PairwiseRM

This repo is the official implementation of the paper "Pairwise RM: Perform Best-of-N Sampling with Knockout Tournament".

Repository Structure

• data/: contains the datasets used in the experiments.
• pairwise/: contains the source code of PairwiseRM.
• pairwise/compare_resp.py: contains the implementation of PairwiseRM.
• pairwise/knockout.py: contains the implementation of Knockout Tournament.

The checkpoint of our PairwiseRM model is coming soon. Stay tuned!

Before that you can run the code will online llm api like gpt4o,claude-3.5-sonnet or gemini-1.5-flash

for example:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$(pwd)

# Define the input file
input_file=data/math-500/LLaMA-3.1-8B-Instruction_64.json

# Define the prompt template
prompt_template=prompts/compare_0_ex.md

# Define the base URL and API key
judge_model=gpt-4o
base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1"
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY"

# Run the Python script with the appropriate arguments
python pairwise/knockout.py \
    --model $judge_model \
    --input $input_file \
    --prompt_template $prompt_template \
    --base_url $base_url \
    --api_key $api_key \
    -n 64
