Both need large amounts of human annotation, which is expensive and can be inconsistent or biased. Open models such as Alpaca and Vicuna avoid that cost by distilling outputs from already-aligned commercial systems, so they still rely on… 2. **[SALMON: Self-Alignment with Instructable Reward Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sun-2023-salmon-self-alignment-instructable-reward/)** *(2023 · 41 citations)* The paper tackles the heavy cost of aligning large language models with SFT plus RLHF, which needs many human-written demonstrations and preference labels. ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Principle-Driven Self-Alignment of Language Models from Scratch with Minimal Human Supervision](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sun-2023-principle-driven-self-alignment-language/) [Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/)**Zhiqing Sun, Yikang Shen, Qinhong Zhou, et al.*2023 · 236 citations* 2. **[Building Cooperative Embodied Agents Modularly with Large Language Models ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.02485) arXiv:2307.02485 · no summary yet**Hongxin Zhang et al.*2023 · 95 citations* 3.
