🏗️ 奖励模型基础架构¶
核心概念¶
奖励模型(Reward Model)是一个分类器，用于预测人类对不同回答的偏好，将人类的价值观编码成可优化的奖励信号。

Bradley-Terry模型原理¶
Bradley-Terry模型假设人类选择遵循以下概率分布：
\[P(y_1 \succ y_2 | x) = \frac{\exp(r(x, y_1))}{\exp(r(x, y_1)) + \exp(r(x, y_2))} = \sigma(r(x, y_1) - r(x, y_2))\]
其中： - \(y_1 \succ y_2\) 表示人类偏好 \(y_1\) 而非 \(y_2\) - \(r(x, y)\) 是奖励模型对输入 \(x\) 和回答 \(y\) 的奖励预测 - \(\sigma\) 是sigmoid函数
