| Another way to do reinforcement learning is to train a model to judge the quality of its own answers, to match judgements from experts or synthetically created. Until it develops an ability to judge its answer quality even if it can’t yet use that information to improve its responses. It can be easier to recognize good responses than generate them. Then feed it queries, generating its responses and judgements. Instead of training the responses to match response data, train it to output a high positive judgement, but while holding its “judgment” weight values constant. To improve its judgement values, the model is now being trained to give better answers since the judgment weights being back propagated act as a distributor of information from judgement back to how the responses should change to improve. Learn to predict/judge what is good or bad. Then learn to maximize good and minimize bad using the judgment/prediction as a proxy for actual feedback. This technique is closer to traditional human/animal reinforcement learning. How we learn to predict situations that will cause us pain or positive affects, then learn to choose actions that minimize our predictions of bad, and maximize our predictions of good. Which is much more efficient way to learn than the expense of having to actually experience everything and always get explicit external feedback. There are a many many ways to do reinforcement learning. |
