Value Function Loss Minimization in RLHF

PPO Objective Formula for LLM Training in RLHF

During the final training phase of a language model guided by human feedback, both a policy (the language model itself) and a value function are updated in tandem. Which of the following statements best analyzes the distinct roles and update mechanisms of these two components in this joint optimization process?

In the final stage of training a language model with feedback, a policy and a value function are optimized concurrently. Match each component to its primary optimization objective and its role in this process.

Value Function Loss in RLHF

An AI system is being trained to generate helpful multi-turn dialogues. A state-value function, which estimates the total future reward from the current point in the conversation, is updated using rewards from a separate reward model. The development team observes that the value function consistently assigns very low values to all conversational turns except the very last one, even when the intermediate turns are crucial for a successful outcome. This causes the AI to prematurely end conversations. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this specific issue?
