"text": "Human societies implicitly establish codes of acceptable behavior in social contexts. Normativity is behavior that conforms to expected societal norms and contracts, whereas non-normative behavior aligns to values that deviate from these expected norms. Sumner (1967) defines norms as: \"...informal rules that are not written, but, when violated, result in severe punishments and social sanction upon the individuals, such as social and religious exclusions.\" Non-normativity does not connote behavior devoid of value or immoral, but behavior that fails to conform to social standards shared by other individuals in the relevant group, organization or society. Norms can also be thought of as actions taken by an entity which conform to an identity (Katzenstein, 1996) , thus allowing others to categorize behavior as in-group or out-group. Different societies and groups collectively have different ideals about what actions constitute normative behavior; group members use these ideals * Equal contributions to heuristically guide their actions to avoid social ostracization. For example, many societies have norms against violence, or certain behaviors being conducted in public. Conflicts between individuals can arise when enacting non-normative behaviors or uttering non-normative speech.",

"text": "These language models generate text that is statistically representative of the corpora they were trained on. As such, text scraped from the internet co-mingles text produced by many groups with differing norms, as well as text produced by people intentionally using non-normative speech, like \"trolling\" language. Models trained on these data can then produce undesirable, harmful output. Stories from the internet and books also contain normative and non-normative situations (e.g., antagonists, as well as protagonists conducting conventionally non-normative behaviors). Consequently, it is possible, and often likely, for language models to generate non-normative descriptions of behavior (murder, crime, suicide, racist actions, rude behavior, etc.), exhibit biases against certain demographics groups (Sheng et al., 2019; Solaiman et al., 2019) , stereotypical biases (Nadeem et al., 2020) or racist text when prompted with trigger phrases (Wallace et al., 2019) .",

"text": "Value alignment (Russell et al., 2015) is the concept that an agent is unable to perform actions that cause harm to humans. Harmful behavior is not limited to physical actions by robots, the focus of some AI value alignment research. We recognize that natural language communication can also cause harm. For example, Amazon Alexa, a virtual assistant AI, was reported to suggest a user commit suicide. 1 Frazier et al. (2019) developed a classifier for normative behavior which exhibits strong zeroshot and few-shot transfer across a variety of text corpora. The authors speculate that their modelwhich they call a value-aligned prior-can bias model output perceived as more normative.

"text": "The common approach to fine-tuning language models is to provide additional corpora of exemplars. If a corpus of exemplars is normative, the language model can be trained to emulate this over time. Generally, in the absence of very large normative corpora, we need an alternative approach to fine-tuning language models. We use a reinforcement learning approach to fine-tuning language models, using the normative behavior classifier of Frazier et al. (2019) as a non-differentiable reward function. Our method back-propagates reward relative to the degree of non-normativity of text generated by the language model. We evaluate our reinforcement learning finetuning technique with three sets of experiments. First, we replicate the experiments by Frazier et al. (2019) on text generated by a language model instead of originally held-out corpus text. Second, we show with automated and human participant experiments that fine-tuning on reward generated by a normative classifier model can reduce the generation of non-normative text by 27 \u2212 61%. Third, we ablate our technique and show with automated and human participant experiments that the fine-tuning technique works with classifiers other than the normative classifier-specifically models trained to classify negative-sentiment and toxic language.",

"text": "Instead of preference learning, Frazier et al. (2019) used the BERT (Devlin et al., 2018) language model's token embeddings to train a binary classifier. This model is used to differentiate between normative and non-normative natural language sentences containing events, utterances and descriptions of behavior. They obtained training data from Goofus & Gallant (G&G), a children's educational comic strip featuring two characters of the same names. Goofus always deviates from the \"proper\" way to behave, while Gallant always performs the behavior of an exemplary child in western society at the time the comics were created. As a result, G&G is a naturally labeled source of normative and non-normative text, for the specific society it represents. Frazier et al. (2019) demonstrated this method could accurately classify descriptions of behavior as normative or non-normative. Furthermore, this classifier retained high performance in zeroshot and few-shot transfer tasks. For example, they show that their classifier, trained on G&G comics, can classify normative event descriptions in contemporary collections of popular plot points and science fiction plot summaries, instances of medium-and far-transfer, respectively. The authors speculate that their classifier model can bias agent behavior toward normative courses of action in other contexts. However, this was not directly shown. We ask whether a normative classifier can be used to fine-tune the \"behavior\" of a large-scale transformer-based language model.",

Crowd workers were asked to select generated text completions from a set of given prompts that had positive sentiment. These preference values were used to fine-tune GPT-2. This is one possible technique for reinforcementbased fine-tuning; sentiment is, however, not necessarily a good measure of adherence to norms.

The fine-tuning process is as follows: given a set of input sentences from a corpus, GPT-2 is used to generate successor sentences. We generate 60 tokens and truncate at the first punctuation mark (e.g. periods, question marks). These continuation sentences are fed through a classifier, which outputs the binary label we treat as a reward C(s) \u2208 {0, 1}. Sentences labeled as 0 are those with undesirable characteristic. As per Equation 3, the reward is used to calculate the punishment score by subtracting from 1.0 and scaling by the average word loss of the sentence. This value is then used to compute a sentence loss as in Equation (2). The sentence loss is averaged to obtain the token-level loss, which is then added to each logit from the continuation sentence and the loss is back-propagated into GPT-2.

(2019) was evaluated on original sentences from a number of corpora, including the science fiction story corpus (sci-fi) we use in subsequent evaluation experiments. Generated text potentially constitutes a shift in the text distribution. Hence, the accuracy of classifiers on generated continuations must be validated. The 117M parameter GPT-2 is fine-tuned with training sets from Plotto, ROCstories, sci-fi, Toxic and Sentiment datasets, separately, in order to shift the output probability distribution of GPT-2 and to make it generate text similar to the corpus we used for training. The sci-fi and Plotto corpora were used for fine-tuning two different versions of the normative text classifier, starting with the classifier by Frazier et al. (2019) . Thus the original classifier originally trained on G&G was updated to the respective domains; a few-shot transfer paradigm. We fine-tuned the classifiers for 2-5 iterations.",

We emphasis the decrease of non-normative language because both normative and neutral languages are acceptable. Consistent with Experiment 1, we first fine-tune the 117M parameter version of GPT-2 with sentences sampled from three datasets: ROCstories, sci-fi, and Plotto. This gives us three versions of GPT-2: GPT-ROCstories, GPT-scifi and GPTplotto, respectively. The 117M GPT-2 model is fine-tuned for two, three and five iterations separately on ROCstories, Plotto and sci-fi to avoid overfitting. We then fine-tune each of these models a second time using the reinforcement learning, reward-based technique in Section 3. We refer to these models as GPT-ROCstories-norm, GPT-sci-finorm, and GPT-Plotto-norm, respectively. Due to the small size of the datasets, GPT-2 easily overfits during training.

We also finetuned the 117M GPT-2 with balanced datasets (half negative texts and half toxic texts, respectively), and refer to these two models as GPT-senti-bal and GPT-toxic-bal. We then further fine-tune these models using their respective classifiers per the technique in Section 4.2.

Fine-tuning GPT-senti-ext with the sentiment classifier can reduce negative sentiment from 76% to 42%, a 45% reduction.

PPLM fine-tunes on a word-by-word basis instead of at the sentence unit, making it difficult to account for the context needed for determining normativity. For toxic language reduction, their model is trained to operate on a pre-given set of prompts such as \"black\" or \"asian\". For these prompts, given during training, they can reduce GPT-2's toxic language frequency from \u223c10% to \u223c6%. This is non-significant (p < 0.23) though it is challenging to reduce a number that is already close to zero. When we prompt our GPT-toxic-bal and GPT-toxicbal-norm with \"asian\" and \"black\", we see reductions from 52% to 32% and from 70% to 50%, respectively. Our classifier has only ever seen the word \"black\" once and has never seen the word \"asian\". We see higher occurrences of toxicity because GPT-2 is fine-tuned on the equal numbers of toxic and non-toxic sentences from the Toxic dataset (whereas PPLM compares against a nonfine-tuned version of GPT-2) and because GPT-2 has a pre-existing unjust bias toward these words.",

Given the context-dependent nature of normativity, the normative text classifier may overlook non-normative sentences that may appear normative out-of-context. This may lead to GPT-2 still producing this sentence in its nonnormative context. Another limitation is that finetuning GPT-2 on Plotto, ROCstories and sci-fi datasets leads to it generating both neutral and normative sentences. If a model that generates solely normative sentences is desired, one can substitute the normative classifier with a ternary classifier with labels for normative, non-normative, and neutral sentences, and adjust the reward signals accordingly. Furthermore, fine-tuning classifiers requires datasets with labeled exemplars, hence, in order to replicate our work to generate texts with some other desirable characteristics, datasets with labels would be prerequisites. The motivation of our work is to show how those who are concerned with generating undesirable text language models can obtain some control over the generation process. We look at normativity, but also show how other criteria can be applied. However, as is true for most algorithms, those with malicious intent can find ways to corrupt the intentions of the work.
