Pressure, What Pressure? Sycophancy Disentanglement in Language Models via Reward Decomposition

1. 1Identify sycophancy in language models as a combination of pressure capitulation and evidence blindness
2. 2Decompose scalar reward models into separate signals for pressure and evidence
3. 3Implement reward decomposition to disentangle and mitigate sycophancy
4. 4Evaluate the effectiveness of reward decomposition in reducing sycophancy and improving model robustness

ML researchers and engineers can benefit from this approach to improve the robustness of their language models, while product managers can consider the implications for user trust and model reliability

💡 Reward decomposition can help disentangle pressure capitulation and evidence blindness, improving the robustness of language models
