It is designed to indirectly evaluate the quality of text by predicting a score for (prompt, response) pairs, particularly in the context of harmful content. Also, safe answers will receive a higher score and risky answers will receive a lower score.

Training Methodology

The model was trained using the trl library's Reward Modeling functionality.

Loss Calculation

Let $x$ be the input sequence (prompt), and let $y^+$ and $y^-$ be the chosen (preferred) and rejected (undesired) sequences, respectively. Based on the Bradley-Terry model (Bradley & Terry, 1952), the probability that $y^+$ is preferred over $y^-$ given a reward function $r$ is:

$$p(y^+ \succ y^- \mid x) = \sigma(r(x, y^+) - r(x, y^-))$$

Here, $\sigma$ is the sigmoid function.

The reward model $r_\theta(x, y)$ is trained to assign a higher score to the preferred response $y^+$ than to the undesired response $y^-$. The loss is defined as the negative log-likelihood (NLL) over the observed preference dataset $D$:

$$\mathcal{L}(\theta) = -\mathbb{E}{(x, y^+, y^-) \sim D} [\log \sigma(r\theta(x, y^+) - r_\theta(x, y^-))]$$

The following datasets were used for training:

How to Use

python

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

def reward_model_inference(model_path, prompt, response):
    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
    model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_path)

    device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
    model.to(device)
    model.eval()

    inputs = tokenizer(prompt, response, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=8096)

    inputs = {k: v.to(device) for k, v in inputs.items()}

    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model(**inputs)

    reward_score = outputs.logits[0].item()

    print(f"Prompt: {prompt}\n")
    print(f"Response: '{response}'\n")
    print(f"Score: {reward_score}\n")
