## Reward Design Study
- The goal is to improve a dialogue model’s ability to engage in natural conversation with a human by learning from the implicit signals in the response.
- We noted that psychologists have identified:
1. the importance of **emotion** in creating a <font color="#3338FF">sense of understanding</font>;

2. **asking questions** is an important active <font color="#3338FF">listening skill</font>;

3. eliciting longer conversations can be a <font color="#3338FF">signal of engagement</font>;

4. **reducing repetition** and increasing specificity on the part of the model can improve conversation quality;

5. **prevent** models from generating **harmful outputs**.
