Human-in-the-Loop: AI Training and RLHF
Shape Smarter AI—Harness Human Feedback for Safer, Aligned Intelligence
Early access to e-LMS included
About This Course
Human-in-the-Loop: AI Training and RLHF is a cutting-edge course that focuses on the crucial role of human feedback in enhancing AI performance, safety, and ethical behavior. As models become more autonomous and powerful (e.g., LLMs, recommendation engines), aligning their behavior with human expectations is essential. This program explores the theory and application of RLHF, HITL data annotation cycles, reward modeling, and feedback loop design—enabling participants to build scalable and robust AI systems with meaningful human oversight.
Aim
To equip AI professionals with advanced knowledge and hands-on skills to build, train, and fine-tune AI models using Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) methodologies and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), enabling the development of aligned, responsible, and adaptive AI systems.
Program Objectives
-
To demystify and operationalize RLHF for practical model alignment
-
To enhance participant capability in designing human-guided AI systems
-
To reduce hallucinations, toxicity, and bias in large-scale models
-
To promote the development of trustworthy and ethically grounded AI systems
