用AI自动生成医疗对话偏好数据,减少医生参与。
Exploring LLM-based Data Annotation Strategies for Medical Dialogue Preference Alignment
- 设计基于患者检查标准的评估框架,客观衡量LLM表现。
- 发现流程图最能准确表达医生偏好,提升标注质量。
- 提出自主生成对话流的智能代理,通用性强且降低专家依赖。
本研究探讨利用人工智能反馈的强化学习(RLAIF)技术改进医疗对话模型,旨在解决偏好对齐数据标注的挑战并减少对医学专家的依赖。当前医疗领域RLAIF研究的主要瓶颈在于自动化评估方法的局限性以及医生偏好难以精准表达。为此,我们提出一种基于标准化患者检查的评估框架,可客观评估大语言模型(LLMs)在引导用户和遵循指令方面的能力,实现不同模型间的全面比较。同时,我们通过研究宪法人工智能算法表达医生偏好的有效性,发现流程图形式最为有效。基于此发现,我们提出一种新型代理式标注方法,该方法能自主生成适配患者状况的医疗对话流程,具备强泛化能力,并显著减少专家介入。实验结果表明,该方法在标准化患者检查中优于现有RLAIF标注方法,并在多种测试场景下超越当前开源医疗对话大模型。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This research examines the use of Reinforcement Learning from AI Feedback (RLAIF) techniques to improve healthcare dialogue models, with the aim of tackling the challenges of preference-aligned data annotation while reducing the reliance on medical experts. We argue that the primary challenges in current RLAIF research for healthcare are the limitations of automated evaluation methods and the difficulties in accurately representing physician preferences. To address these challenges, we present a new evaluation framework based on standardized patient examinations. This framework is designed to objectively assess the effectiveness of large language models (LLMs) in guiding users and following instructions, enabling a comprehensive comparison across different models. Furthermore, our investigation of effective ways to express physician preferences using Constitutional AI algorithms highlighted the particular effectiveness of flowcharts. Utilizing this finding, we introduce an innovative agent-based approach for annotating preference data. This approach autonomously creates medical dialogue flows tailored to the patient's condition, demonstrates strong generalization abilities, and reduces the need for expert involvement. Our results show that the agent-based approach outperforms existing RLAIF annotation methods in standardized patient examinations and surpasses current open source medical dialogue LLMs in various test scenarios.
