End-to-End Pipeline: From Data to Reward¶

1. Overview¶

This notebook demonstrates a complete workflow following these steps:

• Data Preparation - Load dataset from source and split into training (for AutoPrinciple) and test sets

• Reward Definition - Define reward function based on generated principles

• Reward Testing - Evaluate reward function on test set

2. Setup¶

3. Data Preparation¶

We'll start by loading our dataset using the flexible data loading module. You can read more from Data Loading.

In [ ]:

# Implementation by creating base class
from rm_gallery.core.data.load.base import create_loader
import rm_gallery.core.data     # Core strategy registration
import rm_gallery.gallery.data  # Extended strategy registration


# Configure local file loading parameters
config = {
    "path": "./data/reward-bench-2/data/test-00000-of-00001.parquet",
    "limit": 100,  # Limit the number of data items to load
}

# Create data loader
loader = create_loader(
    name="rewardbench2",           # Dataset name
    load_strategy_type="local",    # Use local file loading strategy
    data_source="rewardbench2",    # Specify data source format converter
    config=config                  # Pass configuration parameters
)

# Execute data loading
dataset = loader.run()

# Output dataset size
print(f"Successfully loaded {len(dataset)} data items")

# Implementation by creating base class from rm_gallery.core.data.load.base import create_loader import rm_gallery.core.data # Core strategy registration import rm_gallery.gallery.data # Extended strategy registration # Configure local file loading parameters config = { "path": "./data/reward-bench-2/data/test-00000-of-00001.parquet", "limit": 100, # Limit the number of data items to load } # Create data loader loader = create_loader( name="rewardbench2", # Dataset name load_strategy_type="local", # Use local file loading strategy data_source="rewardbench2", # Specify data source format converter config=config # Pass configuration parameters ) # Execute data loading dataset = loader.run() # Output dataset size print(f"Successfully loaded {len(dataset)} data items")

Successfully loaded 100 data items

In [ ]:

# split data
from rm_gallery.core.utils.file import split_samples

train_samples, test_samples = split_samples(dataset.datasamples)

print(f"Training set size: {len(train_samples)}")
print(f"Test set size: {len(test_samples)}")

# split data from rm_gallery.core.utils.file import split_samples train_samples, test_samples = split_samples(dataset.datasamples) print(f"Training set size: {len(train_samples)}") print(f"Test set size: {len(test_samples)}")

Training set size: 10
Test set size: 90

4. Define Reward (Safety Scenario Example)¶

We'll demonstrate three approaches to define reward functions using a safety evaluation scenario:

1. Predefined Reward - Use built-in reward templates.
2. Auto Principle Generation - Generate safety principles from training data.
3. Custom Reward - Implement custom evaluation logic.

In [ ]:

# Initialize Openao LLM client (can be replaced with other LLM implementations)
llm = OpenaiLLM(
    model="qwen3-235b-a22b",
    enable_thinking=True
)

# Initialize Openao LLM client (can be replaced with other LLM implementations) llm = OpenaiLLM( model="qwen3-235b-a22b", enable_thinking=True )

4.1. Use Predefined Reward from Gallery¶

For additional application scenarios (helpfulness, honesty, etc.), see Ready-to-Use Rewards

In [ ]:

# Using built-in helpfulness template
from rm_gallery.core.reward.registry import RewardRegistry

predefined_reward_module = RewardRegistry.get("safety_listwise_reward")(
    name="safety_predefined",
    llm=llm,
)

# Using built-in helpfulness template from rm_gallery.core.reward.registry import RewardRegistry predefined_reward_module = RewardRegistry.get("safety_listwise_reward")( name="safety_predefined", llm=llm, )

4.2. Auto Principles Reward Generated from Training Set¶

See more configuration in Auto Principle.

In [ ]:

# Initialize principle generator
principle_generator = AutoPrincipleGenerator(
    llm=llm,
    scenario="chat assistant evaluation",
    generate_number=5,  # Generate up to 5 principles per sample
    cluster_number=3    # Cluster to 3 final principles
)

# Initialize principle generator principle_generator = AutoPrincipleGenerator( llm=llm, scenario="chat assistant evaluation", generate_number=5, # Generate up to 5 principles per sample cluster_number=3 # Cluster to 3 final principles )

In [ ]:

import concurrent.futures

# Create thread pool executor
with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=16) as executor:
    # Generate principles across training set
    principles = principle_generator.run_batch(train_samples[:10], executor)
    
print("Generated Principles:")
for i, (key, value) in enumerate(principles.items(), 1):
    print(f"{i}. {key}: {value}")

import concurrent.futures # Create thread pool executor with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=16) as executor: # Generate principles across training set principles = principle_generator.run_batch(train_samples[:10], executor) print("Generated Principles:") for i, (key, value) in enumerate(principles.items(), 1): print(f"{i}. {key}: {value}")

Generated Principles:
1. Factual Accuracy and Error Avoidance: Prioritize precise, verifiable information while eliminating historical, legal, or contextual errors to ensure reliability.
2. Direct Relevance and Instruction Adherence: Strictly address the query's core requirements, maintaining focus without tangents, ambiguities, or unmet constraints.
3. Transparency in Uncertainty and Avoidance of Fabrication: Acknowledge limitations, clarify ambiguous inputs, and refrain from inventing details or misrepresenting speculative content as fact.

from rm_gallery.gallery.rm.alignment.base import BaseHarmlessnessListWiseReward

generated_reward_module = BaseHarmlessnessListWiseReward(
    name="safety_generated",
    principles=[f"{key}: {value}" for key, value in principles.items()],
    llm=llm
)

from rm_gallery.gallery.rm.alignment.base import BaseHarmlessnessListWiseReward generated_reward_module = BaseHarmlessnessListWiseReward( name="safety_generated", principles=[f"{key}: {value}" for key, value in principles.items()], llm=llm )

5. Test Reward Function on Test Set¶

Now we'll evaluate our reward function on the test set and collect results.

    return sum(labels) / len(labels)
