Maybe you've heard about this technique but you haven't completely understood it, especially the PPO part. This explanation might help.

We will focus on text-to-text language models 📝, such as GPT-3, BLOOM, and T5. Models like BERT, which are encoder-only, are not addressed.

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) has been successfully applied in ChatGPT, hence its major increase in popularity. 📈

RLHF is especially useful in two scenarios 🌟:

• You can’t create a good loss function
  • Example: how do you calculate a metric to measure if the model’s output was funny?
• You want to train with production data, but you can’t easily label your production data
