The paper investigates the impact of text quality on reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) models optimized with direct preference optimization (DPO). The authors confirm that text quality significantly influences model performance, particularly for DPO-based RLHF. They propose an extension to DPO, filtered direct preference optimization (fDPO), which uses a trained reward model to monitor and discard low-quality texts during training. Experimental results show that fDPO enhances final model performance. This research has implications for the development of language models aligned with human preferences.

This paper looks at how well language models work when they’re trained on feedback from humans. They find out that the quality of the text used to train these models matters a lot, especially when using a method called direct preference optimization (DPO). The researchers then come up with a new way to improve this process, called filtered DPO, which gets rid of bad texts and keeps good ones. This makes the language models better at understanding what humans want.
