REBEL: A Reinforcement Learning RL Algorithm that Reduces the Problem of RL to Solving a Sequence of Relative Reward Regression Problems on Iteratively Collected Datasets

Practical AI Solutions for Reinforcement Learning Reinforcement learning (RL) often faces challenges with complex implementation and sensitivity to heuristics, especially with widely used methods like Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO). However, with the introduction of REBEL, a simplified RL algorithm, there are strong theoretical guarantees for convergence and sample efficiency. REBEL offers a lightweight implementation and accommodates offline data, addressing common intransitive preferences. REBEL outperforms other models in terms of RM score and achieves a high win rate under GPT4, indicating its advantage in regressing relative rewards. It exhibits competitive performance compared to other methods, making it a practical choice for applications. In practical implementation, REBEL focuses on driving down training error on a least squares problem, making it straightforward to implement and scale. It aligns with strong guarantees for RL algorithms and demonstrates competitive or superior performance in language modeling and guided image generation tasks. For businesses, AI, particularly REBEL, can redefine work processes, identify automation opportunities, and implement AI usage judiciously for business impact.
