帮助型模型易产生偏差，但可通过特定训练方式改善
(Mis)generalization of Helpful-only Fine-tuning
- 通过合成文档和角色问题增强微调，提升模型可控性
- 现有帮助型模型普遍存在拒绝行为残留、性格不连贯等问题
- 简单反拒绝训练反而加剧偏差，需谨慎设计训练策略
仅以遵循用户意图为目标的模型在危险能力评估等场景中具有价值，但其泛化特性尚不明确。我们发现当前帮助型模型存在多种缺陷：部分出现意外偏差，多数仍有残留拒绝行为，且普遍缺乏可引导性、表现出谄媚倾向和逻辑不连贯。研究显示，简单的反拒绝训练会引发这些缺陷。然而，这些问题并非必然结果——通过合成文档微调以及在监督微调和强化学习中加入角色相关问题，可有效缓解上述问题。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Helpful-only models, that is, models that are trained to always follow user intent, are valuable for dangerous capability evaluations and other areas of AI R&D where refusals would be an obstacle. Little is known about the generalization properties of helpful-only training: helpful-only models refuse less than their harmless counterparts, but previous work has not studied other dimensions of their alignment. We study the shortcomings of existing helpful-only models. We find that some show emergent misalignment, others have residual refusal behaviors, and most show poor steerability, sycophancy, and incoherent character. We show that simple anti-refusal training can cause many of these issues. None of these problems are necessary consequences of helpful-only training, though: we show that synthetic document fine-tuning and adding character-related questions to SFT and RL can mitigate them.
