The proposed approach of iterative preference learning can be extended to other domains beyond arithmetic and commonsense reasoning by adapting the framework to suit the specific requirements of the new domains. Here are some ways to extend the approach:
Task Formulation: Define the specific tasks and objectives in the new domains, such as open-ended language generation or task-oriented dialogue. Clearly outline the input prompts, desired outputs, and evaluation criteria for the iterative preference learning framework.
Data Preparation: Curate or generate datasets that are relevant to the new domains and align with the tasks at hand. Ensure that the data includes a diverse range of examples to facilitate policy learning and preference collection.
Model Architecture: Modify the model architecture to accommodate the requirements of the new domains. Consider using pre-trained language models or task-specific architectures that are tailored to open-ended language generation or task-oriented dialogue tasks.
Preference Collection: Develop strategies for collecting preferences in the new domains, considering the specific characteristics of the tasks. Utilize techniques like MCTS to generate diverse policy paths and collect step-level preferences for iterative learning.
Evaluation and Fine-Tuning: Establish evaluation metrics and fine-tuning procedures that are suitable for assessing performance in open-ended language generation or task-oriented dialogue. Continuously refine the model based on feedback and preferences to improve its reasoning capabilities.
Domain-Specific Challenges: Address domain-specific challenges such as context understanding, coherence, and relevance in the generated responses. Adapt the self-evaluation mechanism to capture the nuances of language generation or dialogue tasks effectively.
By customizing the iterative preference learning framework to the requirements of new domains and addressing domain-specific challenges, the approach can be successfully extended to tasks like open-ended language generation and task-oriented dialogue, enabling the model to reason and generate responses effectively in diverse contexts.
