Trains reward models for RLHF pipelines using preference datasets and sequence classification heads.
This skill provides a specialized framework for developing reward models essential for Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) workflows like PPO, GRPO, and RLOO. It guides developers through the process of preparing preference datasets, configuring the RewardTrainer from the TRL library, and implementing LoRA for memory-efficient sequence classification. A standout feature is its focus on scoring 'thinking quality,' allowing users to train models that evaluate the internal reasoning steps of LLMs, ensuring more stable and higher-quality reinforcement learning outcomes in Jupyter environments.
