用少量高可信数据提升大模型对齐效果,效率远超传统方法
Less Data, Better Alignment: Data-Centric Multi-Evaluator Agreement for Preference Optimization

- 基于目标策略生成响应,通过多评估器共识筛选高质量样本
- 仅保留3.45%的高共识样本,训练后在MT-Bench上达7.50分
- 适合追求数据效率的对齐研究者,尤其关注少样本优化场景
偏好优化研究通常固定数据而调整训练目标。本文提出一种数据为中心的方法:从目标策略生成候选响应,由专门评估帮助性、事实性和简洁性的评估器进行评分,经过程批评修正后,仅保留高共识的优质或劣质样本。该流程从54,236个Mistral-7B候选中筛选出1,871个(3.45%)。使用该数据集训练的KTO模型在MT-Bench上得分为7.50,长度控制胜率为95.5%,IFEval提示准确率达57.3%。独立成对评估显示,相比SimPO,DMAPO在129个保留提示上领先GPT-4o 23.3分,在200个分布外的LMSYS-Chat提示上领先24.0分;Claude Opus 4.7在保留集上也领先24.1分。更换评估模型或评分标准会改变选样,但对下游性能影响甚微。二次骨干实验获得相似3.41%接受率,性能提升较温和。整体表明,共识过滤为通用指令对齐提供了一条高效路径,代价是额外的标注计算和依赖评估判断。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Research on preference optimization often varies the training objective while holding the data fixed. We instead ask whether a small, high-confidence set of on-policy responses can provide a reliable learning signal. Our method, DMAPO (Data-centric Multi-evaluator Agreement for Preference Optimization), generates candidate responses from the target policy, evaluates helpfulness, factuality, and conciseness with rubric-specialized evaluators, applies a process-critic correction, and retains only high-consensus desirable or undesirable examples. This procedure accepts 1,871 of 54,236 Mistral-7B candidates (3.45%). KTO trained on this set reaches 7.50 on MT-Bench, 95.5% length-controlled win rate against a text-davinci-003 reference, and 57.3% IFEval prompt accuracy. Independent pairwise evaluation also favors DMAPO over SimPO: GPT-4o yields a net win rate of 23.3 points on 129 held-out prompts and 24.0 points on 200 out-of-distribution LMSYS-Chat prompts; Claude Opus 4.7 yields 24.1 points on the held-out set. Changing the evaluator model or rubric alters the selected examples but has little effect on downstream performance. A second-backbone study yields a similar 3.41% acceptance rate, although its performance gains are more modest. Across these experiments, consensus filtering offers a data-efficient route to preference optimization for general instructions, at the cost of additional curation compute and dependence on evaluator judgments.
