Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback

Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is a post-training process that addresses harmful or unhelpful responses from a pretrained base model. Human evaluators compare answers, their preferences train a reward model, and that reward guides further adjustment of the language model. RLHF contributed significantly to the natural, helpful conversational style of early ChatGPT. From a GEO perspective, practitioners suggest that clear, helpful and structured writing reflects the presentation patterns favored during alignment and may make content easier for AI systems to use and cite.
