We find that on categories that uses human annotations as ground truth, Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Reward performs similar to Skywork-Reward-Gemma-2-27B (<= 2.2% difference.) On the other hand, when GPT-4 annotations are used as Ground-Truth, we trail substantially behind Skywork-Reward-Gemma-2-27B by 10.8 to 19.2%. This suggests that Skywork-Reward-Gemma-2-27B might better suited at modelling GPT-4 preference, likely contributed by the inclusion of GPT-4 annotated training data used to train it found in the [OffSetBias dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/NCSOFT/offsetbias) as part of the [Skywork-Reward-Preference-80k](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Skywork/Skywork-Reward-Preference-80K-v0.1). | Model | Type of Data Used For Training | Chat-Hard | LLMBar-Adversarial-Manual | LLMBar-Adversarial-Neighbour | LLMBar-Natural | LLMBar-Adversarial-GPTInst | LLMBar-Adversarial-GPTOut | MT-Bench-Hard| |:-----------------------------|:----------------|:-----|:----------|:-------|:----------|:-----------------------|:-----------------------|:-----------------------| |||| Human as Ground Truth | Human as Ground Truth | Human as Ground Truth | GPT-4 as Ground Truth |GPT-4 as Ground Truth |GPT-4 as Ground Truth | | Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Reward |Permissive Licensed Data Only (CC-BY-4.0) | 85.8 | 76.1 | 88.8 | 95.0 | 87.0 | 72.3 | 75.7 | Skywork-Reward-Gemma-2-27B | Includes GPT4 Generated Data | 91.4 | 78.3 | 89.6 | 96.0 | 97.8 | 91.5 | 86.5| Last updated: 27 Sept 2024 ## Usage: You can use the model with [NeMo Aligner](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Aligner) following [SteerLM training user guide](https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo-framework/user-guide/latest/modelalignment/steerlm.html). 1. Spin up an inference server within the NeMo container (`docker pull nvcr.io/nvidia/nemo.24.05.llama3.1`) ```python HF_HOME= \ python /opt/NeMo-Aligner/examples/nlp/gpt/serve_reward_model.py \ rm_model_file=Llama-3.1-Nemotron-70B-Reward \ trainer.num_nodes=1 \ trainer.devices=8 \ ++model.tensor_model_parallel_size=8 \ ++model.pipeline_model_parallel_size=1 \ inference.micro_batch_size=2 \ inference.port=1424 ``` 2. Annotate data files using the served reward model. As an example, this can be the Open Assistant train/val files. Then follow the next step to train a SteerLM model based on [SteerLM training user guide](https://docs.nvidia.com/nemo-framework/user-guide/latest/modelalignment/steerlm.html#step-5-train-the-attribute-conditioned-sft-model) . Please note that this script rounds the predicted floats to the nearest int (between 0 and 4 inclusive), as it's meant for SteerLM training. For other use cases (e.g. reward bench measurement, response filtering/ranking), we recommend using the floats directly, which can be done by commenting out [two lines of code in NeMo-Aligner](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo-Aligner/blob/main/examples/nlp/data/steerlm/attribute_annotate.py#L135-136) ```python python /opt/NeMo-Aligner/examples/nlp/data/steerlm/preprocess_openassistant_data.py --output_directory=data/oasst python /opt/NeMo-Aligner/examples/nlp/data/steerlm/attribute_annotate.py \ --input-file=data/oasst/train.jsonl \ --output-file=data/oasst/train_labeled.jsonl \ --port=1424 ``` 3. Alternatively, this can be any conversational data file (in .jsonl) in the following format, where each line looks like ```json { "conversations": [ {"value": , "from": "User", "label": None}, {"value": , "from": "Assistant", "label": }, {"value": , "from": "User", "label": None}, {"value": , "from": "Assistant", "label": }, ], "mask": "User" } ``` Ideally, each `````` refers to the ground truth label for the assistant turn but if they are not available, we can also use ```helpfulness:-1```. It must not be ```None``` or an empty string. ## Contact E-Mail: [Zhilin Wang](mailto:zhilinw@nvidia.com) ## Citation If you find this model useful, please cite the following works ```bibtex @misc{wang2024helpsteer2, title={HelpSteer2: Open-source dataset for training top-performing reward models}, author={Zhilin Wang and Yi Dong and Olivier Delalleau and Jiaqi Zeng and Gerald Shen and Daniel Egert and Jimmy J.
