用生成式熵引导机制,让大模型在少量标注下自动对齐人类偏好。
GEM: Generative Entropy-Guided Preference Modeling for Few-shot Alignment of LLMs
- 基于思维链和熵理论筛选高价值推理路径,构建闭环认知优化框架。
- 在数学与医疗对话任务中,仅需少量样本即实现显著性能提升。
- 适合专业领域如医学、法律等标注稀缺场景的模型对齐应用。
大语言模型与人类偏好的对齐通常依赖大量标注的奖励模型或外部评判,但在医学、法律等专业领域,此类标注难以获取。本文提出一种生成式熵引导偏好建模方法GEM,用于低资源、领域特定场景下的模型对齐。不同于训练判别式奖励模型,GEM直接训练大模型内化一个闭合环路优化架构,以提取并利用人类偏好中隐含的多维细粒度认知信号。其认知过滤模块基于决策熵理论,通过思维链(CoT)提示生成多样候选推理链,并引入词元评分机制对采样结果排序加权,增强高置信度答案及高熵词元的重要性。在此基础上,采用新颖的自评估群体优势算法SEGA,聚合群体级认知信号,将熵基分数转化为策略优化的隐式奖励。实验表明,该方法在通用基准及数学推理、医疗对话等专业任务上,仅用少量样本即可实现显著性能提升。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Alignment of large language models (LLMs) with human preferences typically relies on supervised reward models or external judges that demand abundant annotations. However, in fields that rely on professional knowledge, such as medicine and law, such large-scale preference labels are often unachievable. In this paper, we propose a generative entropy-guided preference modeling approach named GEM for LLMs aligment at low-resource and domain-specific scenarios. Instead of training a discriminative reward model on preference data, we directly train the LLM to internalize a closed-loop optimization architecture that can extract and exploit the multi-dimensional, fine-grained cognitive signals implicit in human preferences. Specifically, our Cognitive Filtering module, based on entropy theory in decision making, first leverages Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting to generate diverse candidate reasoning chains (CoTs) from preference data. Subsequently, it introduces a token scoring mechanism to rank and weight the sampled CoTs, boosting the importance of high-confidence answers and strategically high-entropy tokens. Building on these filtered preferences, we fine-tune the LLM using a novel self-evaluated group advantage algorithm, SEGA, which effectively aggregates group-level cognitive signals and transforms the entropy-based scores into implicit rewards for policy optimization. In these ways, GEM empowers the LLM to rely on its own judgments and establishes an entropy-guided closed-loop cognitive optimization framework, enabling highly efficient few-shot alignment of LLMs. Experiments on general benchmarks and domain-specific tasks (such as mathematical reasoning and medical dialogues) demonstrate that our GEM achieves significant improvements with few-shot preference data.
