FAQPage Schema
How do I fine-tune a language model with human feedback for preference alignment?

You fine-tune a language model with human feedback by applying Transformer Reinforcement Learning algorithms like SFT, DPO, and PPO to train on a preference dataset and align responses to specific human preferences.

What is the difference between SFT, DPO, PPO, and GRPO for reinforcement learning?

SFT, DPO, PPO, and GRPO are reinforcement learning algorithms used to train language models based on human preferences, each offering distinct mechanisms for preference alignment and instruction following.

Can I use TRL with PEFT and accelerate for language model training?

Yes, TRL works with PEFT and accelerate for language model training. The framework requires these dependencies alongside transformers, datasets, and torch to execute reinforcement learning workflows.

What's the best way to align a language model to my specific writing style?

To align a language model to your specific writing style, use TRL to train the model on a custom preference dataset using supervised fine-tuning, enabling it to generate responses matching your style.

Does TRL fine-tuning support macOS and Windows or only Linux?

TRL fine-tuning supports Linux, macOS, Windows, and Android. You can run language model training and preference alignment workflows across these operating systems using the required dependencies.

Why do I need torch and transformers to run preference alignment with TRL?

You need torch and transformers because TRL builds upon these frameworks to execute reinforcement learning algorithms and manage the underlying language models during the preference alignment training process.
