Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) 訓練方法筆記

Last Updated on 2024-02-29 by Clay

介紹

DPODirect Preference Optimization, 直接偏好優化)是一種取代 RLHFReinforcement Learning from Human Feedback, 基於人類反饋的強化學習)的微調方式。眾所皆知,大型語言模型在經過非監督式學習後能夠學習到大量的知識與理解能力(有些研究者認為是『壓縮並保存』了知識在神經網路權重中);在監督式學習後學會了流暢地回應我們的問題,或者說是學會了『對話』的能力。

然而即便如此,開發人員依然難以控制 LLM 的生成行為,於是乎最後一個步驟 —— 與人類價值觀對齊alignment)就是必不可少。

在 ChatGPT 所提出來的 RLHF 方法中,我們需要額外引入一個需要被訓練好的獎勵模型reward model)給我們微調的 LLM 模型打分,並讓 LLM 依照獎勵模型給的回饋再次進行微調,與此同時還對模型添加了與原本監督式學習完的模型自身計算 KL 散度的限制,好讓模型不會偏移原先具備各種能力的自己。

這個方法不但繁瑣、難以控制,甚至還會花費大量的 GPU 記憶體。

所以 Stanford University 提出了一種新的訓練方法來進行對齊價值觀的微調 —— 那就是 DPO。同 RL 的目標相同,不過在 DPO 上把本來該最大化的獎勵函數轉換成最小化目標函數損失。

  • σ: sigmoid 函數,將輸入參數映射到 [0, 1] 區間
  • β: 損失函數的溫度超參數,用來約束 loss 的數值,看原始程式碼的話通常設定介於 0.1 到 0.5 之間
  • y_w: 偏好/獲勝(Win)的回覆
  • y_l: 不偏好/失敗(Loss)的回覆
  • π_θ(y_w | x): 在給定 x 的輸入下,當前正在微調的模型對於偏好回覆y_w)的 token 解碼累積機率(對於偏好回覆中的每個 token 機率值加總,是我們要最大化的項目)
  • π_ref(y_w | x): 在給定 x 的輸入下,原始模型對於偏好回覆y_w)的 token 解碼累積機率
  • π_θ(y_l | x): 在給定 x 的輸入下,當前正在微調的模型對於不偏好回覆y_l)的 token 解碼累積機率(對於不偏好回覆中的每個 token 機率值加總,是我們要最小化的項目)
  • π_ref(y_l | x): 在給定 x 的輸入下,原始模型對於不偏好回覆y_l)的 token 解碼累積機率

在 DPO 微調開始前,我們會初始化『兩個模型』,但一個模型會加上旁支的 LoRA 進行權重的微調、而另一個模型則會凍結所有參數不參與訓練。這個不參與訓練的原始模型僅僅用來計算損失函數的分母部份,就像是用來做正規化一般。

並且這個作法在透過 LoRA 微調 Adapter 時並不會花費多一倍的 GPU VRAM,因為在計算微調模型的 token 解碼機率時我們會多走 LoRA layer 的部份、但是在計算原始模型的 token 解碼機率時則不走 LoRA layer 的部份,所以本質上我們訓練時不會花費額外記憶體。

2023/12/27 更新最近在訓練時明確地觀察到了 modelref_model 都分別用了各自的記憶體而沒有共用,跟我原先的想法不同。很好奇為什麼沒辦法 base model 參數都凍結著,只訓練 LoRA Layer 的部份呢?

(2024/02/29 更新:由同事告知,目前該項目更新過後,已經能夠僅凍結 base model 參數,只訓練 Adapter 的部分了。)

從損失函數中,我們可以直觀地理解它想做的事情跟對比學習(contrastive learning)很相似,都是要把我們的輸出拉近正樣本、同時遠離負樣本。

以 DPO 的損失函數來看,就是我們要最大化左半邊、最小化右半邊。

以上是 HuggingFace 在 DPO Trainer 中關於其損失函數的實現。


DPO 訓練腳本

以下的腳本也同樣是由 HuggingFace 所提供的,就放在 trl 專案底下,路徑為 trl/examples/research_projects/stack_llama_2/scripts/dpo_llama2.py

我也是先從這份腳本開始透過 DPO 的方式微調我的 LLM 的。值得一提的是,腳本預設你已經先透過 SFT 微調過模型了,但如果你是拿已經做過 instruct tuning 的模型,那麼直接從 DPO 開始也沒有不可以。

    --output_dir="dpo"


開始訓練。過程中要調整任何項目都是依照個人需求。
