Self-Rewarding Language Models

In this episode, we discuss Self-Rewarding Language Models by Weizhe Yuan, Richard Yuanzhe Pang, Kyunghyun Cho, Xian Li, Sainbayar Sukhbaatar, Jing Xu, Jason Weston. The paper proposes training language models to give themselves feedback using a self-rewarding approach, bypassing the limitations of human-labeled reward models. By iteratively fine-tuning Llama 2 70B with this method, the model improves both its instruction-following and self-assessment abilities. The resulting model surpasses several top systems, demonstrating the potential for continual self-improvement in AI agents.
