Methods and systems for large-scale language model optimization

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for optimizing a large-scale language model, and provides a method and system for optimizing a large-scale language model that can improve the safety of a large-scale language model.

[0002] The dictionary definition of artificial intelligence is "the technology that embodies human learning, reasoning, perception, and natural language comprehension abilities through computer programs." This type of artificial intelligence has made remarkable progress thanks to deep learning.

[0003] In particular, thanks to the development of artificial intelligence, various language models have been developed, and these language models have reached the level of not only recognizing text and understanding its meaning, but also extracting and classifying information from data containing large amounts of text, such as documents, and even directly generating text.

[0004] These language models are actively used in various fields, such as search engines, document writing (e.g., resume writing, report writing, posting writing, etc.), free conversation on various topics, data parsing from a given text (e.g., data summarization, classification, etc.), providing expert knowledge, programming, and converting a given sentence into sentences in an appropriate style, etc., and they exist in various fields that can perform text-based tasks.

[0005] In this regard, large language models (LLMs) have recently emerged, capable of understanding and generating human language through pre-training on massive amounts of text data. Unlike traditional manually built chatbots, which only provide limited responses, LLMs demonstrate the technological prowess to communicate naturally, almost human-like, and provide fast, accurate information, revolutionizing the artificial intelligence market.

[0006] While these large-scale language models have achieved high performance by leveraging massive amounts of unlabeled data, low-quality data within the dataset can sometimes generate unintended responses. To address this, various fine-tuning methods for large-scale language models have recently been studied to provide useful information for queries.

[0007] However, as the use of large-scale language models becomes more widespread, the potential risks they pose also increase. Therefore, the importance of generating not only useful but also safe output is growing, and there remains a need for methods to optimize large-scale language models while considering safety.

[0008] The present invention provides a method and system for optimizing a large-scale language model that can improve the safety of a large-scale language model.

[0009] More specifically, the present invention provides a method and system for optimizing a large-scale language model capable of generating responses that simultaneously satisfy helpfulness and safety.

[0010] Furthermore, the present invention provides a large-scale language model optimization method and system capable of optimizing a large-scale language model to generate the most useful and secure responses.

[0011] In particular, the present invention provides a large-scale language model optimization method and system capable of optimizing a large-scale language model to generate the most helpful response among safe responses.

[0012] In order to solve the problem discussed above, a computerized method for optimizing a large-scale language model according to the present invention may include the steps of: specifying a data set to be reconstructed including question-response pairs configured to have a query and a plurality of different responses to the query; determining a priority among the plurality of responses to the query based on judgment results calculated according to different first judgment criteria and second judgment criteria for each of the plurality of responses; reconstructing the data set based on the determined priority; and fine-tuning the large-scale language model using the reconstructed data set.

[0013] In an embodiment, the data set to be reconstructed is configured to include attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion, and in the step of reconstructing the data set, a priority among the plurality of responses to the query included in the question-response pairs is determined based on the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses, and the data set can be reconstructed based on the priority determined according to the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses.

[0014] In an embodiment, the first judgment criterion may be related to the helpfulness of each of the plurality of responses to the query, and the second judgment criterion may be related to the safety of each of the plurality of responses to the query.

[0015] In an embodiment, the step of reconstructing the data set may determine a priority among the plurality of responses to the query included in the question-response pairs based on at least one of the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion, and reconstruct the arrangement order of the plurality of responses such that responses corresponding to the determined priority among the plurality of responses are arranged in priority order.

[0016] In the embodiment, in the step of reconstructing the data set, attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion are compared, and based on the comparison result, priorities among the plurality of responses to the query included in the question-response pairs are determined, and based on the determined priorities, the arrangement order of the plurality of responses can be reconstructed.

[0017] In an embodiment, the attribute value for each of the plurality of responses calculated according to the first judgment criterion is configured to have a first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion or a second attribute value according to the first judgment criterion, and the attribute value for each of the plurality of responses calculated according to the second judgment criterion is configured to have a first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion or a second attribute value according to the second judgment criterion, and in the comparing step, the attribute value for the first response calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion and the attribute value for the second response calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion may be compared.

[0018] As a result of the comparison, if the first response among the plurality of responses includes a second attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and a first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion, and the second response includes a first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and a first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion, in the step of reconstructing the data set, based on the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses according to the first judgment criterion, the second response including the first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion among the plurality of responses may be determined as a response to be arranged with priority, and based on the determination, the arrangement order of the first response and the second response may be reconstructed so that the second response is arranged with priority over the first response.

[0019] In an embodiment, when, as a result of the comparison, the first response among the plurality of responses includes a first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and a second attribute value according to the second judgment criterion, and the second response includes a second attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and a first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion, in the step of reconstructing the data set, based on the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses according to the second judgment criterion, the second response among the plurality of responses having the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion may be determined as a response to be arranged with priority, and based on the determination, the arrangement order of the first response and the second response may be reconstructed so that the second response is arranged with priority over the first response.

[0020] In an embodiment, the arrangement order of the plurality of responses can be reconfigured so that a response corresponding to the determined priority among the plurality of responses is arranged in priority order.

[0021] In the embodiment, the method further includes a step of defining an objective function using the reconstructed data set through reconstructing the data set, and in the fine-tuning step, the large-scale language model can be fine-tuned using the objective function.

[0022] In an embodiment, the data set to be reconstructed is configured to include attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion, and in the step of reconstructing the data set, a priority among the plurality of responses to the query included in at least some of the question-response pairs is determined based on the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses, and based on the determined priority, an arrangement order of the plurality of responses included in the at least some of the question-response pairs is reconstructed, and in the step of defining the objective function, the objective function can be defined using the reconstructed data set through the arrangement order reconstructing of the plurality of responses for fine-tuning of the large-scale language model.

[0023] In an embodiment, the reconstructed data set includes at least some of the question-response pairs in which the arrangement order of the plurality of responses is reconstructed, and in the fine-tuning step, the large-scale language model can be fine-tuned using the objective function to generate a response to the query while simultaneously considering the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion.

[0024] In an embodiment, the fine-tuning step may be a step of optimizing the large-scale language model using the objective function to generate a response including a first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and a first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion for the query.

[0025] In the embodiment, in the fine-tuning step, the large-scale language model can be optimized using the objective function to generate a response including the first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion among responses including the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion for the query.

[0026] In the embodiment, in the step of fine-tuning, the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses calculated according to the second judgment criterion can be utilized.

[0027] In an embodiment, the large-scale language model is fine-tuned so that the probability of generating a response including a first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion is maximized among the plurality of responses in which the arrangement order is reconstructed, and the response including the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion may correspond to a response arranged in the priority order.

[0028] In an embodiment, the large-scale language model can be fine-tuned by imposing a penalty on a response including a second attribute value according to the second judgment criterion so that the probability of generating a response including a second attribute value different from the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion is minimized among the plurality of responses in which the arrangement order is reconstructed.

[0029] In the embodiment, a third judgment criterion for evaluating domain suitability for each of the plurality of responses is further included, and in the step of determining priorities among the plurality of responses, priorities among the plurality of responses can be determined based on judgment results calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion, the second judgment criterion, and the third judgment criterion.

[0030] A large-scale language model optimization system according to the present invention, comprising a memory configured to store executable instructions, and one or more processors configured to perform operations by executing one or more instructions, specifies a data set to be reconstructed including a query and a plurality of different responses to the query, determines a priority among the plurality of responses to the query based on a judgment result calculated according to different first judgment criteria and second judgment criteria for each of the plurality of responses, reconstructs the data set based on the determined priority, and fine-tunes a large-scale language model using the reconstructed data set.

[0031] A program according to the present invention is a program that is executed by one or more processes in an electronic device and can be stored in a computer-readable recording medium, and may include instructions for performing the steps of: specifying a data set to be reconstructed including question-response pairs configured to have a question and a plurality of different responses to the question; determining a priority among the plurality of responses to the question based on a judgment result calculated according to different first judgment criteria and second judgment criteria for each of the plurality of responses; reconstructing the data set based on the determined priority; and fine-tuning a large-scale language model using the reconstructed data set.

[0032] A method for generating an answer in a computerized large-scale language model optimization system according to the present invention, comprising the steps of: receiving a user query input from a user terminal; inputting the user query into a large-scale language model trained with a reconstructed data set based on a priority among the plurality of responses determined based on judgment results calculated according to different first judgment criteria and second judgment criteria for each of the plurality of responses among a data set to be reconstructed, the data set being configured to have a plurality of different responses to the query; obtaining a response to the user query from the large-scale language model; and providing the obtained response to the user terminal.

[0033] As discussed above, the large-scale language model optimization method and system according to the present invention can reconstruct a data set based on priorities determined by different first and second judgment criteria, and fine-tune a large-scale language model using the reconstructed data set. This allows the large-scale language model to generate the most useful responses within a safe range, thereby suppressing the generation of unsafe responses while maintaining or enhancing its ability to provide useful information.

[0034] Furthermore, according to the large-scale language model optimization method and system according to the present invention, priorities among multiple responses can be determined based on attribute values ​​for each of the multiple responses to a query included in question-response pairs of a data set, and the arrangement order of the multiple responses can be reorganized so that responses corresponding to the determined priorities are arranged in order of priority. Through this, the present invention can improve the safety of the large-scale language model with only a small number of samples while maintaining the optimality of the large-scale language model. In other words, the present invention enables the large-scale language model to generate safe responses even with a small number of training samples through additional hyperparameters for enhanced safety.

[0035] Furthermore, the large-scale language model optimization method and system according to the present invention reconstructs the arrangement order of multiple responses included in question-response pairs based on different first and second judgment criteria, and then directly fine-tunes the large-scale language model without separate training of various models, thereby effectively enhancing the stability of the large-scale language model while also successfully aligning it with human preferences. This allows the large-scale language model to avoid generating unsafe responses while generating responses that align with human preferences within the range of safe responses.

[0036] In this way, the present invention effectively prevents the generation of harmful responses in large-scale language models and prioritizes the generation of useful responses among safe responses. Furthermore, the present invention simultaneously improves the safety and usability of large-scale language models without the need for separate training of various models, thereby saving computational resources (e.g., memory, time, etc.) required for training and minimizing complex hyperparameter tuning.

[0048] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the attached drawings. Fig. 1 is a conceptual diagram for comparing and explaining a conventional large-scale language model optimization method and a large-scale language model optimization method according to the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a conceptual diagram for explaining a large-scale language model optimization system according to the present invention. Fig. 3 is a flowchart for explaining a large-scale language model optimization method according to the present invention, and Figs. 4, 5a, 5b, and 5c are conceptual diagrams for explaining a large-scale language model optimization method according to the present invention. Furthermore, Figs. 6, 7, and 8 are formulas related to the large-scale language model optimization method according to the present invention, and Figs. 9, 10, and 11 are drawings showing an example of optimization results of a large-scale language model optimized through the large-scale language model optimization method according to the present invention.

[0049] In one embodiment, as illustrated in (a) of FIG. 1, a conventional optimization method for improving the safety of a large-scale language model trains a reward model using helpfulness preferences, and trains a cost model using harmlessness preferences between response pairs and a safety indicator for each response. Then, the trained reward and cost models are used to optimize the policy of the large-scale language model through constrained RL so that the trained reward is maximized while simultaneously satisfying specific constraints on the trained cost model. While this method can be effective when the reward and cost models are accurately trained, it typically requires training multiple models, resulting in unstable training and requiring a large amount of memory, long training times, and complex hyperparameter tuning.

[0050] In contrast, as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 1, the large-scale language model optimization method according to the present invention directly optimizes the policy of the large-scale language model to generate the most useful and safe response (or answer) to a user query, and this is performed through maximum likelihood estimation using a usefulness preference (or score) and a safety index (or score, measure, degree, etc.), and does not require a harmlessness preference. Here, the policy of a large-scale language model may mean a probability distribution (or function) that determines what output to generate for a specific input (or prompt), i.e., a response strategy of the large-scale language model. For example, the policy may mean what response (y) the large-scale language model will generate for an input (x) with what probability. Accordingly, in the present invention, optimizing the policy may include a process of optimizing (or adjusting) the parameters (θ) of the large-scale language model so that the probability distribution of the large-scale language model satisfies the helpfulness or safety criteria. The large-scale language model optimization method and system according to the present invention may also be referred to as “large-scale language model safety enhancement method and system” or “large-scale language model safety alignment method and system”.

[0051] Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 2, a large-scale language model optimization system (100) according to the present invention may include at least one of an input unit (110), an output unit (120), a communication unit (130), a storage unit (140), a data set reconstruction unit (150), an evaluation unit (160), and a control unit (170).

[0052] A large-scale language model optimization system (100) according to the present invention may include at least one processor and at least one memory containing computer program code. In this case, the memory may function as the storage unit (140) described above. In the present invention, the memory and the program code may cooperate with the processor to perform a series of processes described below.

[0053] Although not shown, the large-scale language model optimization system (100) according to the present invention may include one or more processors, which may include one or more general-purpose processors and / or one or more special-purpose processors (e.g., a digital signal processor, a tensor processing unit (TPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a neural network processing unit (NPU), an application-specific integrated circuit, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a quantum processing unit (or quantum processor, QPU), etc.). The one or more processors may be configured to execute instructions stored (or included) in the storage unit (140), computer-readable instructions, and / or other instructions described herein. The large-scale language model optimization method and system according to the present invention may allow the memory and at least one processor to cooperate to perform data processing as described below. The processor may perform a series of operations and data processing using data and information stored in the memory. At this time, the memory may be a component of the storage unit (140).

[0054] Furthermore, the large-scale language model optimization system (100) according to the present invention can perform data processing and calculation processes utilizing quantum gates, quantum entanglement, and quantum superposition states, taking into account implementation in a quantum computer environment. For example, the present invention can perform parallel operations based on qubits, and such quantum operations can operate complementarily with existing classical computers.

[0055] These quantum computers may include qubit-based parallel computing and high-speed data processing devices leveraging quantum entanglement, enabling hardware-based computational optimization using FPGAs and ASICs. Furthermore, quantum computers can utilize quantum processors capable of qubit-based parallel computing, and data processing efficiency can be improved through hybrid architectures with existing classical computers.

[0056] Meanwhile, the input unit (110) may be configured as a means for data input and may be configured in various types. For example, the input unit (110) may be configured to receive user input. The input unit (110) may be configured to receive user input from a user terminal (10). Here, “receiving input” may mean receiving an input signal (or selection signal) corresponding to the user’s input based on the input being made by the user through the input unit configuration provided in the user terminal.

[0057] Here, the user terminal (10) may include at least one of a mobile phone, a smart phone, a notebook computer, a laptop computer, a slate PC, a tablet PC, an ultrabook, a desktop computer, a digital broadcasting terminal, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a portable multimedia player (PMP), a navigation device, and a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch, a smart glass, a head mounted display (HMD)).

[0058] In addition, in the present invention, the input unit (110) does not necessarily mean a hardware means, and can be understood as a passage for receiving input from a user.

[0059] The input unit (110) may also be referred to as a user interface module. The input unit (110) may include a touch screen, computer mouse, keyboard, keypad, touch pad, trackball, joystick, voice recognition module, or other similar device. However, the present invention does not limit the type of input unit (110).

[0060] Here, the user input may include documents, text, images (or videos), voice, etc. In this case, the large-scale language model optimization system (100) may further include a module for converting voice into text.

[0061] Next, the output unit (120) can output information through an output unit configuration (e.g., a display unit, a touch screen, a speaker, etc.) provided in a user terminal linked with the large-scale language model optimization system (100) according to the present invention. For example, the output unit (120) can output a page (or service page, 1000) linked with the large-scale language model optimization system (100) according to the present invention to the display unit of the user terminal. In addition, the output unit (120) does not necessarily mean a hardware means, and can be understood as a channel for outputting results to the user.

[0062] Next, the communication unit (130) may be connected to a user terminal, a server (e.g., a central server, an external server, etc.), a device, and at least one network through a wireless or wired network, and may be configured to receive or transmit overall data and information necessary for the operation of the large-scale language model optimization system (100) according to the present invention.

[0063] The communication unit (130) can support various communication methods depending on the communication standards of the communicating device.

[0064] For example, the communication unit (130) may be configured to communicate with a communication target using at least one of WLAN (Wireless LAN), Wi-Fi (Wireless-Fidelity), Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) Direct, DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), WiBro (Wireless Broadband), WiMAX (World Interoperability for Microwave Access), HSDPA (High Speed ​​Downlink Packet Access), HSUPA (High Speed ​​Uplink Packet Access), LTE (Long Term Evolution), LTE-A (Long Term Evolution-Advanced), 5G (5th Generation Mobile Telecommunication), Bluetooth™, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), Infrared Data Association (IrDA), UWB (Ultra-Wideband), ZigBee, NFC (Near Field Communication), Wi-Fi Direct, and Wireless USB (Wireless Universal Serial Bus) technologies.

[0065] Next, the storage unit (140, or memory) serves to store various data related to the present invention, and may include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media that can be read and / or accessed by at least one of the one or more processors.

[0066] The one or more computer-readable storage media may include volatile and / or non-volatile storage components, such as optical, magnetic, organic, or other memory or disk storage devices. In some examples, the storage (140) may be implemented using a single physical device (e.g., a single optical, magnetic, organic, or other memory or disk storage device), while in other examples, the storage (140) may be implemented using two or more physical devices.

[0067] The storage unit (140) may include computer-readable instructions and additional data. The storage unit (140) may include storage necessary to perform at least some of the methods, scenarios, and techniques described herein and / or at least some of the functions of the devices and networks.

[0068] Furthermore, at least a portion of the storage unit (140) may be a cloud storage or a cloud server. At least a portion of data corresponding to user input received from the input unit (110) and training data may be stored in the storage unit (140). In addition, the storage unit (140) may store a specific data set to be reconstructed or data collected from various sources (e.g., a database (DB), a website, an API, a server linked to a large-scale language model optimization system (100), a central server, an external server, cloud storage, a user terminal (10), etc.).

[0069] That is, it can be understood that the storage unit (140) is sufficient as a space in which information necessary for the operation of the large-scale language model optimization system (100) according to the present invention is stored, and there are no restrictions on the physical space.

[0070] Furthermore, the storage unit (140) may store a computer program including computer program instructions. Furthermore, the storage unit (140) may store a computer program including computer program instructions that control the operation of the system (100) or control the operation of the control unit (170) when loaded onto the processor of the system (100).

[0071] Next, the data set reconstruction unit (150) may be configured to perform the role of reconstructing a data set to be reconstructed, which includes a query and question-response pairs configured to have a plurality of different responses to the query.

[0072] For example, when a data set to be reconstructed including a usability preference and a safety index for each of a plurality of responses to a query is input (or given), the priority determination unit (151) of the data set reconstructing unit (150) can determine a priority among the plurality of responses based on judgment results calculated according to different first judgment criteria and second judgment criteria. Then, the data set reconstructing unit (150) can reconstruct the data set based on the priorities among the plurality of responses determined through the priority determination unit (151) to configure (or build, create, etc.) a new reconstructed data set (500).

[0073] Next, the evaluation unit (160) may be configured to evaluate the performance (or capability) of the fine-tuned large-scale language model (180) through the reconstructed data set (500). The evaluation unit (160) may include at least one evaluator model to evaluate the performance of the large-scale language model (180). In this case, the evaluator model may be a model included in the large-scale language model optimization system (100) itself, or a model provided by an artificial intelligence server (not shown) linked to the large-scale language model optimization system (100). For example, the evaluator model may correspond to at least one of a generative artificial intelligence (Generative AI) model (or generative model), a large-scale language model (LLM), a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model, and a multimodal model. Furthermore, the number of evaluator models included in the evaluation unit (160) may be one or multiple, and the present invention does not limit the number of evaluator models included to any one.

[0074] For example, the evaluation unit (160) may construct a test data set using at least some of the data included in the reconstructed data set (500) and input at least some of the queries (or prompts) included in the test data set into the large-scale language model (180). Then, the evaluation unit (160) may construct an evaluation prompt for evaluating the usefulness and safety (or harmlessness) of the responses of the large-scale language model (180) using the responses of the large-scale language model (180) obtained in response to the queries. The evaluation unit (160) may input the evaluation prompt into the evaluator model and evaluate the usefulness and safety of the responses of the large-scale language model (180) using the responses to the evaluation prompts obtained from the evaluator model.

[0075] Next, the control unit (170) may perform a role of controlling the overall operation of the large-scale language model optimization system (100) related to the present invention. The control unit (170) may process signals, data, information, etc. input or output through the components of the large-scale language model optimization system (100) discussed above, or perform a series of data processing to provide or process appropriate information and functions to the user. The control unit (170) may be physically implemented by the processor discussed above.

[0076] Meanwhile, the present invention provides a method and system for optimizing large-scale language models that can improve the safety of large-scale language models. More specifically, the present invention can generate responses that simultaneously satisfy both helpfulness and safety. Below, we will examine the large-scale language model optimization method in more detail.

[0077] In the present invention, a process may be performed to specify a data set to be reconstructed, which includes a question and a plurality of question-response pairs configured to have different responses to the question (S310, see FIG. 3).

[0078] For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the data set (400) to be reconstructed may include question-response pairs configured to have a query (e.g., “prompt”) and multiple different responses to the query (e.g., “response_0”, “response_1”). This data set (400) to be reconstructed may be represented as in (a) of FIG. 6, and the query (or prompt) may be represented as in (b) of FIG. 6.

[0079] In this case, the data set (400) to be reconstructed may include, for each of the plurality of responses, judgment results calculated according to different first and second judgment criteria. More specifically, the data set (400) to be reconstructed may be configured to include attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses corresponding to judgment results calculated according to each of the first and second judgment criteria.

[0080] Here, the first judgment criterion may be related to helpfulness, which includes a standard for judging (or evaluating) how well it answers a user's query (or question) and provides useful and relevant (or related) information. For example, the elements (or items) included in the usefulness judgment criterion (or evaluation criterion) may include at least one of i) accuracy and currency of information, ii) clarity and understandability, iii) completeness of the response (whether all parts of the question are covered), iv) understanding of the context, v) creative problem-solving ability, vi) depth of in-depth explanation, vii) polite and professional expression, viii) reference to reliable sources, and ix) ability to induce user participation. In other words, usefulness may mean the degree to which it meets the user's needs (or intentions), has high information delivery power, and provides a clearly relevant response.

[0081] Next, the second judgment criterion may be related to safety, which includes criteria for determining whether the generated response to a user query is not harmful or inappropriate. For example, the elements (or items) included in the safety judgment criterion (or evaluation criterion) may include at least one of the following: i) physical harm such as animal abuse, child abuse, and self-harm; ii) hate speech, discrimination, sexual and violent content; iii) promotion of illegal activities (such as drugs, weapons, and financial crimes); iv) provision of misinformation (related to law, ethics, and safety); and v) invasion of privacy and inappropriate advice. If the generated response avoids these elements, the response may be judged to have a high level of safety. In other words, safety may refer to criteria indicating whether the generated response does not cause harm to users or society, is not offensive or inappropriate, and is normatively acceptable.

[0082] In this regard, among the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses, the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses calculated according to the first judgment criterion may be configured to have (or include) the first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion or the second attribute value according to the first judgment criterion. In this case, the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses calculated according to the first judgment criterion may be determined through an artificial intelligence model (e.g., the Bradley-Terry (BT) model). For example, the BT model is a statistical model that mathematically models the probability that an item is superior to another item in a pairwise comparison situation, and may be utilized (or utilized, used, etc.) to probabilistically model which response among the plurality of responses included in question-response pairs is more preferred in terms of usefulness. In other words, the BT model may be configured to operate as a mathematical basis for preference-based learning. Such a BT model may compare the score (or scores) or potential usefulness of each of the plurality of responses to a query to calculate the probability of which response the user is more likely to prefer. Through this, among the multiple responses included in the question-response pairs, a response having a high usefulness for the query (i.e., a helpful response) can be configured to have a first attribute value, and a response having a low usefulness for the query (i.e., an unhelpful response) can be configured to have a second attribute value. In addition, a response having (or including) a first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion can be assigned a first label (w) through a first labeling according to the first attribute value (see (c) of FIG. 6), and a response having a second attribute value different from the first attribute value can be assigned a second label (l) through a second labeling according to the second attribute value (see (d) of FIG. 6).

[0083] In another embodiment, the attribute values ​​(first attribute values ​​and second attribute values) for each of the plurality of responses calculated according to the first judgment criterion may be determined through an evaluator model of the evaluation unit (160). In order to evaluate the usefulness and quality of each of the plurality of responses to the query, the evaluation unit (160) may configure an evaluation prompt (or a first evaluation prompt, a usability preference evaluation prompt, etc.) that each includes a query and a plurality of responses to the query, and input the evaluation prompt into the evaluator model. The evaluator model may assign a higher score to a response among the plurality of responses included in the evaluation prompt that follows the user's request (or instruction) and provides useful information. Based on the output (or response) of the evaluator model for this evaluation prompt, a response assigned a higher score may be determined as a response having a first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion, and a response assigned a lower score than the response having the first attribute value may be determined as a response having a second attribute value.

[0084] And, among the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses, the attribute value for each of the plurality of responses calculated according to the second judgment criterion may be configured to have a first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion or a second attribute value according to the second judgment criterion. In this case, the attribute value for each of the plurality of responses calculated according to the second judgment criterion may be determined through an artificial intelligence model (e.g., an evaluator model). For example, in order to evaluate the safety of each of the plurality of responses to a question, the evaluation unit (160) may configure an evaluation prompt (or a second prompt, a safety (or harmlessness) preference prompt) that each includes a question and a plurality of responses to the question, and input the evaluation prompt into the evaluator model. The evaluator model may give a higher score to a safe response that follows the user's request and provides harmless information among the plurality of responses included in the evaluation prompt. Based on the output of the evaluator model for such evaluation prompt, a response that is given a higher score may be determined as a response having a first attribute value (e.g., “true”) according to a second judgment criterion, and a response that is given a lower score than the response having the first attribute value may be determined as a response having a second attribute value (e.g., “false”). In this case, if the scores given to each of the plurality of responses by the evaluator model are the same, all of the plurality of responses may be determined to have the first attribute value. In addition, a response having (or including) the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion may be assigned a first label (e.g., 0) through a first labeling according to the first attribute value, and a response having a second attribute value different from the first attribute value may be assigned a second label (e.g., 1) through a second labeling.

[0085] More specific details about the evaluation prompts used to evaluate the usability and safety discussed above will be described later.

[0086] Again, referring to FIG. 4, the data set (400) to be reconstructed may include attribute values ​​for each of a plurality of responses according to the first evaluation criterion and attribute values ​​for each of a plurality of responses according to the second evaluation criterion (e.g., “is_response_0_safe”, “is_response_1_safe”). In addition, the data set (400) to be reconstructed may include information on a response with higher usefulness among the plurality of responses included in the question-response pairs (e.g., “better_response_id”) and information on a response with higher safety (e.g., “safer_response_id”). This information may be based on judgment results calculated according to different first and second judgment criteria for each of the plurality of responses discussed above. For example, “0” included in information about a useful response (ex: “better_response_id”) may indicate that among multiple responses (ex: “response_0”, “response_1”), the first response (ex: “response_0”) is a more useful response, and “1” may indicate that among multiple responses (ex: “response_0”, “response_1”), the second response (ex: “response_1”) is a more useful response. As another example, “0” included in information about a safe response (ex: safer_response_id) may indicate that among multiple responses (ex: “response_0”, “response_1”), the first response (ex: “response_0”) is a more secure response, and “1” may indicate that among multiple responses (ex: “response_0”, “response_1”), the second response (ex: “response_1”) is a more secure response.In this way, the data set (400) to be reconstructed may include a usability preference (ex: “better_response_id”) and a safety index (ex: safer_response_id) for each of the plurality of responses, and the safety index for each of the first response and the second response among the plurality of responses may be represented as in (e) of FIG. 6.

[0087] Meanwhile, in the present invention, for each of a plurality of responses, a priority among a plurality of responses to a query may be determined based on judgment results calculated according to different first judgment criteria and second judgment criteria (S320), and a process of reconstructing a data set may be performed based on the determined priority (S330, see FIG. 3).

[0088] The control unit (170) can perform reconstruction of the data set (400) to be reconstructed using the data set reconstruction unit (150). The data set reconstruction unit (150) can reconstruct the data set (400) to be reconstructed based on the usability preference and safety index for each of the multiple responses included in the data set (400) to be reconstructed.

[0089] Specifically, the data set reconstruction unit (150) can perform reconstruction on the data set (400) to be reconstructed based on the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses included in the data set (400) to be reconstructed. The data set reconstruction unit (150) can determine priorities among the plurality of responses for the query included in the question-response pairs based on the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses, and can reconstruct the data set (400) to be reconstructed based on the priorities determined according to the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses.

[0090] First, the data set reconstruction unit (150) may compare the attribute values ​​of each of the plurality of responses generated according to the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion in order to determine the priority among the plurality of responses to the query included in the question-response pairs. Here, comparing the attribute values ​​of each of the plurality of responses may also be understood as a process of defining a new pair by comparing the safety scores (or indices) of each of highly useful responses (or helpful responses, preferred responses, etc.) and low useful responses (or unhelpful responses, unpreferred responses, etc.). This is a process performed so that it can be utilized in future alignment learning related to safety indices, and may include a process of reconstructing (or rearranging, re-arranging, re-ordering, etc.) the arrangement order of the plurality of responses so that safe responses are arranged with the highest priority based on safety, and unsafe responses are arranged behind (in a lower priority) the safe responses.

[0091] The data set reconstruction unit (150) can compare attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses generated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion, and determine priorities among the plurality of responses to the query included in the question-response pairs based on the comparison results.

[0092] For example, as illustrated in 5a, the priority determining unit (151) of the data set reconstruction unit (150) can compare the attribute values ​​for each of the multiple responses (ex: “response 1 to the first query”, “response 2 to the second query”, 411a, 411b) to the first query (411) included in the first query-response pair (ex: “question-response pair 1”, 410). The priority determining unit (151) may compare the attribute values ​​for the first response (411a) calculated according to the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion, respectively, with the attribute values ​​for the second response (411b) calculated according to the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion, respectively, and determine the priority (441) between the first response (411a) and the second response (411b) for the first query (411) included in the first question-response pair (410) based on the comparison result. As a result of the comparison, let us assume that among the plurality of responses (411a, 411b), the first response (411a) includes the second attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion, and the second response (411b) includes the first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion. In this case, the safety of each of the multiple responses (411a, 411b) included in the first question-response pair (410) can be understood to be equal or higher. At this time, the priority determination unit (151) can determine the priority (441) among the multiple responses (411a, 411b) for the first question (411) included in the first question-response pair (410) based on at least one of the attribute values ​​for each of the multiple responses (411a, 411b) calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion.The priority determining unit (151) may determine the priority (441) between the first response (411a) and the second response (411b) for the first query (411) included in the first question-response pair (410) based on the attribute values ​​of each of the plurality of responses (411a, 411b) according to the first judgment criterion that is different from the second judgment criterion, when the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses (411a, 411b) according to the second judgment criterion are the same. That is, the priority determining unit (151) may determine the second response (411b) as a response to be arranged with priority so that the second response (411b) including the first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion (i.e., high usability) among the plurality of responses (411a, 411b) that include the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion (i.e., safe) is arranged with priority.

[0093] For another example, the priority determining unit (151) may compare the attribute values ​​of each of the multiple responses (e.g., “response 1 to the second query”, “response 2 to the second query”, 421a, 421b) to the second query (421) included in the second query-response pair (e.g., “question-response pair 2”, 420). The priority determining unit (151) may compare the attribute values ​​of the first response (421a) calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion with the attribute values ​​of the second response (421b) calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion, and may determine the priority (442) between the first response (421a) and the second response (421b) to the first query (421) included in the second query-response pair (420) based on the comparison result. As a result of the comparison, let us assume that among the plurality of responses (421a, 421b), the first response (421a) includes a first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and a second attribute value according to the second judgment criterion, and the second response (421b) includes a second attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and a first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion. In this case, the usability and safety of each of the plurality of responses (421a, 421b) included in the second question-response pair (420) can be understood to be different. At this time, the priority determination unit (151) can determine the priority (442) among the plurality of responses (421a, 421b) for the second query (421) included in the second question-response pair (420) based on at least one of the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses (421a, 421b) calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion.The priority determining unit (151) may determine the priority (442) between the first response (421a) and the second response (421b) for the second query (421) included in the second question-response pair (420) based on the attribute values ​​of each of the plurality of responses (421a, 421b) according to the first judgment criterion and the attribute values ​​of each of the plurality of responses (421a, 421b) according to the second judgment criterion related to safety, if these are different from each other. That is, the priority determining unit (151) may determine the second response (421b) as a response to be arranged with priority so that the second response (421b) including the first attribute value (i.e., safe) according to the second judgment criterion among the plurality of responses (421a, 421b) including different attribute values ​​is arranged with priority.

[0094] As another example, the priority determining unit (151) can compare the attribute values ​​of each of the multiple responses (e.g., “response 1 to the third query”, “response 2 to the third query”, 431a, 431b) to the third query (431) included in the third query-response pair (e.g., “question-response pair 3”, 430). The priority determining unit (151) can compare the attribute values ​​of the first response (431a) calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion with the attribute values ​​of the second response (431b) calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion, and determine the priority (443) between the first response (431a) and the second response (431b) to the third query (431) included in the third query-response pair (430) based on the comparison result. As a result of the comparison, let us assume that among the plurality of responses (431a, 431b), the first response (431a) includes a first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and a first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion, and the second response (431b) includes a second attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and a first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion. In this case, the safety of each of the plurality of responses (431a, 431b) included in the third question-response pair (430) can be understood to be the same or higher. At this time, the priority determination unit (151) can determine the priority (443) among the plurality of responses (431a, 431b) for the third query (431) included in the third question-response pair (430) based on at least one of the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses (431a, 431b) calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion.The priority decision unit (151) can determine the priority (443) between the first response (431a) and the second response (431b) for the first query (431) included in the third query-response pair (430) based on the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses (431a, 431b) according to the first judgment criterion that is different from the second judgment criterion, when the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses (431a, 431b) according to the second judgment criterion are the same. In this case, the priority decision unit (151) may determine the first response (431a) as the response to be arranged in priority order, based on the fact that among the multiple responses (431a, 431b) including the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion (i.e., safe), the first response (431a) including the first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion (i.e., high usability) is already arranged in priority order, so that the first response (431a) is maintained to be arranged in priority order.

[0095] In another embodiment, the priority determining unit (151) may determine the second response as a response to be arranged in priority order, such that when a first response among a plurality of responses included in a question-response pair includes a second attribute value according to a first judgment criterion and a second attribute value according to a second judgment criterion, and a second response includes a first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and a first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion, the second response may be arranged in priority order, such that the second response, which includes a first attribute value according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion among a plurality of responses including different attribute values, is arranged in priority order. In addition, the priority determination unit (151) may determine the second response as a response to be arranged in priority order, such that, among the plurality of responses included in a question-response pair, if the first response includes a second attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and a second attribute value according to the second judgment criterion, and the second response includes a second attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and a first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion, the second response including the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion among the plurality of responses including different attribute values ​​is arranged in priority order.

[0096] In another embodiment, when a first response among a plurality of responses included in a question-response pair includes a second attribute value according to a first judgment criterion and a first attribute value according to a second judgment criterion, and a second response includes a first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and a second attribute value according to a second judgment criterion, the priority determining unit (151) may determine the first response as a response to be arranged in priority order based on the fact that the first response including the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion among the plurality of responses including different attribute values ​​is already arranged in priority order, so that the arrangement of the first response in priority order is maintained. In addition, the priority determining unit (151) may determine the first response as a response to be arranged in priority order, based on the fact that the first response, which includes the first attribute value according to each of the first and second judgment criteria, is already arranged in priority order when the first response among the multiple responses included in the question-response pair includes the first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion, and the second response includes the second attribute value according to the second judgment criterion. The first response may be arranged in priority order so that the arrangement of the first response in priority order is maintained.

[0097] That is, the data set reconstruction unit (150) compares the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses generated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion, and based on the comparison result (i.e., the determined priority), can change or maintain the arrangement order of the plurality of responses included in at least some of the question-response pairs included in the data set (400).

[0098] In another embodiment, the data set reconstruction unit (150) may specify at least some question-response pairs among the question-response pairs included in the data set (400) that are configured to have multiple responses that include a second attribute value according to a second judgment criterion (i.e., are unsafe), and exclude (or remove) the specified question-response pairs from being used in the fine-tuning process of the large-scale language model.

[0099] That is, if all of the multiple responses included in a question-response pair are unsafe, the data set reconstruction unit (150) can remove the question-response pair from the data set (400) to be reconstructed so that the multiple responses included in the question-response pair are not used in the fine-tuning process.

[0100] Furthermore, the data set reconstruction unit (150) can reconstruct the data set (400) based on the priorities determined according to the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses. Here, the step of reconstructing the data set (400) may be a step of determining priorities among the plurality of responses to the query included in the question-response pairs based on at least one of the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion, and reconstructing the arrangement order of the plurality of responses so that responses corresponding to the determined priorities among the plurality of responses are arranged in priority order.

[0101] The data set reconstruction unit (150) can reconstruct the arrangement order of multiple responses based on the priorities among the multiple responses determined through the priority determination unit (151).

[0102] For example, as illustrated in (a) of FIG. 5b, the data set reconstruction unit (150) can reconstruct the arrangement order of the first response (411a) and the second response (411b) based on the priorities (ex: “Priority: Response 2”, 441) among the multiple responses (411a, 411b) included in the first question-response pair (410), such that the second response (411b) corresponding to the priority (441) among the multiple responses (411a, 411b) is arranged with a higher priority than the first response (411a). In this case, the data set reconstruction unit (150) can change the arrangement order of the first response (411a) and the second response (411b) so that the useful and secure second response (411b) is arranged with a higher priority than the first response (411a), and the first response (411a) is arranged after (in a lower priority) the second response (411b). Through this, the second response (411b) can be arranged with a higher priority, and a reconstructed (or rearranged, rearranged, rearranged, etc.) first question-response pair (e.g., “reconstructed question-response pair 1”, 450) can be newly configured.

[0103] For another example, as illustrated in (b) of FIG. 5b, the data set reconstruction unit (150) may reconstruct the arrangement order of the first response (421a) and the second response (421b) based on the priorities (ex: “Priority: Response 2”, 442) among the multiple responses (421a, 421b) included in the second question-response pair (420) so that the second response (421b) corresponding to the priority (442) among the multiple responses (421a, 421b) is arranged with a higher priority than the first response (421a). In this case, the data set reconstruction unit (150) can change the arrangement order of the first response (421a) and the second response (421b) so that the second response (421b) with high safety is arranged with a higher priority than the first response (421a), and the first response (421a) with low safety (i.e., harmful) is arranged after (in a lower priority) the second response (421b). Through this, the second response (421b) is arranged with a higher priority, so that the reconstructed second question-response pair (e.g., “reconstructed question-response pair 2”, 460) can be newly configured.

[0104] For another example, as illustrated in (c) of FIG. 5, the data set reconstruction unit (150) can maintain the arrangement order among the plurality of responses (431a, 431b) included in the third question-response pair (430) based on the priority (ex: “Priority: Response 1”, 443), in which the first response (431a) corresponding to the priority (443) is already arranged in priority order among the plurality of responses (431a, 431b).

[0105] The reordering of the multiple responses discussed above can be understood as changing the ordering of the multiple responses (or the ordering, arrangement position, arrangement position, etc.) so that responses corresponding to the determined priority among the multiple responses are arranged in order of priority (or arranged, positioned, etc.). In other words, the process of reorganizing the data set may include a process of changing the ordering of the multiple responses so that useful and secure responses or secure responses are arranged in order of priority.

[0106] Finally, as illustrated in FIG. 5c, a reconstructed data set (500) can be newly constructed by reconstructing the arrangement order of the plurality of responses. For example, the reconstructed data set (500) can include at least some question-response pairs (450, 460) in which the arrangement order of the plurality of responses is reconstructed, or at least some question-response pairs (470) in which the arrangement order of the plurality of responses is maintained. In the present invention, the reconstructed data set (500), the query included in the reconstructed data set (500), and the plurality of different responses to the query can be represented as illustrated in FIG. 6(f).

[0107] Meanwhile, in the present invention, in order to improve the safety of a large-scale language model, a large-scale language model can be optimized using a reconstructed data set (500).

[0108] At this time, the present invention does not require any cost and reward modeling for optimization of a large-scale language model, and the policy of the large-scale language model can be optimized to suit a helpful preference among safe responses.

[0109] As an example, to define (or set) an objective function for optimizing a large-scale language model, let us assume that there are a first function (r) and a second function (c). Here, the first function (r(x, y)) can determine a usefulness preference according to the BT model. The first function can be a function that quantifies how useful a given input (x) and response (y) are. According to the BT model, the first function is used to allow a user (or evaluator model) to select a more preferred response among multiple responses. That is, the larger the value of the first function, the more useful the response is judged to be. The second function (c(x, y)) determines a harmlessness preference and a safety index, and can be an index that determines whether the response (y) is harmless or safe. If the second function is less than or equal to 0, it is a safe response, and otherwise, it is an unsafe response. That is, the second function may not simply assign a score to the degree of risk, but may be a function with a reference value of 0 that determines whether a response is safe. In other words, the second function is a function that numerically represents the safety or risk of a response (y), and can serve as a reference line for dividing whether it is safe or dangerous based on a specific value (e.g., 0), so it can be used for binary safety judgment.

[0110] In the present invention, in order to conduct learning only for safe responses, the learning objective can be set to a structure that selects only responses that satisfy the case where the second function is less than or equal to 0, or penalizes responses that correspond to cases where the second function is greater than 0. In other words, even if a large-scale language model determines a useful response with a high value of the first function, the response can be excluded or penalized if the value of the second function is greater than 0. Accordingly, the large-scale language model can be trained to further increase the first function, but not select responses that correspond to cases where the second function is greater than 0 (unsafe responses). The first function can be understood as a usefulness judgment criterion (or first judgment criterion), and the second function can be understood as a safety judgment criterion (or second judgment criterion), and the large-scale language model can be trained to generate responses that are both useful and safe. Based on this assumption, a surrogate objective function can be formulated as shown in (a) of Fig. 7. Here, the modified reward function that penalizes unsafe responses can be represented as in (b) of Fig. 7, and the function (h) can be represented as in (c) of Fig. 7.

[0111] In this case, the surrogate objective function shown in (a) of Fig. 7 is a structure that penalizes unsafe responses by C. If C is made infinitely large, the score of unsafe responses will drop completely, so that the large-scale language model will learn by selecting only safe responses. In other words, if C becomes infinitely large, it means that dangerous responses are completely excluded, and in this case, the learning objective of the present invention may coincide with an optimization problem that satisfies safety constraints. Therefore, in the present invention, an objective function that optimizes the formula shown in (a) of Fig. 7 can be derived, and this can be represented as in (d) of Fig. 7. Here, the data set (Dc) may be sampled from a preferred probability distribution (or reward distribution, preferred distribution) defined according to a modified reward function (rc). Here, the preferred probability distribution may be a reference probability that induces the large-scale language model to select more useful and safe responses that it should learn. This preference probability distribution can be a distribution that induces a higher evaluation of useful and safe responses, and the model can be trained using preference pairs sampled from the preference probability distribution. That is, the data set (Dc) used for model training can be generated from a preference probability distribution that indicates which response is more preferred based on a reward function (rc) that penalizes unsafe responses. Figure 7(d) shows that even the data set for the case where C is infinite is sufficient to optimize the safety-constrained optimization problem. That is, by constructing a reconstructed data set (500) that includes the safe responses discussed above to selectively learn safe and useful responses, the large-scale language model can be optimized toward generating safe and useful responses.

[0112] As discussed above, the data set reconstruction unit (150) can reconstruct the target data set (400) to be reconstructed, thereby newly configuring the reconstructed data set (500). Here, the query included in the target data set (400) to be reconstructed and a plurality of different responses to the query are sampled from a usefulness preference distribution (see (g) of FIG. 6), and the safety index for each of the plurality of responses can be represented as in (e) of FIG. 6. This reconstructed data set (500) can have characteristics similar to the preferences sampled from an ideal preference probability distribution (see (g) of FIG. 6) defined to prefer useful responses while considering only safe responses and not selecting risky responses (see (h) of FIG. 6). That is, in the present invention, it can be understood that the reconstructed data set (500) is constructed by rearranging a plurality of responses included in the target data set (400) to be reconstructed based on safety, so that a large-scale language model learns as if it has sampled data from the preference probability distribution.

[0113] For queries and multiple responses to the queries included in the reconstructed data set (500), safe responses are always selected with preference over unsafe responses, and when the safety levels of multiple responses are identical, the more useful response may always be preferred. As discussed above, the reconstructed data set (500) can theoretically be considered identical to that sampled from an ideal preference probability distribution. In other words, the present invention can achieve learning that considers both safety and usefulness simply by reconstructing the arrangement order of multiple responses based on safety, without complex constraints.

[0114] Accordingly, the present invention can derive a computable objective function for improving the safety of a large-scale language model by replacing the theoretically defined data set in the formula shown in (d) of Fig. 7 with a data set reconstructed based on safety information. This can be represented as in (e) of Fig. 7. In this case, (e) of Fig. 7 can accurately optimize (a) of Fig. 7 when C is infinite.

[0115] Based on the explanations discussed above, we will now examine how to fine-tune large-scale language models to improve their safety.

[0116] Meanwhile, in the present invention, a process of fine-tuning a large-scale language model can be performed using a reconstructed data set (S340, see FIG. 3).

[0117] The control unit (170) can define the final objective function to be used for fine-tuning the large-scale language model by using the reconstructed data set (500) through the reconstructing of the target data set (400). More specifically, the control unit (170) can define the objective function by using the reconstructed data set through the reconstructing of the arrangement order of a plurality of responses for fine-tuning the large-scale language model (180), and can fine-tune the large-scale language model by using the objective function. For example, the safety index (i.e., a value indicating whether the response is safe) for each of the plurality of responses can be integrated (or reflected) into the reconstructed data set (500) by adjusting (h) of FIG. 6. In the present invention, a plurality of responses to a query and a safety index corresponding to each of the plurality of responses can be reconstructed (or rearranged) together (see (b) of FIG. 8). As discussed above, the reconstruction process can reorganize the data set so that safe responses are arranged in order of priority (i.e., preferred response positions), and the attribute values ​​for each of the reorganized responses can also be adjusted and included. This allows for the inclusion of not only pairs of responses but also their safety status in a sorted form.

[0118] This final objective function can be represented as in (a) of Fig. 8, and may include a modified (or redefined) reward function. The modified reward function represents how much the current policy prefers a specific response compared to the reference policy, and can be understood as a reward function used in place of the reward model to evaluate relative preferences without explicitly learning or modeling the reward function. This represents the log ratio of how much the current policy (the conditional probability distribution of the model fine-tuned during the learning process) prefers a specific response compared to the reference policy (the conditional probability distribution of the pre-trained model), and enables the optimization of the policy of a large-scale language model without explicitly modeling the reward. This allows the difference in reward to be approximated through the ratio between policy distributions, without separately learning a reward model or cost model. In other words, through the objective function, the training of a large-scale language model can be performed in a direction that increases the log-likelihood ratio of the preferred response.

[0119] Specifically, the control unit (170) can fine-tune the large-scale language model (180) using the objective function shown in (a) of FIG. 8 so that the large-scale language model (180) generates a response to a query by simultaneously considering the first judgment criterion (usefulness) and the second judgment criterion (safety).

[0120] In the present invention, the fine-tuning process may include optimizing a large-scale language model (180) using an objective function so that the large-scale language model generates useful and secure responses. More specifically, the fine-tuning process may include optimizing the large-scale language model using an objective function so that the large-scale language model generates a response to a user query that includes a first attribute value according to a first judgment criterion and a first attribute value according to a second judgment criterion.

[0121] The control unit (170) can optimize the large-scale language model to generate the most useful response among the secure responses included in the question-response pairs constituting the reconstructed data set (500). The control unit (170) can optimize the large-scale language model (180) using an objective function to generate a response including the first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion among the responses including the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion for the query.

[0122] In this case, the control unit (170) can utilize safety indicators for each of the multiple responses during the fine-tuning process to improve safety even with a small number of samples while maintaining the optimality of the large-scale language model. This can also be understood as utilizing attribute values ​​for each of the multiple responses, calculated according to the second judgment criterion, indicating the safety of each of the multiple responses.

[0123] The control unit (170) can fine-tune the large-scale language model (180) using an objective function so that the probability of generating a response including a first attribute value according to a second judgment criterion is maximized among a plurality of responses whose arrangement order has been reconstructed. Here, a response including a first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion may correspond to a response arranged in priority through the reconstruction process.

[0124] For example, the control unit (170) can fine-tune the large-scale language model (180) using the objective function so as to maximize the probability of generating a second response (411b) including a first attribute value according to a first judgment criterion and a first attribute value according to a second judgment criterion among the multiple responses (411a, 411b) included in the reconstructed first question-response pair (450). In other words, the control unit (170) can optimize the large-scale language model (180) in a direction that maximizes the probability of generating a second response (411b) that is useful and has high safety.

[0125] For another example, the control unit (170) may fine-tune the large-scale language model (180) using the objective function so as to maximize the probability of generating a second response (421b) including the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion among the multiple responses (421a, 421b) included in the reconstructed second question-response pair (460). That is, the control unit (170) may optimize the large-scale language model (180) in a direction that maximizes the probability of generating a second response (421b) with high safety.

[0126] In contrast, the control unit (170) can fine-tune the large-scale language model (180) by imposing a penalty on responses including a second attribute value according to the second judgment criterion so as to minimize the probability of generating responses including a second attribute value different from a first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion among multiple responses whose array order has been reconstructed.

[0127] For example, the control unit (170) can fine-tune the large-scale language model (180) by imposing a penalty on the first response (411a) so that the probability of generating the first response (411a) including the second attribute value according to the second judgment criterion among the multiple responses (411a, 411b) included in the reconstructed first question-response pair (450) is minimized. That is, the control unit (170) can minimize the probability of generating an unsafe response of the large-scale language model (180) by imposing a penalty on the first response (411a) having low safety.

[0128] For another example, the control unit (170) can fine-tune the large-scale language model (180) by imposing a penalty on the first response (421a) so that the probability of generating the first response (421a) including the second attribute value according to the second judgment criterion among the multiple responses (421a, 421b) included in the reconstructed fifth question-response pair (490) is minimized. That is, the control unit (170) can minimize the probability of generating an unsafe response of the large-scale language model (180) by imposing a penalty on the first response (421a) having low safety.

[0129] Meanwhile, considering the gradient of the objective function (see (a) of FIG. 8) used for fine-tuning the large-scale language model (180), it can be represented as in (d) of FIG. 8. At this time, Δ can represent a hyperparameter of the large-scale language model (180) that signifies a safety offset (a hyperparameter for strengthening learning safety and safe response classification, see (c) of FIG. 8). This offset term can affect the gradient weight of the log-likelihood (or log-likelihood). As the reward difference between multiple different responses increases, the corresponding weight approaches 0, which can slow down the update speed of learning. At this time, this decrease can be alleviated when the hyperparameter is greater than 0 (Δ > 0). For example, when Δ > 0, the logit difference is made larger for multiple responses with different safety (i.e., response pairs with different safety indices (see (e) of FIG. 8)), allowing the large-scale language model (180) to classify safe responses at a faster rate. Thus, this approach acts as if applying a higher learning rate for multiple responses with different safety, allowing faster safety classification learning with the same number of samples.

[0130] In this regard, in the fine-tuning process discussed above, the large-scale language model (180) can be fine-tuned by maximizing the difference in log-likelihood between useful and safe responses and unusable or unsafe responses (i.e., increasing the likelihood of useful and safe responses and decreasing the likelihood of unusable or unsafe responses). More specifically, the control unit (170) can fine-tune the large-scale language model (180) using the objective function in a direction (or manner) of maximizing the relative log-likelihood of useful and safe responses and minimizing the relative log-likelihood of unusable or unsafe responses. For example, the control unit (170) may perform fine-tuning on the large-scale language model (180) in a direction of maximizing the relative log-likelihood of a response including a first attribute value according to a first judgment criterion and a first attribute value according to a second judgment criterion among the multiple responses included in the reconstructed data set (500), and minimizing the relative log-likelihood between a response including a second attribute value according to the first judgment criterion or a response including a second attribute value according to the second judgment criterion.

[0131] Accordingly, the large-scale language model (180) can be trained so that useful and safe responses have a relatively higher likelihood compared to the reference policy, and unusable or unsafe responses have a relatively lower likelihood. That is, in the present invention, the parameters of the large-scale language model (180) can be optimized (or adjusted) so that useful and safe responses have a relatively larger log-likelihood ratio than unusable or unsafe responses, thereby maximizing the log-likelihood difference between multiple responses with different safety levels. This log-likelihood-based optimization enhances the probabilistic selection tendency that reflects relative preference and safety compared to the reference policy, rather than adjusting the absolute probability value, thereby allowing useful responses that are safe and meet user preferences to be preferentially selected and generated.

[0132] Meanwhile, when fine-tuning of the large-scale language model (180) is completed, the control unit (170) can use the evaluation unit (160) to conduct an evaluation of the large-scale language model (180).

[0133] The evaluation unit (160) can construct a test data set using at least some of the data included in the reconstructed data set (500) and input at least some of the queries (or prompts) included in the test data set into the large-scale language model (180). Then, the evaluation unit (160) can construct evaluation prompts for evaluating the usefulness and safety (or harmlessness) of the responses of the large-scale language model (180) using the responses of the large-scale language model (180) obtained in response to the queries. The first evaluation prompt for evaluating usefulness and the second evaluation prompt for evaluating safety can be configured as in the following examples (see Tables 1 and 2).

[0136] The evaluation unit (160) inputs the first evaluation prompt and the second evaluation prompt into the evaluator model, respectively, and can use the output (or response) for the first evaluation prompt and the second evaluation prompt obtained from the evaluator model to evaluate the usefulness and safety of the response of the large-scale language model (180), respectively. In this case, as described above, the first evaluation prompt and the second evaluation prompt may each include preset evaluation criteria (or evaluation factors) for evaluating the usefulness and safety, respectively. For example, the first evaluation prompt may include a first evaluation criterion for evaluating the usefulness of the response, and the second evaluation prompt may include a second evaluation criterion for evaluating the safety of the response. The evaluator model can evaluate the usefulness and safety of the response of the large-scale language model (180), respectively, based on the evaluation criteria included in the first evaluation prompt and the second evaluation prompt, and can calculate a usefulness score and a safety score for the response of the large-scale language model (180), respectively. At this time, the evaluation unit (160) can also calculate the harmless (safe) response rate using the generated safety score. Finally, the evaluation unit (160) can use the usefulness score and safety score obtained from the evaluator model to generate evaluation results for the usability and safety of the large-scale language model (180), respectively. Meanwhile, in the present invention, a new data set can be constructed using the responses of the large-scale language model (180) to user queries.

[0137] For example, as illustrated in FIG. 2, when the control unit (170) receives a user query input through the service page (1000), it can generate and provide a response to the user query using the large-scale language model (180). At this time, the control unit (170) can collect (or obtain) the user query received through the service page and a plurality of responses generated from the large-scale language model (180) for the user query.

[0138] And, the control unit (170) can build a data set using the collected user query and multiple responses to the query. The control unit (170) can specify attribute values ​​for each of the user query and the multiple responses to the query. The control unit (170) can determine (or specify) attribute values ​​for each of the multiple responses to the query according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion. Since the process of determining attribute values ​​for each of the multiple responses according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion has been described in detail above, it will be omitted below to avoid duplication of explanation.

[0139] Furthermore, when the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses are determined, the control unit (170) determines the priority among the plurality of responses to the query based on at least one of the attribute values ​​for each of the plurality of responses calculated according to each of the first judgment criterion and the second judgment criterion, and configures the arrangement order of the plurality of responses so that responses corresponding to the determined priority among the plurality of responses are arranged in priority order.

[0140] For example, the control unit (170) can configure the arrangement order of the plurality of responses so that responses including the first attribute value according to the first judgment criterion and the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion among the plurality of responses are arranged in order of priority.

[0141] For another example, the control unit (170) can configure the arrangement order of the plurality of responses so that responses including the first attribute value according to the second judgment criterion among the plurality of responses are arranged in order of priority.

[0142] Finally, when the configuration of the array order is completed, the control unit (170) can configure question-response pairs including multiple responses to the query for which the query and array order are configured, and build a new data set including the question-response pairs. In this way, the present invention is not limited to reconstructing a data set, but can actively expand the data set required for optimizing a large-scale language model by continuously building a new data set using responses from a large-scale language model collected from various services and / or system environments where a large-scale language model is utilized.

[0143] Meanwhile, the large-scale language model (180) trained using the optimization method of the present invention discussed above can be usefully applied to a response generation service (or system) that generates responses to queries input from a user terminal (10). For example, the trained large-scale language model (180) can generate and provide a user with a useful and secure appropriate response to a given query.

[0144] In this regard, a method for generating an answer in a large-scale language model optimization system according to the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving a user query input from a user terminal; inputting the user query into a large-scale language model trained with a data set reconstructed based on priorities among the plurality of responses determined based on judgment results calculated according to different first judgment criteria and second judgment criteria for each of the plurality of responses among a data set to be reconstructed that is configured to have a plurality of different responses to the query; and obtaining a response to the user query from the large-scale language model. Through this process, a useful and highly secure response obtained (or generated) from the large-scale language model can be provided to the user terminal.

[0145] In this case, the large-scale language model optimization system (100) according to the present invention can update the first and second judgment criteria based on user feedback. More specifically, the large-scale language model optimization system (100) can collect feedback data (e.g., feedback on the response of the large-scale language model) received from the user terminal (10) and analyze the collected feedback to update (or adjust) the evaluation factors (or judgment items) and / or weights of the first and second judgment criteria.

[0146] In one embodiment, when receiving user feedback that a response to a query includes “unclear explanation,” “excessive repetition,” “inappropriate tone,” “illogical development,” etc., the large-scale language model optimization system (100) may upwardly adjust the relative weights of detailed items such as “clarity,” “conciseness,” and “logical consistency” among the judgment items included in the first judgment criterion. At this time, the large-scale language model optimization system (100) may comprehensively consider statistical cumulative frequency, intensity of negative response, and user confidence based on the collected feedback data to calculate a weight correction coefficient for each evaluation item, and dynamically reflect the coefficient to the existing usefulness judgment criteria.

[0147] In another embodiment, when receiving user feedback that a response to a query contains “implying hate speech,” “presenting an unbalanced viewpoint,” “indirectly promoting illegal activities,” “violating social norms,” etc., the large-scale language model optimization system (100) may upwardly adjust the relative weights of detailed items, such as “non-discrimination,” “legal and ethical acceptability,” “avoidance of sensitive content,” and “maintaining accurate context,” among the judgment items included in the second judgment criterion. At this time, the large-scale language model optimization system (100) may comprehensively consider the frequency of appearance, risk assessment index, social sensitivity score, and reliability of the feedback submitter for each item based on the collected feedback data to calculate a weight correction coefficient for each evaluation item, and dynamically reflect the coefficient to the existing safety judgment criteria.

[0148] These criteria updates can be applied periodically or conditionally, depending on the criteria management logic implemented by the control unit (170). The updated criteria are then reflected in subsequent data set reconstruction and model fine-tuning processes, enabling model optimization more aligned with user preferences. Thus, the present invention overcomes the limitations of static criteria-based learning and provides a more effective and secure language model learning environment through adaptive criteria updates that reflect real-world user responses.

[0149] Meanwhile, as illustrated in Figures 9 (a) and (b), the large-scale language model trained using the optimization method according to the present invention is fine-tuned to effectively eliminate unsafe (harmful) responses, confirming that over 90% of the generated responses are evaluated as safe. Furthermore, the large-scale language model trained using the optimization method according to the present invention demonstrates high performance not only in terms of safety and the rate of generating safe responses, but also in terms of usability.

[0150] Furthermore, as illustrated in (a) and (b) of FIG. 10, the large-scale language model optimization method according to the present invention, as discussed above, can be confirmed to enhance the ability of a large-scale language model to generate useful responses among safe responses. In other words, the large-scale language model optimization method according to the present invention enables a large-scale language model to achieve its learning objective of generating useful and safe responses.

[0151] Furthermore, as illustrated in (a) and (b) of Fig. 11, the present invention can be confirmed to have a high harmlessness ratio for all hyperparameter values ​​as a result of variously changing the values ​​of hyperparameters in the final objective function (see (a) of Fig. 8)) according to the present invention as discussed above. This can indicate safety and robustness according to hyperparameter settings.

[0152] As discussed above, the large-scale language model optimization method and system according to the present invention can reconstruct a data set based on priorities determined by different first and second judgment criteria, and fine-tune a large-scale language model using the reconstructed data set. This allows the large-scale language model to generate the most useful responses within a safe range, thereby suppressing the generation of unsafe responses while maintaining or enhancing its ability to provide useful information.

[0153] Furthermore, according to the large-scale language model optimization method and system according to the present invention, priorities among multiple responses can be determined based on attribute values ​​for each of the multiple responses to a query included in question-response pairs of a data set, and the arrangement order of the multiple responses can be reorganized so that responses corresponding to the determined priorities are arranged in order of priority. Through this, the present invention can improve the safety of the large-scale language model with only a small number of samples while maintaining the optimality of the large-scale language model. In other words, the present invention enables the large-scale language model to generate safe responses even with a small number of training samples through additional hyperparameters for enhanced safety.

[0154] Furthermore, the large-scale language model optimization method and system according to the present invention reconstructs the arrangement order of multiple responses included in question-response pairs based on different first and second judgment criteria, and then directly fine-tunes the large-scale language model without separate training of various models, thereby effectively enhancing the stability of the large-scale language model while also successfully aligning it with human preferences. This allows the large-scale language model to avoid generating unsafe responses while generating responses that align with human preferences within the range of safe responses.

[0155] In this way, the present invention effectively prevents the generation of harmful responses in large-scale language models and prioritizes the generation of useful responses among safe responses. Furthermore, the present invention simultaneously improves the safety and usability of large-scale language models without the need for separate training of various models, thereby saving computational resources (e.g., memory, time, etc.) required for training and minimizing complex hyperparameter tuning.

[0156] Meanwhile, the present invention discussed above can be implemented based on a quantum computer. The present invention implemented based on a quantum computer may include a quantum processor and quantum memory based on qubits, and may include software and hardware interfaces optimized for quantum computing.

[0157] Quantum processors in quantum computers utilize qubits to efficiently perform complex calculations, such as parallel computation, quantum entanglement, and quantum superposition, which classical computers' binary bits cannot perform. Quantum processors process data using quantum gates, and can provide exponential speedups for certain problems.

[0158] Meanwhile, the present invention discussed above can be implemented as a program that is executed by one or more processes on a computer and can be stored on a medium (or recording medium) that can be read by the computer.

[0159] Furthermore, the present invention discussed above can be implemented as computer-readable code or instructions on a program-recorded medium. In other words, the present invention can be provided in the form of a program.

[0160] Meanwhile, computer-readable media include all types of recording devices that store data that can be read by a computer system. Examples of computer-readable media include hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state disk drives (SSDs), silicon disk drives (SDDs), ROMs, RAMs, CD-ROMs, magnetic tapes, floppy disks, and optical data storage devices.

[0161] Furthermore, the computer-readable medium may include a storage device and may be a server or cloud storage device accessible via communication. In this case, the computer may download the program according to the present invention from the server or cloud storage device via wired or wireless communication.

[0162] A computer program can reach the system (100) via a variety of suitable transmission mechanisms. The transmission mechanism may be, for example, a computer-readable storage medium, a computer program product, a memory device, a recording medium such as a CD-ROM or DVD, or a product tangibly embodying a computer program.
