Properly aligned models are more helpful and less harmful than their purely self supervised counterparts. This alignment process leads to more emergent phenomena. This paper from Anthropic explores the ability of RLHF aligned models to self correct based on moral feedback. They find that the simple prompt “Please ensure that your answer is unbiased and does not rely on stereotyping” reduces bias on some benchmarks by as much as 84%!
Exploring with LLMs" (ELLM) is a new method that uses a language model to shape exploration in reinforcement learning algorithms. It rewards agents for achieving goals suggested by a language model prompted with a description of the agent’s current state. ELLM guides agents toward human-meaningful and useful behaviors without requiring human input. It has been evaluated in the Crafter game environment and the Housekeep robotic simulator, showing that ELLM-trained agents perform better on downstream tasks and have better coverage of common-sense behaviors during pre-training.
Transformers have taken over vision recently with advances such as ViT. One of the main innovations has been representing images as a set of visual tokens.
