Researchers at Google Deepmind Introduce BOND: A Novel RLHF Method that Fine-Tunes the Policy via Online Distillation of the Best-of-N Sampling Distribution

Practical Solutions and Value of BOND: A Novel RLHF Method Enhancing Language Generation Quality BOND is an innovative algorithm that enhances the quality of language and learning models (LLMs) by efficiently balancing reward and computational cost. It uses Best-of-N Distillation (BOND) to replicate the performance of Best-of-N sampling without its high computational cost, aligning the policy’s output with the Best-of-N distribution using Jeffreys divergence. Efficient RLHF Algorithm BOND focuses on reducing computational demands during training, aligning with principles of iterated amplification. It efficiently achieves the benefits of Best-of-N sampling, reducing the computational overhead. Practical Implementation with Minimal Sample Complexity J-BOND, a practical implementation of the BOND algorithm, outperforms traditional RLHF methods, demonstrating effectiveness and better performance without needing a fixed regularization level. Improving KL-Reward Pareto Front BOND improves the KL-reward Pareto front and outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, demonstrating its effectiveness in experiments on abstractive summarization and Gemma models.
