It is also hard to evaluate reliably, and commercial vendors document it poorly. AlpacaFarm is a sandbox for cheaply studying learning from pairwise feedback (LPF). It has three parts: 2. **[Identifying the Risks of LM Agents with an LM-Emulated Sandbox](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ruan-2023-identifying-risks-lm-agents-lm/)** *(2023 · 96 citations)* LM agents that call external tools, such as banking APIs, terminals or smart-home devices, can cause serious harm when they misread a request. ## 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. **[AlpacaFarm: A Simulation Framework for Methods that Learn from Human Feedback](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/dubois-2023-alpacafarm-simulation-framework-methods-that/) [Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/)**Yann Dubois, Xuechen Li, Rohan Taori, et al.*2023 · 456 citations* 2.
