Recently, I have been researching large language models with the goal of using them to score samples.

Initially, I attempted to have the model rate on a scale from 1 to 5, but it consistently gave out only the lowest or highest scores, lacking nuance in its evaluations.

So, I switched tactics, moving away from numerical scores to descriptive phrases ranging from “very poor” to “excellent.”

This change immediately diversified the model’s ratings, moving away from simplistic extreme judgments.

I went a step further and tried scoring with a percentage system, from 1 to 100. This broader range allowed the model to more precisely assess the quality of samples.

These experiments were essentially about reward models in reinforcement learning.

Through these experiments, I discovered that different scoring methods significantly impact the model’s performance.

Now, I want to share a case study with everyone.

We will explore how these various scoring methods differ in practical applications.

The Likert Scale features five levels, ranging from 1 to 5, representing attitudes from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree.”

I have created a template of prompt words based on this scale.

Evaluate the score of a novel excerpt; if the score is low, modify it based on keywords.

Please assess the overall quality of… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
