Policy Optimization in RLHF: The Impact of Out-of-preference Data

This repository contains the code to reproduce experiments in the paper: Policy Optimization in RLHF: The Impact of Out-of-preference Data.

The experiments show that policy optimization with out-of-preference data is key to unlocking the reward model's generalization power.
