Sparrow is not yet available for public use. Training a conversational AI is an especially challenging problem because it’s difficult to pinpoint what makes a dialogue successful. To address this problem, we turn to a form of reinforcement learning (RL) based on people's feedback, using the study participants’ preference feedback to train a model of how useful an answer is. To get this data, we show our participants multiple model answers to the same question and ask them which answer they like the most. -
