PPO-M (PPO with Calibrated Reward Modeling) is an RLHF algorithm to mitigate verbalized overconfidence in RLHF-trained Large Language Models.
PPO-M calibrates the reward modeling process by augmenting the binary pairwise ranking dataset with explicit confidence scores, and encourages the
reward model to align confidence levels with response quality.

Taming Overconfidence in LLMs: Reward Calibration in RLHF) and
repo for more details.
