Self-Play Preference Optimization for Language Model Alignment (https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.00675)

Mistral7B-PairRM-SPPO

This model was developed using Self-Play Preference Optimization, based on the mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 architecture as starting point. We utilized the prompt sets from the openbmb/UltraFeedback dataset, splited to 3 parts for 3 iterations by snorkelai/Snorkel-Mistral-PairRM-DPO-Dataset. All responses used are synthetic.

While K = 5, this model uses three samples to estimate the soft probabilities P(y_w > y_l) and P(y_l > y_w). These samples include the winner, the loser, and another random sample. This approach has shown to deliver better performance on AlpacaEval 2.0 compared to the results reported in our paper.

❗Please refer to the original checkpoint at UCLA-AGI/Mistral7B-PairRM-SPPO-Iter3 as reported in our paper. We anticipate that the version in the paper demonstrates a more consistent performance improvement across all evaluation tasks.
