3.3 Human data collection

  1. How were InstructGPT’s labelers chosen, and how much did they agree?
    About 40 contractors selected by a screening test for sensitivity to different demographic groups’ preferences and for spotting harmful outputs. Training labelers agreed 72.6% of the time; held-out labelers (not screened, no training data) 77.3%.
