The article discusses advancements in training models through Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF), emphasizing the benefits of offline contrastive training over traditional supervised fine-tuning (SFT). In particular, head-to-head experiments demonstrate that using the differences between positive and negative outputs during training yields more significant performance improvements. The authors present the Iterative Contrastive Self-Improvement algorithm and support their findings with experimental results that confirm the superior effectiveness of this approach compared to baseline models like Orca-2.5.
In our head-to-head experiments, we observe that offline contrastive training offers a more valuable training signal than traditional SFT methods, demonstrating its effectiveness in model performance.
Our analysis shows that the iterative contrastive self-improvement algorithm successfully enhances the training of the student model, yielding superior results compared to established baselines.
