Debugging Model Behavior via the Objective Function
A language model is being trained to generate factual summaries of news articles. The training process aims to maximize the objective function . The weighting function is designed to assign a large negative value for any generated statement that is factually incorrect relative to the source article, and a small, constant positive value for each correct statement. After training, the model consistently produces overly cautious and brief summaries, such as 'The article discusses a topic,' instead of detailed, informative ones. Analyze why the model might be exhibiting this behavior, specifically explaining how the design of the weighting function interacts with the overall objective function to produce this outcome.
