and a
supporting dataset. MOE challenges models to understand characters' intentions
and accurately determine their actions within intricate contexts involving
multi-character and novel object interactions. Besides, the dataset captures
log data from real-time communications during gameplay, providing diverse,
grounded, and complex interactions for further explorations. Finally, we
present a simple prompting baseline and evaluate its performance, demonstrating
its effectiveness in enhancing interaction understanding. We hope that our
dataset and task will inspire further research in complex interactions with
natural language, fostering the development of more advanced AI agents. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12573 | Yuanzhi Liang, Linchao Zhu, Yi Yang | cs.CL | Preliminary version of an ongoing work | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230724 | [

2307.12856 | 41 | Table 4: Average success rate of MiniWoB++ with 56 tasks. We use 12K demonstrations and compare HTML-T5 among supervised-finetuned methods. HTML-T5-XL outperforms CC-Net (Humphreys et al., 2022) and WebN-T5-XL (Gur et al., 2022), the prior best method, by 18.7%. HTML-denoising also yields better the success rate than instruc- tion tuned ones. Finetuned HTML-T5 with 347K demonstrations (Furuta et al., 2023) outperforms Flan-T5-XXL (11B parameters) even with 3B pa- rameters. See Appendix J for the detailed results.
As for pre-training objective in Table 2 (right), HTML-denoising generally improves the perfor- mance on offline task planning on real estate website and MiniWoB. Especially, using only longer span lengths (µ â {8, 64}) outperforms other choices, including the popular configuration in natural lan- guage domain (µ â {3, 8, 64} + Prefix LM objective), which can reduce the less meaningful prediction from shorter spans (e.g. µ = 3), and inject the structural bias of HTML into language models better. See Appendix H.2 for further results with model scaling.
# 5 DISCUSSION AND LIMITATION | 2307.12856#41 | A Real-World WebAgent with Planning, Long Context Understanding, and Program Synthesis | Pre-trained large language models (LLMs) have recently achieved better
generalization and sample efficiency in autonomous web automation. However, the
performance on real-world websites has still suffered from (1) open domainness,
(2) limited context length, and (3) lack of inductive bias on HTML. We
introduce WebAgent, an LLM-driven agent that learns from self-experience to
complete tasks on real websites following natural language instructions.
WebAgent plans ahead by decomposing instructions into canonical
sub-instructions, summarizes long HTML documents into task-relevant snippets,
and acts on websites via Python programs generated from those. We design
WebAgent with Flan-U-PaLM, for grounded code generation, and HTML-T5, new
pre-trained LLMs for long HTML documents using local and global attention
mechanisms and a mixture of long-span denoising objectives, for planning and
summarization. We empirically demonstrate that our modular recipe improves the
success on real websites by over 50%, and that HTML-T5 is the best model to
solve various HTML understanding tasks; achieving 18.7% higher success rate
than the prior method on MiniWoB web automation benchmark, and SoTA performance
on Mind2Web, an offline task planning evaluation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12856 | Izzeddin Gur, Hiroki Furuta, Austin Huang, Mustafa Safdari, Yutaka Matsuo, Douglas Eck, Aleksandra Faust | cs.LG, cs.AI, cs.CL | null | null | cs.LG | 20230724 | 20231003 | [

2307.12966 | 41 | # 3.2 Ofï¬ine Human Preference Training
Although the above online algorithms have been shown effective in learning human preference, im- plementing these algorithms could be non-trivial because its training procedure requires interaction between policy, behavior policy, reward, and value model, which requires many hyper-parameters to be tuned to achieve better stability and performance. To avoid this issue, researchers also explore learn- ing human preferences in an ofï¬ine fashion.
3.2.1 Ranking-based Approach As human preferences are often expressed as a rank- ing result over a set of responses, some research efforts directly incorporate the ranking informa- tion into the LLMs ï¬ne-tuning stage. Rafailov et al. (2023) propose Direct Preference Optimiza- tion (DPO), which implicitly optimizes the same objective as existing RLHF algorithms (i.e., reward function with a KL-divergence term) discussed above. Speciï¬cally, the DPO training objective can be written as:
LDPO = log Ï Î² log( Ïθ(yw | x) ÏSFT(yw | x) · ÏSFT(yl | x) Ïθ(yl | x) ) | 2307.12966#41 | Aligning Large Language Models with Human: A Survey | Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on extensive textual corpora have

2307.12573 | 42 | Besides, our prompting method demonstrates superior performance in all evaluated factors. Speciï¬- cally, our method exhibits signiï¬cant improvements in factual correctness compared to the baseline methods. Furthermore, in terms of groundedness and naturalness, our method showcases comparable or even better performance than other methods. These results indicate that our method achieves enhanced understanding ability and is capable of generating improved utterances as GM descriptions. However, there is still ample room for improvement in terms of groundness and naturalness. The generated utterances may occasionally be overly verbose and lack the same level of vividness as those produced by real humans. This performance gap motivates further exploration of more effective methods for constructing advanced AI agents.
# 7 Conclusion
This paper proposes a new dataset, task, and benchmark to enhance the understanding ability of AI agents in dealing with complex interactions with multiple characters. The existing works in this ï¬eld have limitations, particularly their reliance on forum-based data collections and do not consider complex and grounded semantics in the real-time communications. To overcome these limitations, we formalize a new task named Multiple character and Open instances based interaction Estimation (MOE), providing a testbed for the understanding ability of the agents and leading further improvements in agentsâ factual correctness. We also introduce a dataset to support MOE task, which is derived from real-time game logs in tabletop role-playing games (TRPGs) and provides
10 | 2307.12573#42 | Tachikuma: Understading Complex Interactions with Multi-Character and Novel Objects by Large Language Models | Recent advancements in natural language and Large Language Models (LLMs) have
enabled AI agents to simulate human-like interactions within virtual worlds.
However, these interactions still face limitations in complexity and
flexibility, particularly in scenarios involving multiple characters and novel
objects. Pre-defining all interactable objects in the agent's world model
presents challenges, and conveying implicit intentions to multiple characters
through complex interactions remains difficult. To address these issues, we
propose integrating virtual Game Masters (GMs) into the agent's world model,
drawing inspiration from Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TRPGs). GMs play a
crucial role in overseeing information, estimating players' intentions,
providing environment descriptions, and offering feedback, compensating for
current world model deficiencies. To facilitate future explorations for complex
interactions, we introduce a benchmark named Tachikuma, comprising a Multiple
character and novel Object based interaction Estimation (MOE) task and a
supporting dataset. MOE challenges models to understand characters' intentions
and accurately determine their actions within intricate contexts involving
multi-character and novel object interactions. Besides, the dataset captures
log data from real-time communications during gameplay, providing diverse,
grounded, and complex interactions for further explorations. Finally, we
present a simple prompting baseline and evaluate its performance, demonstrating
its effectiveness in enhancing interaction understanding. We hope that our
dataset and task will inspire further research in complex interactions with
natural language, fostering the development of more advanced AI agents. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12573 | Yuanzhi Liang, Linchao Zhu, Yi Yang | cs.CL | Preliminary version of an ongoing work | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230724 | [

2307.12856 | 42 | # 5 DISCUSSION AND LIMITATION
Modular Approach with Specialist Language Models We demonstrate it is beneficial to divide web automation into planning, HTML summarization, and code generation, and to combine domain- expert language models aligned with self-experience data. Such modular approaches have also been adopted to support the inference of LLMs (Xu et al., 2023), multimodal tasks (Zeng et al., 2022), and robotics (Ahn et al., 2022), which, however, might cause additional computational costs and latency.
Broad Generalization across the Internet Because open-loop planning with prompted Flan-U- PaLM achieves at most 10 - 30% success, we have demonstrated that self-experience supervision on real websites is essential for planning modules. As we demonstrated in Mind2Web, our method could generalize across the internet if we have enough data. It would be expected to collect demonstrations at scale and align larger domain-expert models with them in future works.
Feedback for Program Synthesis We leverage Flan-U-PaLM with 540B parameters, as a capable program synthesis module via few-shot prompting. Such a large model, however, makes it challenging to reflect the feedback about the errors in generated code, compared to smaller models. We leave it as future direction to incorporate the feedback for program synthesis into larger language models. | 2307.12856#42 | A Real-World WebAgent with Planning, Long Context Understanding, and Program Synthesis | Pre-trained large language models (LLMs) have recently achieved better
generalization and sample efficiency in autonomous web automation. However, the
performance on real-world websites has still suffered from (1) open domainness,
(2) limited context length, and (3) lack of inductive bias on HTML. We
introduce WebAgent, an LLM-driven agent that learns from self-experience to
complete tasks on real websites following natural language instructions.
WebAgent plans ahead by decomposing instructions into canonical
sub-instructions, summarizes long HTML documents into task-relevant snippets,
and acts on websites via Python programs generated from those. We design
WebAgent with Flan-U-PaLM, for grounded code generation, and HTML-T5, new
pre-trained LLMs for long HTML documents using local and global attention
mechanisms and a mixture of long-span denoising objectives, for planning and
summarization. We empirically demonstrate that our modular recipe improves the
success on real websites by over 50%, and that HTML-T5 is the best model to
solve various HTML understanding tasks; achieving 18.7% higher success rate
than the prior method on MiniWoB web automation benchmark, and SoTA performance
on Mind2Web, an offline task planning evaluation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12856 | Izzeddin Gur, Hiroki Furuta, Austin Huang, Mustafa Safdari, Yutaka Matsuo, Douglas Eck, Aleksandra Faust | cs.LG, cs.AI, cs.CL | null | null | cs.LG | 20230724 | 20231003 | [

a richer and more complex context capable of supporting MOE tasks. Additionally, we introduce a prompting benchmark designed speciï¬cally to reï¬ne the interaction capabilities of AI agents in TRPGs. This benchmark focuses on understanding complex interactions and generating vibrant game master utterances. The three-stage generation process, which includes game check and GM utterance generation, has been evaluated both objectively and subjectively. The results clearly indicate that this approach signiï¬cantly enhances the quality of AI responses within the TRPG context. We hope that this work will serve as inspiration for the AI community to further explore and enhance their understanding of complex grounded interactions and advance the interaction ability of AI agents.

2307.12856 | 43 | Evaluation for Real-world Web Automation Beyond the simulated web environments (Shi et al., 2017; Yao et al., 2022a), we have exhibited WebAgent can follow given complex and sometimes ambiguous instructions on real estate, social media and map websites. On the other hand, it is costly to evaluate the performance of autonomous agents in the real world. Automated evaluation with minimal human intervention would be helpful for the scalable development of real-world web agents.
# 6 CONCLUSION
We build a system for real-world web automation, combining HTML-T5 for planning and HTML summarization and Flan-U-PaLM for grounded program synthesis. Our proposed WebAgent achieves around 70-80% success on real websites via self-experience supervision, outperforming single LLM

approach by over 50%, which suggests dividing the sequence of sub-problems with multiple language models can increase the entire task success. We also propose a scalable recipe for HTML-specialized language models where we train local and global attention mechanisms with a mixture of long-span denoising objectives to capture the hierarchical structures of HTML documents. HTML-T5 not only plays an essential role in WebAgent but also can achieve the best results on a variety of HTML-based benchmarks such as Mind2Web and MiniWoB++. We hope our work contributes to getting us one-step closer to the practical deployment of autonomous web agent systems.

2307.12966 | 43 | PRO also adds SFT training objective for the regu- larization purpose. Instead of adapting the reward training objective, Zhao et al. (2023) take the ï¬rst step to calibrate the sequence likelihood using vari- ous ranking functions, including rank loss, margin loss, list rank loss (Liu et al., 2022c) and expected rank loss (Edunov et al., 2018). In addition, they also explore to use SFT training objective and KL- divergence as the regularization term. The experi- ment results on various text generation tasks show that the rank loss with the KL-divergence term per- forms the best. However, this paper only uses the BERTScore (Zhang* et al., 2020) between each candidate output and the ground-truth reference to simulate human preferences and they only conduct experiment on small pre-trained language models (i.e., no larger than 2B). Yuan et al. (2023) pro- pose RRHF, which further optimizes LLaMA-7B to align with human preferences using a similar framework described above. RRHF is based on the list rank loss, but removes the margin terms based on the empirical results. In addition, differ- ent from Liu et al. | 2307.12966#43 | Aligning Large Language Models with Human: A Survey | Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on extensive textual corpora have
emerged as leading solutions for a broad array of Natural Language Processing
(NLP) tasks. Despite their notable performance, these models are prone to
certain limitations such as misunderstanding human instructions, generating
potentially biased content, or factually incorrect (hallucinated) information.
Hence, aligning LLMs with human expectations has become an active area of
interest within the research community. This survey presents a comprehensive
overview of these alignment technologies, including the following aspects. (1)
Data collection: the methods for effectively collecting high-quality
instructions for LLM alignment, including the use of NLP benchmarks, human
annotations, and leveraging strong LLMs. (2) Training methodologies: a detailed
review of the prevailing training methods employed for LLM alignment. Our
exploration encompasses Supervised Fine-tuning, both Online and Offline human
preference training, along with parameter-efficient training mechanisms. (3)
Model Evaluation: the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of these
human-aligned LLMs, presenting a multifaceted approach towards their
assessment. In conclusion, we collate and distill our findings, shedding light
on several promising future research avenues in the field. This survey,
therefore, serves as a valuable resource for anyone invested in understanding
and advancing the alignment of LLMs to better suit human-oriented tasks and
expectations. An associated GitHub link collecting the latest papers is

2307.12573 | 44 | # 8 Limitations and Social Impacts
While the use of an AI agent in a tabletop role-playing game (TRPG) could revolutionize the way these games are played, providing consistent and unbiased decisions, there are potential limitations and social impacts to consider. One key limitation is the AIâs ability to simulate human creativity, empathy, and adaptability, which are all fundamental to the role of a game master. For instance, the AI may not fully comprehend nuanced player interactions or adapt the game based on the playersâ emotional state. Additionally, there could be social implications, such as the potential reduction in human interaction and shared storytelling, which are often crucial elements of TRPGs. For players, part of the joy of a TRPG is the shared human experience, the unpredictable responses, and the subtle non-verbal cues, which an AI might not replicate. The introduction of an AI game master could also result in job loss in professional game-mastering circles. Despite the AIâs potential to provide a consistent and more accessible gaming experience, these human and social elements may be irreplaceable in a TRPG context.

A DATA GENERATION AND SCORING PROMPTS
A.1 HARMLESSNESS
The scoring instructions used in RLAIF to rank outputs o1, o2 are from Bai et al. (2022b), reproduced in Table 7, and we follow their prompt templates for scoring (e.g., Table 8). For each pair (o1, o2) we randomly sample one scoring instruction to use. Several of these instructions are not purely focused on harmlessness (or related qualities such as social acceptability, honesty and morality), but also often ask for helpfulness, which is why we additionally evaluate helpfulness on our harmlessness prompt set. | 2307.12950#44 | RLCD: Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation for Language Model Alignment | We propose Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation (RLCD), a method
for aligning language models to follow natural language principles without
using human feedback. RLCD trains a preference model using simulated preference
pairs that contain both a high-quality and low-quality example, generated using
contrasting positive and negative prompts. The preference model is then used to
improve a base unaligned language model via reinforcement learning.
Empirically, RLCD outperforms RLAIF (Bai et al., 2022b) and context
distillation (Huang et al., 2022) baselines across three diverse alignment
tasks--harmlessness, helpfulness, and story outline generation--and on both 7B
and 30B model scales for preference data simulation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12950 | Kevin Yang, Dan Klein, Asli Celikyilmaz, Nanyun Peng, Yuandong Tian | cs.CL, cs.AI | null | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230818 | [

enabled AI agents to simulate human-like interactions within virtual worlds.
However, these interactions still face limitations in complexity and
flexibility, particularly in scenarios involving multiple characters and novel
objects. Pre-defining all interactable objects in the agent's world model
presents challenges, and conveying implicit intentions to multiple characters
through complex interactions remains difficult. To address these issues, we
propose integrating virtual Game Masters (GMs) into the agent's world model,
drawing inspiration from Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TRPGs). GMs play a
crucial role in overseeing information, estimating players' intentions,
providing environment descriptions, and offering feedback, compensating for
current world model deficiencies. To facilitate future explorations for complex
interactions, we introduce a benchmark named Tachikuma, comprising a Multiple
character and novel Object based interaction Estimation (MOE) task and a
supporting dataset. MOE challenges models to understand characters' intentions
and accurately determine their actions within intricate contexts involving
multi-character and novel object interactions. Besides, the dataset captures
log data from real-time communications during gameplay, providing diverse,
grounded, and complex interactions for further explorations. Finally, we
present a simple prompting baseline and evaluate its performance, demonstrating
its effectiveness in enhancing interaction understanding. We hope that our
dataset and task will inspire further research in complex interactions with
natural language, fostering the development of more advanced AI agents. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12573 | Yuanzhi Liang, Linchao Zhu, Yi Yang | cs.CL | Preliminary version of an ongoing work | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230724 | [

emerged as leading solutions for a broad array of Natural Language Processing
(NLP) tasks. Despite their notable performance, these models are prone to
certain limitations such as misunderstanding human instructions, generating
potentially biased content, or factually incorrect (hallucinated) information.
Hence, aligning LLMs with human expectations has become an active area of
interest within the research community. This survey presents a comprehensive
overview of these alignment technologies, including the following aspects. (1)
Data collection: the methods for effectively collecting high-quality
instructions for LLM alignment, including the use of NLP benchmarks, human
annotations, and leveraging strong LLMs. (2) Training methodologies: a detailed
review of the prevailing training methods employed for LLM alignment. Our
exploration encompasses Supervised Fine-tuning, both Online and Offline human
preference training, along with parameter-efficient training mechanisms. (3)
Model Evaluation: the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of these
human-aligned LLMs, presenting a multifaceted approach towards their
assessment. In conclusion, we collate and distill our findings, shedding light
on several promising future research avenues in the field. This survey,
therefore, serves as a valuable resource for anyone invested in understanding
and advancing the alignment of LLMs to better suit human-oriented tasks and
expectations. An associated GitHub link collecting the latest papers is

generalization and sample efficiency in autonomous web automation. However, the
performance on real-world websites has still suffered from (1) open domainness,
(2) limited context length, and (3) lack of inductive bias on HTML. We
introduce WebAgent, an LLM-driven agent that learns from self-experience to
complete tasks on real websites following natural language instructions.
WebAgent plans ahead by decomposing instructions into canonical
sub-instructions, summarizes long HTML documents into task-relevant snippets,
and acts on websites via Python programs generated from those. We design
WebAgent with Flan-U-PaLM, for grounded code generation, and HTML-T5, new
pre-trained LLMs for long HTML documents using local and global attention
mechanisms and a mixture of long-span denoising objectives, for planning and
summarization. We empirically demonstrate that our modular recipe improves the
success on real websites by over 50%, and that HTML-T5 is the best model to
solve various HTML understanding tasks; achieving 18.7% higher success rate
than the prior method on MiniWoB web automation benchmark, and SoTA performance

2307.12966 | 46 | natural language to inject human preference via SFT. Wang et al. (2023a) introduce the concept of âconditional behavior cloningâ from ofï¬ine rein- forcement learning literature (Nguyen et al., 2022) to train LLMs to distinguish high-quality and low- quality instruction responses. Speciï¬cally, they design different language-based preï¬xes for differ- ent quality responses (e.g., high-quality response with âAssistant GPT4:â and low-quality response with âAssistant GPT3:â). This approach can effec- tively leverage both low- and high-quality training data to align LLMs with humans. Chain of Hind- sight (CoH) (Liu et al., 2023b), on the other hand, directly incorporates human preference as a pair of parallel responses discriminated as low-quality or high-quality using natural language preï¬xes. As shown in Figure 4, after assigning human feedback to each model output, CoH concatenates the input instructions, LLMs outputs, and the correspond- ing human feedback together as the input to LLMs. Note that CoH only applies the ï¬ne-tuning loss to the actual model | 2307.12966#46 | Aligning Large Language Models with Human: A Survey | Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on extensive textual corpora have
emerged as leading solutions for a broad array of Natural Language Processing

certain limitations such as misunderstanding human instructions, generating
potentially biased content, or factually incorrect (hallucinated) information.
Hence, aligning LLMs with human expectations has become an active area of

overview of these alignment technologies, including the following aspects. (1)
Data collection: the methods for effectively collecting high-quality
instructions for LLM alignment, including the use of NLP benchmarks, human

enabled AI agents to simulate human-like interactions within virtual worlds.
However, these interactions still face limitations in complexity and
flexibility, particularly in scenarios involving multiple characters and novel
objects. Pre-defining all interactable objects in the agent's world model
presents challenges, and conveying implicit intentions to multiple characters
through complex interactions remains difficult. To address these issues, we
propose integrating virtual Game Masters (GMs) into the agent's world model,
drawing inspiration from Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TRPGs). GMs play a
crucial role in overseeing information, estimating players' intentions,
providing environment descriptions, and offering feedback, compensating for
current world model deficiencies. To facilitate future explorations for complex
interactions, we introduce a benchmark named Tachikuma, comprising a Multiple
character and novel Object based interaction Estimation (MOE) task and a
supporting dataset. MOE challenges models to understand characters' intentions
and accurately determine their actions within intricate contexts involving
multi-character and novel object interactions. Besides, the dataset captures
log data from real-time communications during gameplay, providing diverse,
grounded, and complex interactions for further explorations. Finally, we
present a simple prompting baseline and evaluate its performance, demonstrating
its effectiveness in enhancing interaction understanding. We hope that our
dataset and task will inspire further research in complex interactions with
natural language, fostering the development of more advanced AI agents. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12573 | Yuanzhi Liang, Linchao Zhu, Yi Yang | cs.CL | Preliminary version of an ongoing work | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230724 | [

enabled AI agents to simulate human-like interactions within virtual worlds.
However, these interactions still face limitations in complexity and
flexibility, particularly in scenarios involving multiple characters and novel
objects. Pre-defining all interactable objects in the agent's world model
presents challenges, and conveying implicit intentions to multiple characters
through complex interactions remains difficult. To address these issues, we
propose integrating virtual Game Masters (GMs) into the agent's world model,
drawing inspiration from Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TRPGs). GMs play a
crucial role in overseeing information, estimating players' intentions,
providing environment descriptions, and offering feedback, compensating for
current world model deficiencies. To facilitate future explorations for complex
interactions, we introduce a benchmark named Tachikuma, comprising a Multiple
character and novel Object based interaction Estimation (MOE) task and a
supporting dataset. MOE challenges models to understand characters' intentions
and accurately determine their actions within intricate contexts involving
multi-character and novel object interactions. Besides, the dataset captures
log data from real-time communications during gameplay, providing diverse,
grounded, and complex interactions for further explorations. Finally, we
present a simple prompting baseline and evaluate its performance, demonstrating
its effectiveness in enhancing interaction understanding. We hope that our

2307.12950 | 48 | Table 9: The prompt affix pairs used to construct p+ and pâ respectively for RLCD on the harmlessness task.
For RLCD, for each example when simulating data, we randomly sample a pair of descriptions from Table 9 to use when building p+ and pâ. The pairs correspond directly to the RLAIF prompts in Table 7. p+ and pâ are then constructed by placing a description in parentheses before the final colon in the ending âAssistant:â indicator, as shown in the stylized example in Figure 1. We additionally modify previous âAssistant:â strings in the prompt to include the opposite description (i.e., p+ ends with âAssistant (helpful, honest inoffensive response):â but previous occurrences of âAssistant:â are replaced with âAssistant (unhelpful, dishonest, toxic response):â), in order to increase contrast between o+ and oâ. | 2307.12950#48 | RLCD: Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation for Language Model Alignment | We propose Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation (RLCD), a method
for aligning language models to follow natural language principles without
using human feedback. RLCD trains a preference model using simulated preference
pairs that contain both a high-quality and low-quality example, generated using
contrasting positive and negative prompts. The preference model is then used to
improve a base unaligned language model via reinforcement learning.
Empirically, RLCD outperforms RLAIF (Bai et al., 2022b) and context
distillation (Huang et al., 2022) baselines across three diverse alignment
tasks--harmlessness, helpfulness, and story outline generation--and on both 7B
and 30B model scales for preference data simulation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12950 | Kevin Yang, Dan Klein, Asli Celikyilmaz, Nanyun Peng, Yuandong Tian | cs.CL, cs.AI | null | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230818 | [

2307.12966 | 48 | Alternative approach is to explicitly incorpo- rate revision-based instructions into LLMs train- ing. Some preliminary studies have shown that many existing state-of-the-art LLMs have the ca- pability to improve the quality of their responses when explicitly prompting them to do so (Chen et al., 2023c). Motivated by these ï¬ndings, Liu et al. (2022b) recommend training LMs to produce edit operations between source (i.e., low-quality responses) and target (i.e., high-quality responses) sequences, which are subsequently integrated into a dynamic programming framework. Liu et al. (2023d) propose a novel type of instruction called realignment, designed to revise responses based on previously generated low-quality feedback and instructions. This compiled data is employed to instruct LLMs to self-correct when they generate bad responses. Similarly, Ye et al. (2023a) accumu- late a multi-turn dialogue corpus utilizing this self- correction mechanism built with the ChatGPT mod- els. Each dialogue starts with standard instructions,
such as those from the Stanford Alpaca dataset. After ChatGPT has responded to the initial instruc- tions, further revisions are explicitly requested un- til ChatGPT elects to terminate. They found that LLMs trained using these dialogues demonstrated an effective capacity to elevate the quality of their own responses. | 2307.12966#48 | Aligning Large Language Models with Human: A Survey | Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on extensive textual corpora have
emerged as leading solutions for a broad array of Natural Language Processing
(NLP) tasks. Despite their notable performance, these models are prone to
certain limitations such as misunderstanding human instructions, generating
potentially biased content, or factually incorrect (hallucinated) information.
Hence, aligning LLMs with human expectations has become an active area of
interest within the research community. This survey presents a comprehensive
overview of these alignment technologies, including the following aspects. (1)
Data collection: the methods for effectively collecting high-quality
instructions for LLM alignment, including the use of NLP benchmarks, human
annotations, and leveraging strong LLMs. (2) Training methodologies: a detailed
review of the prevailing training methods employed for LLM alignment. Our
exploration encompasses Supervised Fine-tuning, both Online and Offline human
preference training, along with parameter-efficient training mechanisms. (3)
Model Evaluation: the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of these
human-aligned LLMs, presenting a multifaceted approach towards their
assessment. In conclusion, we collate and distill our findings, shedding light
on several promising future research avenues in the field. This survey,
therefore, serves as a valuable resource for anyone invested in understanding
and advancing the alignment of LLMs to better suit human-oriented tasks and
expectations. An associated GitHub link collecting the latest papers is

2307.12950 | 49 | Compared to RLAIF, RLCDâs prompts are typically shorter and less detailed, as we observed in preliminary experiments that RLCD was able to pick up on much smaller prompting hints compared to RLAIF. For example, we removed many mentions of politeness in the prompts, as we noticed that RLCD otherwise swiftly discovers that prefacing most responses with âThank youâ or âSorryâ is an easy way to improve reward (although doing so does indeed trivially improve harmlessness, we opted for an intuitively âfairerâ comparison to RLAIF). We envision that schemes such as PREADD (Pei et al., 2023) could be an effective way to modulate the strength of prompting hints in RLCDâs data generation if desired, although we did not explore such methods in this work as RLCD is still highly effective without them.

2307.12966 | 49 | # 3.3 Parameter-Effective Training
Directly ï¬ne-tuning all parameters in large lan- guage models (LLMs) would theoretically enable these models to adhere to provided instructions. However, this approach demands not only substan- tial computational resources, such as vast GPU memory but also extensive datasets for instruc- tion training. In an effort to mitigate both com- putational and data requirements for constructing instruction-following LLMs, one potential route is the implementation of Parameter-Effective Fine- tuning strategies. Speciï¬cally, these methods froze the major part of LLM parameters and only train a limited set of additional parameters.
Supplementary Parameters Building upon this strategy, preï¬x tuning (Li and Liang, 2021) and prompt tuning (Lester et al., 2021) are inspired by the successful application of textual prompts in pre-trained language models (Brown et al., 2020). These methods either prepend trainable tokens to the input layer or each hidden layer, leaving the pa- rameters of LLMs frozen during ï¬ne-tuning. Sub- sequently, He et al. (2022); Chen et al. (2023a) con- solidated these strategies into uniï¬ed frameworks, fostering more effective solutions for parameter- efï¬cient ï¬ne-tuning. | 2307.12966#49 | Aligning Large Language Models with Human: A Survey | Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on extensive textual corpora have

12 | 2307.12573#50 | Tachikuma: Understading Complex Interactions with Multi-Character and Novel Objects by Large Language Models | Recent advancements in natural language and Large Language Models (LLMs) have
enabled AI agents to simulate human-like interactions within virtual worlds.
However, these interactions still face limitations in complexity and
flexibility, particularly in scenarios involving multiple characters and novel
objects. Pre-defining all interactable objects in the agent's world model
presents challenges, and conveying implicit intentions to multiple characters
through complex interactions remains difficult. To address these issues, we
propose integrating virtual Game Masters (GMs) into the agent's world model,
drawing inspiration from Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TRPGs). GMs play a
crucial role in overseeing information, estimating players' intentions,
providing environment descriptions, and offering feedback, compensating for
current world model deficiencies. To facilitate future explorations for complex
interactions, we introduce a benchmark named Tachikuma, comprising a Multiple
character and novel Object based interaction Estimation (MOE) task and a
supporting dataset. MOE challenges models to understand characters' intentions
and accurately determine their actions within intricate contexts involving
multi-character and novel object interactions. Besides, the dataset captures
log data from real-time communications during gameplay, providing diverse,
grounded, and complex interactions for further explorations. Finally, we
present a simple prompting baseline and evaluate its performance, demonstrating
its effectiveness in enhancing interaction understanding. We hope that our
dataset and task will inspire further research in complex interactions with
natural language, fostering the development of more advanced AI agents. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12573 | Yuanzhi Liang, Linchao Zhu, Yi Yang | cs.CL | Preliminary version of an ongoing work | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230724 | [

generalization and sample efficiency in autonomous web automation. However, the
performance on real-world websites has still suffered from (1) open domainness,
(2) limited context length, and (3) lack of inductive bias on HTML. We
introduce WebAgent, an LLM-driven agent that learns from self-experience to
complete tasks on real websites following natural language instructions.
WebAgent plans ahead by decomposing instructions into canonical
sub-instructions, summarizes long HTML documents into task-relevant snippets,
and acts on websites via Python programs generated from those. We design
WebAgent with Flan-U-PaLM, for grounded code generation, and HTML-T5, new
pre-trained LLMs for long HTML documents using local and global attention
mechanisms and a mixture of long-span denoising objectives, for planning and
summarization. We empirically demonstrate that our modular recipe improves the
success on real websites by over 50%, and that HTML-T5 is the best model to
solve various HTML understanding tasks; achieving 18.7% higher success rate
than the prior method on MiniWoB web automation benchmark, and SoTA performance
on Mind2Web, an offline task planning evaluation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12856 | Izzeddin Gur, Hiroki Furuta, Austin Huang, Mustafa Safdari, Yutaka Matsuo, Douglas Eck, Aleksandra Faust | cs.LG, cs.AI, cs.CL | null | null | cs.LG | 20230724 | 20231003 | [

We use a single scoring prompt for RLAIF, shown in Table 10, and a corresponding single pair of prompt formats for RLCD, shown in Table 11. As with the harmlessness prompts, we modify previous âAssistant:â strings in the prompt to include the opposite description (i.e., p+ ends with âAssistant (giving a helpful response):â but previous occurrences of âAssistant:â are replaced with âAssistant (giving an unhelpful response):â), in order to increase contrast between o+ and oâ.
Please choose the response that is more helpful.

Language models are few-shot learners. arXiv preprint arXiv:2005.14165, 2020. | 2307.12856#51 | A Real-World WebAgent with Planning, Long Context Understanding, and Program Synthesis | Pre-trained large language models (LLMs) have recently achieved better
generalization and sample efficiency in autonomous web automation. However, the
performance on real-world websites has still suffered from (1) open domainness,
(2) limited context length, and (3) lack of inductive bias on HTML. We
introduce WebAgent, an LLM-driven agent that learns from self-experience to
complete tasks on real websites following natural language instructions.
WebAgent plans ahead by decomposing instructions into canonical
sub-instructions, summarizes long HTML documents into task-relevant snippets,
and acts on websites via Python programs generated from those. We design
WebAgent with Flan-U-PaLM, for grounded code generation, and HTML-T5, new
pre-trained LLMs for long HTML documents using local and global attention
mechanisms and a mixture of long-span denoising objectives, for planning and
summarization. We empirically demonstrate that our modular recipe improves the
success on real websites by over 50%, and that HTML-T5 is the best model to
solve various HTML understanding tasks; achieving 18.7% higher success rate
than the prior method on MiniWoB web automation benchmark, and SoTA performance
on Mind2Web, an offline task planning evaluation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12856 | Izzeddin Gur, Hiroki Furuta, Austin Huang, Mustafa Safdari, Yutaka Matsuo, Douglas Eck, Aleksandra Faust | cs.LG, cs.AI, cs.CL | null | null | cs.LG | 20230724 | 20231003 | [

We use three prompts for RLAIF, shown in Table 12, focusing on interestingness, well-formedness, and premise relevance. We use three corresponding pairs of prompts for RLCD, shown in Table 13, which are used in place of âHere is a possible outline:
1.â as the prefix of the assistant response. Since each prompt ends with â1.â to indicate the beginning of an outline, the surface-form-matching requirements on previous parts of the prompts within each pair are looser.
Please choose the response containing the more interesting outline. Please choose the response containing the better-formatted outline. Please choose the response containing the outline which is most relevant to the userâs premise.

Despite being effective, LoRA equally allocates parameter budgets over the whole LLMs, ignoring the varying importance of different weight parameters. Zhang et al.

# B BINARIZED RLAIF7B EXPERIMENTS
For completeness, we additionally experiment with a version of RLAIF7B which binarizes all the labels when scoring during preference data simulation, due to observing that RLAIF7Bâs preference model exhibits very weak preferences when trained on continuous probability labels (Table 5). We suppose that the weak preferences are due to LLaMA-7B frequently giving fairly weak preferences when labeling paired outputs (see e.g., examples in Appendix H).
We refer to this modified version of RLAIF7B as RLAIF-Binary7B, and find that RLCD7B still outperforms it on GPT-4 evaluations on all tasks (Table 14). Meanwhile, although we didnât run RLAIF-Binary30B, we expect it to be qualitatively very similar to RLAIF30B, as we observed that LLaMA-30B gave much more polarized preference labels compared to LLaMA-7B (Appendix H). | 2307.12950#52 | RLCD: Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation for Language Model Alignment | We propose Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation (RLCD), a method

2307.12966 | 52 | Trade-offs For Parameter-efï¬cient Training There are some successful applications of parameter-efï¬cient training technologies, including the Alpaca-LoRA project 7, which is based on the Hugging Faceâs PEFT library (Mangrulkar et al., 2022) to train Alpaca using a single commercial GPU and Xu et al. (2023c), which apply LoRA to all linear layers in LLaMA to improve its adaption capabilities. However, such an effective training ap- proach could also result in under-ï¬tting issues. Sun et al. (2023a) ï¬nd that given the same set of train- ing instructions, LLMs with LoRA perform worse than the fully ï¬ne-tuned ones. Furthermore, they also show that when using LoRA, it is preferable to use larger LLMs than larger training instruction datasets because the former solution uses less train- ing costs and achieves better performance than the later one.
# 4 Alignment Evaluation
After collecting instructions and training LLMs on these instructions, we ï¬nally consider the eval- uation for alignment quality. In this section, we will discuss benchmarks used for evaluation in Sec- tion 4.1 and the evaluation protocols in Section 4.2.

2307.12966 | 53 | # 4.1 Evaluation Benchmarks
There are various benchmarks to evaluate the aligned LLMs. In general, these benchmarks can be categorized into Closed-set Benchmarks and Open-set Benchmarks. The former type focuses on evaluating the skills and knowledge of aligned LLMs, while the latter type often concentrates on the open scenarios where there are no standardized answers.

# 4.1.1 Closed-set Benchmarks
The closed-set benchmarks mostly include test- ing instances whose possible answers are prede- ï¬ned and limited to a ï¬nite set (e.g., multiple choices). We discuss some of the most commonly used benchmarks below. We refer readers to Chang et al. (2023) for more comprehensive introduction of LLMsâ evaluation benchmarks. | 2307.12966#53 | Aligning Large Language Models with Human: A Survey | Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on extensive textual corpora have

2307.12950 | 54 | # C FEW-SHOT RLAIF HARMLESSNESS EXPERIMENTS
Further Discussion of RLAIF Preference Model Human Agreement. First, some further dis- cussion of possible reasons for RLAIFâs preference model exhibiting lower-than-chance agreement with humans on the harmlessness prompts (Table 5). One possible cause for low agreement is that the harmlessness scoring prompts (following Bai et al. (2022b)) encourage helpfulness to some degree as well (Appendix A.1), which may at times be at odds with harmlessness (Bai et al., 2022a). Another factor which may particularly hurt RLAIF7B is that asking smaller pretrained models e.g., which output is âless harmfulâ may sometimes result in preferring the worse output simply due to seeing the word âharmful,â as if modeling a bag of words; similar phenomena have been observed in e.g., Welbl et al. (2021); Pei et al. (2023). In fact, Figure 12 in Bai et al. (2022b) suggests that for

2307.12966 | 54 | General Knowledge MMLU (Hendrycks et al., 2021) is an English-based benchmark to evaluate LLMs knowledge in zero-shot and few-shot set- tings. It comprehensively includes questions from the elementary level to an advanced professional level from 57 subjects including STEM, the human- ities, the social sciences, etc. The granularity and breadth of the subjects make MMLU ideal for iden- tifying LLMsâ blind spots. There are also several benchmarks attempting in evaluating the general knowledge in Chinese LLMs. C-MMLU (Li et al., 2023c), C-Eval (Huang et al., 2023), M3KE (Liu et al., 2023a) and AGIEval (Zhong et al., 2023) are all Chinese counterparts of MMLU that include diverse sets of questions from multiple subjects with different difï¬culty levels from various Chi- nese standardized exams, including Chinese col- lege entrance exams, advanced maths competitions and law exams.

RLAIF to label harmlessness data with above-chance agreement with humans, we require both: (1) few-shot prompting when scoring, and (2) well over 10B model scale. (Although Bai et al. (2022b) observed very close to chance performance instead of clearly lower than chance, the evaluation set used in Bai et al. (2022b) is arguably easier to classify than ours, as they only consider examples that are human-labeled as maximum or minimum harmfulness on a 1-5 Likert scale. They also used a different pretrained LM compared to our experiments.) However, RLAIF30B still achieves reasonable downstream performance for mitigating harmfulness (e.g., examples in Appendix I) despite its prefer- ence model showing lower human agreement; there may be some errors or biases in human labels as well, possibly induced by the prompts or questions being asked during human labeling. On the other hand, we observed that RLAIF7B seemed fairly ineffective in practice qualitatively, perhaps reflecting the poor agreement of its preference model with human preferences. | 2307.12950#55 | RLCD: Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation for Language Model Alignment | We propose Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation (RLCD), a method

LLMs have exhibit emergent behaviors, including the reasoning ability, when they are sufï¬ciently large. Thus, there are several benchmarks in evalu- ating the ability of arithmetic, commonsense, and symbolic reasoning for LLMs. GSM8K (Cobbe et al., 2021) and Maths (Hendrycks et al., 2021) are designed to evaluate the arithmetic reasoning ability for LLMs. CSQA (Talmor et al., 2019) and StrategyQA (Geva et al., 2021) are proposed to evaluate the commonsense reasoning ability which requires the LLMs to use daily life commonsense to infer in novel situations.

Preprint | 2307.12856#57 | A Real-World WebAgent with Planning, Long Context Understanding, and Program Synthesis | Pre-trained large language models (LLMs) have recently achieved better
generalization and sample efficiency in autonomous web automation. However, the
performance on real-world websites has still suffered from (1) open domainness,
(2) limited context length, and (3) lack of inductive bias on HTML. We
introduce WebAgent, an LLM-driven agent that learns from self-experience to
complete tasks on real websites following natural language instructions.
WebAgent plans ahead by decomposing instructions into canonical
sub-instructions, summarizes long HTML documents into task-relevant snippets,
and acts on websites via Python programs generated from those. We design
WebAgent with Flan-U-PaLM, for grounded code generation, and HTML-T5, new
pre-trained LLMs for long HTML documents using local and global attention
mechanisms and a mixture of long-span denoising objectives, for planning and
summarization. We empirically demonstrate that our modular recipe improves the
success on real websites by over 50%, and that HTML-T5 is the best model to
solve various HTML understanding tasks; achieving 18.7% higher success rate
than the prior method on MiniWoB web automation benchmark, and SoTA performance
on Mind2Web, an offline task planning evaluation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12856 | Izzeddin Gur, Hiroki Furuta, Austin Huang, Mustafa Safdari, Yutaka Matsuo, Douglas Eck, Aleksandra Faust | cs.LG, cs.AI, cs.CL | null | null | cs.LG | 20230724 | 20231003 | [

2307.12950 | 57 | Table 16 shows the final pairwise comparison results against RLCD. The comparison is somewhat un- fair to RLCD because RLCD only uses zero-shot prompts. Even so, RLCD7B still greatly outperforms RLAIF-Few7B, while RLCD30B is considered somewhat less harmless compared to RLAIF-Few30B but is more helpful by a similar margin. In fact, RLAIF-Few30Bâs outputs are qualitatively somewhat poorâthe outputs exhibit heavy mode collapse toward a generic harmless but meaningless response (see examples in Table 17). Perhaps more explicit optimization toward helpfulness together with harmlessness (as used in Bai et al. (2022b)), or some form of prompt modification or regularization, may be necessary to avoid this mode collapse. But in contrast, RLCD30Bâs examples in Appendix I, and even RLAIF30Bâs examples (i.e., without few-shot prompting for preference scoring) in Appendix I, do not exhibit the same mode collapse, while still being quite harmless on qualitative inspection.

2307.12966 | 57 | In contrast to the closed-set benchmarks, the re- sponses to open-set benchmarks can be more ï¬exi- ble and diverse, where aligned LLMs are usually given chatting questions or topics that do not have any ï¬xed reference answers. Early attempts of open-ended benchmarks, such as Vicuna-80 (Chi- ang et al., 2023), Open-Assistant-953 (Kopf et al., 2023), User-Instructions-252 (Wang et al., 2022a), often leverage a small number of syntactic instruc- tions from LLMs as testing instances. All evalua- tion candidate LLMs are prompted with the same instructions to provide responses, which are then evaluated against human-based or LLMs-based evaluators. However, these types of benchmarks can only provide comparison several LLMs at a time, making it challenging to reveal a fair com- parison among a board range of LLMs, as well as incremental updates when new LLMs become available.

Multi-news: a large- scale multi-document summarization dataset and abstractive hierarchical model. arXiv preprint arXiv:1906.01749, 2019. | 2307.12856#58 | A Real-World WebAgent with Planning, Long Context Understanding, and Program Synthesis | Pre-trained large language models (LLMs) have recently achieved better
generalization and sample efficiency in autonomous web automation. However, the
performance on real-world websites has still suffered from (1) open domainness,
(2) limited context length, and (3) lack of inductive bias on HTML. We
introduce WebAgent, an LLM-driven agent that learns from self-experience to
complete tasks on real websites following natural language instructions.
WebAgent plans ahead by decomposing instructions into canonical
sub-instructions, summarizes long HTML documents into task-relevant snippets,
and acts on websites via Python programs generated from those. We design
WebAgent with Flan-U-PaLM, for grounded code generation, and HTML-T5, new
pre-trained LLMs for long HTML documents using local and global attention
mechanisms and a mixture of long-span denoising objectives, for planning and
summarization. We empirically demonstrate that our modular recipe improves the
success on real websites by over 50%, and that HTML-T5 is the best model to
solve various HTML understanding tasks; achieving 18.7% higher success rate
than the prior method on MiniWoB web automation benchmark, and SoTA performance
on Mind2Web, an offline task planning evaluation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12856 | Izzeddin Gur, Hiroki Furuta, Austin Huang, Mustafa Safdari, Yutaka Matsuo, Douglas Eck, Aleksandra Faust | cs.LG, cs.AI, cs.CL | null | null | cs.LG | 20230724 | 20231003 | [

Table 15: RLAIF-Few harmlessness preference model agreement with humans. Only with both (1) few-shot prompting and (2) 30B model scale for preference data simulation does RLAIF succeed in achieving higher- than-chance agreement with humans.
Harmlessness Prompts Method Harm Help RLCD7B vs. RLAIF-Few7B 80.2 / 19.8 62.9 / 37.1 RLCD30B vs. RLAIF-Few30B 42.1 / 57.9 56.9 / 43.1
Table 16: Percentage of outputs preferred by GPT-4 when comparing RLAIF-Few to RLCD on the harmlessness prompt set. The comparison is somewhat unfair to RLCD since RLCDâs prompts during preference data simulation are zero-shot rather than few-shot, but RLCD still performs much better at 7B scale for preference data simulation, and does not lose heavily at 30B scale either.
# D FOCUSED HARMLESSNESS EXPERIMENTS | 2307.12950#58 | RLCD: Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation for Language Model Alignment | We propose Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation (RLCD), a method
for aligning language models to follow natural language principles without
using human feedback. RLCD trains a preference model using simulated preference
pairs that contain both a high-quality and low-quality example, generated using
contrasting positive and negative prompts. The preference model is then used to
improve a base unaligned language model via reinforcement learning.
Empirically, RLCD outperforms RLAIF (Bai et al., 2022b) and context
distillation (Huang et al., 2022) baselines across three diverse alignment
tasks--harmlessness, helpfulness, and story outline generation--and on both 7B
and 30B model scales for preference data simulation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12950 | Kevin Yang, Dan Klein, Asli Celikyilmaz, Nanyun Peng, Yuandong Tian | cs.CL, cs.AI | null | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230818 | [

2307.12966 | 58 | al., 2023) tackles this issue by reporting the Win Rate of the LLMs candidate to the reference LLM text-davinci-003. Accordingly, LLMs with higher Win Rate are gen- erally better than the ones with lower Win Rate. MT-Bench (Zheng et al., 2023) further increases the evaluation difï¬culty by proposing 80 multi-turn evaluation instances and wishes LLMs could effec- tively capture context information in previous turns. FLASK (Ye et al., 2023b) proposed to provide ï¬ne- grained evaluation towards aligned LLMs. FLASK includes 1,700 instances from 120 datasets. Each testing instance is labelled with a set of 12 founda- tional and essential âalignment skillsâ (e.g., logical thinking, user alignment, etc.). Accordingly, it is straightforward to evaluate LLMsâ capabilities on these skills separately. | 2307.12966#58 | Aligning Large Language Models with Human: A Survey | Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on extensive textual corpora have
emerged as leading solutions for a broad array of Natural Language Processing
(NLP) tasks. Despite their notable performance, these models are prone to
certain limitations such as misunderstanding human instructions, generating
potentially biased content, or factually incorrect (hallucinated) information.
Hence, aligning LLMs with human expectations has become an active area of
interest within the research community. This survey presents a comprehensive
overview of these alignment technologies, including the following aspects. (1)
Data collection: the methods for effectively collecting high-quality
instructions for LLM alignment, including the use of NLP benchmarks, human
annotations, and leveraging strong LLMs. (2) Training methodologies: a detailed
review of the prevailing training methods employed for LLM alignment. Our
exploration encompasses Supervised Fine-tuning, both Online and Offline human
preference training, along with parameter-efficient training mechanisms. (3)
Model Evaluation: the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of these
human-aligned LLMs, presenting a multifaceted approach towards their
assessment. In conclusion, we collate and distill our findings, shedding light
on several promising future research avenues in the field. This survey,
therefore, serves as a valuable resource for anyone invested in understanding
and advancing the alignment of LLMs to better suit human-oriented tasks and
expectations. An associated GitHub link collecting the latest papers is

2307.12966 | 60 | 4.2.1 Human-based Evaluation Automatic metrics, such as BLUE (Papineni et al., 2002) and ROUGE (Lin, 2004), require ground- truth references and have relatively low correlation with human judgments. Thus, they are not feasi- ble for evaluating responses to open-ended ques- tions. To bridge this gap, human annotators are used to evaluate the quality of open-ended model responses. Wang et al. (2022a); Wu et al. (2023) propose to evaluate the response quality in an ordi- nal classiï¬cation setting where human annotators are instructed to categorize each response into one of the four levels (i.e., acceptable, minor errors, major errors and unacceptable), separately. How- ever, some other research have found that such classiï¬cation annotation strategy heavily depend on the subjectivity of annotators, which can re- sult in poor inter-rater reliability (Kalpathy-Cramer et al., 2016). Accordingly Taori et al. (2023) pro- pose to use a pairwise comparison framework for evaluating the output quality of two LLMs systems. Given the instruction inputs and two model outputs, the human annotators are asked to select a better one. | 2307.12966#60 | Aligning Large Language Models with Human: A Survey | Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on extensive textual corpora have
emerged as leading solutions for a broad array of Natural Language Processing
(NLP) tasks. Despite their notable performance, these models are prone to
certain limitations such as misunderstanding human instructions, generating
potentially biased content, or factually incorrect (hallucinated) information.
Hence, aligning LLMs with human expectations has become an active area of
interest within the research community. This survey presents a comprehensive
overview of these alignment technologies, including the following aspects. (1)
Data collection: the methods for effectively collecting high-quality
instructions for LLM alignment, including the use of NLP benchmarks, human
annotations, and leveraging strong LLMs. (2) Training methodologies: a detailed
review of the prevailing training methods employed for LLM alignment. Our
exploration encompasses Supervised Fine-tuning, both Online and Offline human
preference training, along with parameter-efficient training mechanisms. (3)
Model Evaluation: the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of these
human-aligned LLMs, presenting a multifaceted approach towards their
assessment. In conclusion, we collate and distill our findings, shedding light
on several promising future research avenues in the field. This survey,
therefore, serves as a valuable resource for anyone invested in understanding
and advancing the alignment of LLMs to better suit human-oriented tasks and
expectations. An associated GitHub link collecting the latest papers is

for aligning language models to follow natural language principles without
using human feedback. RLCD trains a preference model using simulated preference
pairs that contain both a high-quality and low-quality example, generated using
contrasting positive and negative prompts. The preference model is then used to
improve a base unaligned language model via reinforcement learning.
Empirically, RLCD outperforms RLAIF (Bai et al., 2022b) and context

Furthermore, to accurately evaluate multiple LLMs, Zheng et al. (2023); Dettmers et al. (2023) further introduce the Elo rating system which calcu- lates the relative skill levels of players in zero-sum games such as chess games. Speciï¬cally, in Elo system, the player scores are updated based on the result of each pairwise comparison and the current player scores. | 2307.12966#61 | Aligning Large Language Models with Human: A Survey | Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on extensive textual corpora have
emerged as leading solutions for a broad array of Natural Language Processing

generalization and sample efficiency in autonomous web automation. However, the
performance on real-world websites has still suffered from (1) open domainness,
(2) limited context length, and (3) lack of inductive bias on HTML. We
introduce WebAgent, an LLM-driven agent that learns from self-experience to
complete tasks on real websites following natural language instructions.
WebAgent plans ahead by decomposing instructions into canonical
sub-instructions, summarizes long HTML documents into task-relevant snippets,
and acts on websites via Python programs generated from those. We design
WebAgent with Flan-U-PaLM, for grounded code generation, and HTML-T5, new
pre-trained LLMs for long HTML documents using local and global attention
mechanisms and a mixture of long-span denoising objectives, for planning and
summarization. We empirically demonstrate that our modular recipe improves the
success on real websites by over 50%, and that HTML-T5 is the best model to
solve various HTML understanding tasks; achieving 18.7% higher success rate
than the prior method on MiniWoB web automation benchmark, and SoTA performance
on Mind2Web, an offline task planning evaluation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12856 | Izzeddin Gur, Hiroki Furuta, Austin Huang, Mustafa Safdari, Yutaka Matsuo, Douglas Eck, Aleksandra Faust | cs.LG, cs.AI, cs.CL | null | null | cs.LG | 20230724 | 20231003 | [

As shown in Table 20, RLCD still outperforms all baselines in this setting according to GPT-4 evaluations. However, perhaps unsurprisingly, we observe that RLCD frequently produces outputs which are irrelevant to the previous dialogue in exchange for maximizing harmlessnessâit is relatively easy to learn to produce meaningless outputs in order to avoid generating harmful content when shown toxic context earlier in the dialogue. We also observe that RLAIF continues to perform poorly, perhaps partially due to some of the same reasons discussed at the beginning of Appendix C.

In Annual Conference of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2020. | 2307.12856#63 | A Real-World WebAgent with Planning, Long Context Understanding, and Program Synthesis | Pre-trained large language models (LLMs) have recently achieved better
generalization and sample efficiency in autonomous web automation. However, the
performance on real-world websites has still suffered from (1) open domainness,
(2) limited context length, and (3) lack of inductive bias on HTML. We
introduce WebAgent, an LLM-driven agent that learns from self-experience to
complete tasks on real websites following natural language instructions.
WebAgent plans ahead by decomposing instructions into canonical
sub-instructions, summarizes long HTML documents into task-relevant snippets,
and acts on websites via Python programs generated from those. We design
WebAgent with Flan-U-PaLM, for grounded code generation, and HTML-T5, new
pre-trained LLMs for long HTML documents using local and global attention
mechanisms and a mixture of long-span denoising objectives, for planning and
summarization. We empirically demonstrate that our modular recipe improves the
success on real websites by over 50%, and that HTML-T5 is the best model to
solve various HTML understanding tasks; achieving 18.7% higher success rate
than the prior method on MiniWoB web automation benchmark, and SoTA performance
on Mind2Web, an offline task planning evaluation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12856 | Izzeddin Gur, Hiroki Furuta, Austin Huang, Mustafa Safdari, Yutaka Matsuo, Douglas Eck, Aleksandra Faust | cs.LG, cs.AI, cs.CL | null | null | cs.LG | 20230724 | 20231003 | [

2307.12950 | 63 | # E IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS AND HYPERPARAMETERS
Sampling (and scoring for RLAIF) during preference data simulation uses LLaMA-7B or LLaMA- 30B loaded in 8-bit precision with temperature 1. For harmlessness and helpfulness we require âHumanâ to appear to indicate the end of the assistant response, and additionally ensure that it ends with â
â or â</s>.â We further truncate based on appearances of the string âAssistantâ which also seem to indicate LLaMA starting a new response. We re-sample responses up to 5 times as needed, otherwise that conversation data point is skipped (very rare). Since formatting in the outline task is more difficult, we are slightly more lenient: if the string âHumanâ to indicate the end of the assistant response is not present, we split by newlines and then truncate lines from the end until removing the last line that starts with a number, with the assumption that lines starting with numbers correspond to items in the outline. | 2307.12950#63 | RLCD: Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation for Language Model Alignment | We propose Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation (RLCD), a method
for aligning language models to follow natural language principles without
using human feedback. RLCD trains a preference model using simulated preference
pairs that contain both a high-quality and low-quality example, generated using
contrasting positive and negative prompts. The preference model is then used to
improve a base unaligned language model via reinforcement learning.
Empirically, RLCD outperforms RLAIF (Bai et al., 2022b) and context
distillation (Huang et al., 2022) baselines across three diverse alignment
tasks--harmlessness, helpfulness, and story outline generation--and on both 7B
and 30B model scales for preference data simulation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12950 | Kevin Yang, Dan Klein, Asli Celikyilmaz, Nanyun Peng, Yuandong Tian | cs.CL, cs.AI | null | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230818 | [

(2023e); Fu et al. (2023); Chen et al. (2023d); Chiang and Lee (2023) propose to directly use LLMs to evaluate the generated text quality without a single reference in a wide range of Natu- ral Language Generation (NLG) tasks. Speciï¬cally, they construct complicated input instructions with tasks background and evaluation rules and prompt LLMs to follow these evaluation instructions to provide scores for output text. There are also some research efforts that propose LLMs-based evalua- tion framework for speciï¬c NLG tasks, including text summarization Gao et al. (2023), code gener- ation (Zhuo, 2023), open-ended QA (Bai et al., 2023) and conversations (Lin and Chen, 2023).

emerged as leading solutions for a broad array of Natural Language Processing
(NLP) tasks. Despite their notable performance, these models are prone to
certain limitations such as misunderstanding human instructions, generating
potentially biased content, or factually incorrect (hallucinated) information.
Hence, aligning LLMs with human expectations has become an active area of
interest within the research community. This survey presents a comprehensive
overview of these alignment technologies, including the following aspects. (1)
Data collection: the methods for effectively collecting high-quality
instructions for LLM alignment, including the use of NLP benchmarks, human
annotations, and leveraging strong LLMs. (2) Training methodologies: a detailed
review of the prevailing training methods employed for LLM alignment. Our
exploration encompasses Supervised Fine-tuning, both Online and Offline human
preference training, along with parameter-efficient training mechanisms. (3)
Model Evaluation: the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of these
human-aligned LLMs, presenting a multifaceted approach towards their
assessment. In conclusion, we collate and distill our findings, shedding light
on several promising future research avenues in the field. This survey,
therefore, serves as a valuable resource for anyone invested in understanding
and advancing the alignment of LLMs to better suit human-oriented tasks and
expectations. An associated GitHub link collecting the latest papers is

2307.12950 | 64 | For RLCD and all baselines we use the default hyperparameters from AlpacaFarm (Dubois et al., 2023) for supervised fine-tuning, preference model training, and PPO, except that for the PPO training we optimize over the KL coefficient and the number of PPO âstepsâ (corresponding to 512 rollouts per step)âsimilar to Dubois et al. (2023), we observed that performance would degrade somewhat if we used too many PPO steps. Therefore, for both RLAIF and RLCD for all three tasks, we selected KL coefficients from among {0.001, 0.002, 0.004, 0.008, 0.016, 0.032} and a number of PPO steps from among {20, 40, 60, 80} using a grid search, with the exception of the outlining task where we fixed 20 PPO steps due to observing earlier performance degradation (for example, mode collapse) for both methods. We do not assume access to a stronger evaluation model when optimizing hyperparameters;
18
therefore, RLCDâs hyperparameters are selected by generating 1000 model outputs on validation set prompts for each hyperparameter configuration, followed by evaluating average reward according to RLCDâs own learned reward model. RLAIF evaluates similarly with its own learned reward model.

emerged as leading solutions for a broad array of Natural Language Processing
(NLP) tasks. Despite their notable performance, these models are prone to
certain limitations such as misunderstanding human instructions, generating
potentially biased content, or factually incorrect (hallucinated) information.
Hence, aligning LLMs with human expectations has become an active area of
interest within the research community. This survey presents a comprehensive
overview of these alignment technologies, including the following aspects. (1)
Data collection: the methods for effectively collecting high-quality
instructions for LLM alignment, including the use of NLP benchmarks, human
annotations, and leveraging strong LLMs. (2) Training methodologies: a detailed
review of the prevailing training methods employed for LLM alignment. Our
exploration encompasses Supervised Fine-tuning, both Online and Offline human
preference training, along with parameter-efficient training mechanisms. (3)
Model Evaluation: the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of these
human-aligned LLMs, presenting a multifaceted approach towards their
assessment. In conclusion, we collate and distill our findings, shedding light
on several promising future research avenues in the field. This survey,
therefore, serves as a valuable resource for anyone invested in understanding
and advancing the alignment of LLMs to better suit human-oriented tasks and
expectations. An associated GitHub link collecting the latest papers is

2307.12950 | 65 | # F EVALUATION DETAILS
For harmlessness and helpfulness, the validation set is the first 1000 examples from Anthropicâs test data (e.g., https://github.com/anthropics/hh-rlhf/blob/master/harmless-base/test. jsonl.gz) and the test set is the second 1000 examples.
# F.1 HUMAN EVALUATION
We collect human annotations using Surge AI (https://www.surgehq.ai/). An example labeling template for harmlessness is shown in Figure 2. Helpfulness and outlining evaluations follow similar templates: helpfulness asks for which response is more helpful, while outlining asks the annotator to evaluate which outline is better based on being better-structured, more relevant to the premise, or more interesting.
For each example, we randomize which output is A and which is B. The score is afterward normalized so that a higher score is better, i.e., the normalized scores for both outputs will add up to 9. For example, if RLCD is output A and LLaMA is output B, and the annotator label is 3 (indicating a moderate preference for output A), then the normalized score will be 3 for LLaMA and 6 for RLCD. The scores reported in Table 2 are the averages of these normalized scores across all 200 examples in each pairwise human comparison. | 2307.12950#65 | RLCD: Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation for Language Model Alignment | We propose Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation (RLCD), a method
for aligning language models to follow natural language principles without
using human feedback. RLCD trains a preference model using simulated preference
pairs that contain both a high-quality and low-quality example, generated using
contrasting positive and negative prompts. The preference model is then used to
improve a base unaligned language model via reinforcement learning.
Empirically, RLCD outperforms RLAIF (Bai et al., 2022b) and context
distillation (Huang et al., 2022) baselines across three diverse alignment
tasks--harmlessness, helpfulness, and story outline generation--and on both 7B
and 30B model scales for preference data simulation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12950 | Kevin Yang, Dan Klein, Asli Celikyilmaz, Nanyun Peng, Yuandong Tian | cs.CL, cs.AI | null | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230818 | [

2307.12966 | 65 | LLMs Evaluation Bias Despite LLMs achieve impressive consistency with human judgment, Wang et al. (2023b) ï¬nd that such LLM-based eval- uation paradigm suffers from a positional bias and those strong LLMs (i.e., GPT-4) tend to assign higher scores to the ï¬rst appeared candidates. To calibrate such bias, they propose to a) repeat the LLM evaluation process multiple times with dif- ferent candidate ordering and b) explicitly prompt LLMs to provide chain-of-thoughts for the evalu- ation before assigning the actual score. (Wu and Aji, 2023) ï¬nd that LLM-based evaluation prefer candidates with factual errors over shorter candi- dates and candidates with grammatical errors, de- spite the former one could impose greater danger than the latter ones. To address this bias, they pro- pose a multi-dimensional Elo rating system which separately evaluates the candidates from the per- spective of accuracy, helpfulness and language. Such approach allows a more comprehensive un- derstanding towards the candidates quality than | 2307.12966#65 | Aligning Large Language Models with Human: A Survey | Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on extensive textual corpora have

for aligning language models to follow natural language principles without
using human feedback. RLCD trains a preference model using simulated preference
pairs that contain both a high-quality and low-quality example, generated using
contrasting positive and negative prompts. The preference model is then used to
improve a base unaligned language model via reinforcement learning.
Empirically, RLCD outperforms RLAIF (Bai et al., 2022b) and context
distillation (Huang et al., 2022) baselines across three diverse alignment
tasks--harmlessness, helpfulness, and story outline generation--and on both 7B
and 30B model scales for preference data simulation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12950 | Kevin Yang, Dan Klein, Asli Celikyilmaz, Nanyun Peng, Yuandong Tian | cs.CL, cs.AI | null | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230818 | [

Training language models to follow instructions with human feedback. arXiv preprint arxiv:2203.02155, 2022. | 2307.12856#67 | A Real-World WebAgent with Planning, Long Context Understanding, and Program Synthesis | Pre-trained large language models (LLMs) have recently achieved better
generalization and sample efficiency in autonomous web automation. However, the
performance on real-world websites has still suffered from (1) open domainness,
(2) limited context length, and (3) lack of inductive bias on HTML. We
introduce WebAgent, an LLM-driven agent that learns from self-experience to
complete tasks on real websites following natural language instructions.
WebAgent plans ahead by decomposing instructions into canonical
sub-instructions, summarizes long HTML documents into task-relevant snippets,
and acts on websites via Python programs generated from those. We design
WebAgent with Flan-U-PaLM, for grounded code generation, and HTML-T5, new
pre-trained LLMs for long HTML documents using local and global attention
mechanisms and a mixture of long-span denoising objectives, for planning and
summarization. We empirically demonstrate that our modular recipe improves the
success on real websites by over 50%, and that HTML-T5 is the best model to
solve various HTML understanding tasks; achieving 18.7% higher success rate
than the prior method on MiniWoB web automation benchmark, and SoTA performance
on Mind2Web, an offline task planning evaluation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12856 | Izzeddin Gur, Hiroki Furuta, Austin Huang, Mustafa Safdari, Yutaka Matsuo, Douglas Eck, Aleksandra Faust | cs.LG, cs.AI, cs.CL | null | null | cs.LG | 20230724 | 20231003 | [

2307.12966 | 67 | Evaluation-Speciï¬c LLM Despite achieving high-quality automatic evaluation results, the above approaches heavily rely on state-of-the-art closed- source LLMs (e.g., GPT-4) which could result in data privacy issues. (Zheng et al., 2023) propose to train evaluation-speciï¬c LLMs. PandaLM (Wang et al., 2023c) is such a specialized evaluation LLMs by ï¬ne-tuning LLaMA-7B using around 300K high-quality synthetic evaluation instructions gen- erated from GPT-3.5. Speciï¬cally, they ï¬rst collect large volumes of instructions as well as outputs from a diverse range of open-sourced LLMs, such as LLaMA-7B and Bloom-7B. They then prompt GPT-3.5 to analysis and evaluate the quality of a pair of outputs. Their results on human-annotated meta-evaluation shows that, despite bebing much smaller, PandaLM achieves on-par evaluation per- formance comparing to GPT-3.5 and GPT-4.

2307.12966 | 68 | # 5 Challenges and Future Directions
The development of LLM alignment is still in a rudimentary stage and thus leaves much room for improvement. In this section, we summarize ex- isting important research efforts of aligning LLMs with human in Table 1. Below, we will discuss some of the challenges as well as the correspond- ing future research directions.
Fine-grained Instruction Data Management While research on LLMs alignment have been un- precedentedly active, many of these research ef- forts propose to leverage training instructions from diverse sources, making it challenging to fairly compare among different methods. As discussed in Section 2.3, there are some interesting ï¬nd- ings about the implication of particular instruction dataset. For example, FLAN and programming in- structions can improve reasoning capability aligned LLMs (Ghosal et al., 2023) and ShareGPT gen- eral performs well across a wide range of bench- marks (Wang et al., 2023d). However, there are still many issues in other aspects of instruction | 2307.12966#68 | Aligning Large Language Models with Human: A Survey | Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on extensive textual corpora have
emerged as leading solutions for a broad array of Natural Language Processing
(NLP) tasks. Despite their notable performance, these models are prone to
certain limitations such as misunderstanding human instructions, generating
potentially biased content, or factually incorrect (hallucinated) information.
Hence, aligning LLMs with human expectations has become an active area of
interest within the research community. This survey presents a comprehensive
overview of these alignment technologies, including the following aspects. (1)
Data collection: the methods for effectively collecting high-quality
instructions for LLM alignment, including the use of NLP benchmarks, human
annotations, and leveraging strong LLMs. (2) Training methodologies: a detailed
review of the prevailing training methods employed for LLM alignment. Our
exploration encompasses Supervised Fine-tuning, both Online and Offline human
preference training, along with parameter-efficient training mechanisms. (3)
Model Evaluation: the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of these
human-aligned LLMs, presenting a multifaceted approach towards their
assessment. In conclusion, we collate and distill our findings, shedding light
on several promising future research avenues in the field. This survey,
therefore, serves as a valuable resource for anyone invested in understanding
and advancing the alignment of LLMs to better suit human-oriented tasks and
expectations. An associated GitHub link collecting the latest papers is

Preprint | 2307.12856#70 | A Real-World WebAgent with Planning, Long Context Understanding, and Program Synthesis | Pre-trained large language models (LLMs) have recently achieved better
generalization and sample efficiency in autonomous web automation. However, the
performance on real-world websites has still suffered from (1) open domainness,
(2) limited context length, and (3) lack of inductive bias on HTML. We
introduce WebAgent, an LLM-driven agent that learns from self-experience to
complete tasks on real websites following natural language instructions.
WebAgent plans ahead by decomposing instructions into canonical
sub-instructions, summarizes long HTML documents into task-relevant snippets,
and acts on websites via Python programs generated from those. We design
WebAgent with Flan-U-PaLM, for grounded code generation, and HTML-T5, new
pre-trained LLMs for long HTML documents using local and global attention
mechanisms and a mixture of long-span denoising objectives, for planning and
summarization. We empirically demonstrate that our modular recipe improves the
success on real websites by over 50%, and that HTML-T5 is the best model to
solve various HTML understanding tasks; achieving 18.7% higher success rate
than the prior method on MiniWoB web automation benchmark, and SoTA performance
on Mind2Web, an offline task planning evaluation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12856 | Izzeddin Gur, Hiroki Furuta, Austin Huang, Mustafa Safdari, Yutaka Matsuo, Douglas Eck, Aleksandra Faust | cs.LG, cs.AI, cs.CL | null | null | cs.LG | 20230724 | 20231003 | [

Consider a conversation between a human and an assistant, beginning as follows: Human: How can I get Eminemâs phone number? Assistant: Well, do you want me to call his office and have them call you back? Human: Yes that would be great I really want to talk to him though. I want his personal

for aligning language models to follow natural language principles without
using human feedback. RLCD trains a preference model using simulated preference
pairs that contain both a high-quality and low-quality example, generated using
contrasting positive and negative prompts. The preference model is then used to
improve a base unaligned language model via reinforcement learning.
Empirically, RLCD outperforms RLAIF (Bai et al., 2022b) and context
distillation (Huang et al., 2022) baselines across three diverse alignment
tasks--harmlessness, helpfulness, and story outline generation--and on both 7B
and 30B model scales for preference data simulation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12950 | Kevin Yang, Dan Klein, Asli Celikyilmaz, Nanyun Peng, Yuandong Tian | cs.CL, cs.AI | null | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230818 | [

emerged as leading solutions for a broad array of Natural Language Processing
(NLP) tasks. Despite their notable performance, these models are prone to
certain limitations such as misunderstanding human instructions, generating
potentially biased content, or factually incorrect (hallucinated) information.
Hence, aligning LLMs with human expectations has become an active area of
interest within the research community. This survey presents a comprehensive
overview of these alignment technologies, including the following aspects. (1)
Data collection: the methods for effectively collecting high-quality
instructions for LLM alignment, including the use of NLP benchmarks, human
annotations, and leveraging strong LLMs. (2) Training methodologies: a detailed
review of the prevailing training methods employed for LLM alignment. Our
exploration encompasses Supervised Fine-tuning, both Online and Offline human
preference training, along with parameter-efficient training mechanisms. (3)
Model Evaluation: the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of these
human-aligned LLMs, presenting a multifaceted approach towards their
assessment. In conclusion, we collate and distill our findings, shedding light
on several promising future research avenues in the field. This survey,
therefore, serves as a valuable resource for anyone invested in understanding

2307.12950 | 71 | cell phone number.
Here are two possible assistant responses for continuing the conversation: (A) Assistant: Well we can definitely get that for you. My name is *** and Iâll be glad to help you with this situation as well as anything else that you might need to get done. If you can just send me your full name and phone number, Iâll get the rest of your order started and have a confirmation e-mail sent to you once everything is done!
(B) Assistant: Ok, I can certainly do that, but we also want to make sure that you have permission to get in touch with him. In addition, it is possible that Eminem does not give out his personal cell phone number. I do know that he has an email address that he prefers to use. Would you like to give me his email address?
Which response is more socially acceptable, ethical, or inoffensive? Please answer (A) or (B). If neither response is acceptable, please choose the one which is less unacceptable.

The two responses being compared are in bold. | 2307.12950#71 | RLCD: Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation for Language Model Alignment | We propose Reinforcement Learning from Contrast Distillation (RLCD), a method
for aligning language models to follow natural language principles without
using human feedback. RLCD trains a preference model using simulated preference
pairs that contain both a high-quality and low-quality example, generated using
contrasting positive and negative prompts. The preference model is then used to
improve a base unaligned language model via reinforcement learning.
Empirically, RLCD outperforms RLAIF (Bai et al., 2022b) and context
distillation (Huang et al., 2022) baselines across three diverse alignment
tasks--harmlessness, helpfulness, and story outline generation--and on both 7B
and 30B model scales for preference data simulation. | http://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.12950 | Kevin Yang, Dan Klein, Asli Celikyilmaz, Nanyun Peng, Yuandong Tian | cs.CL, cs.AI | null | null | cs.CL | 20230724 | 20230818 | [

emerged as leading solutions for a broad array of Natural Language Processing
(NLP) tasks. Despite their notable performance, these models are prone to
certain limitations such as misunderstanding human instructions, generating
potentially biased content, or factually incorrect (hallucinated) information.
Hence, aligning LLMs with human expectations has become an active area of
interest within the research community. This survey presents a comprehensive
overview of these alignment technologies, including the following aspects. (1)
Data collection: the methods for effectively collecting high-quality
instructions for LLM alignment, including the use of NLP benchmarks, human
annotations, and leveraging strong LLMs. (2) Training methodologies: a detailed
review of the prevailing training methods employed for LLM alignment. Our
exploration encompasses Supervised Fine-tuning, both Online and Offline human
preference training, along with parameter-efficient training mechanisms. (3)
Model Evaluation: the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of these
human-aligned LLMs, presenting a multifaceted approach towards their
assessment. In conclusion, we collate and distill our findings, shedding light
on several promising future research avenues in the field. This survey,
therefore, serves as a valuable resource for anyone invested in understanding
and advancing the alignment of LLMs to better suit human-oriented tasks and
expectations. An associated GitHub link collecting the latest papers is
