# RLHF Feedback System Implementation Summary
2+
3+
## Overview
4+
5+
A complete Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) system has been implemented for the Sentrius platform. This system allows human operators to provide feedback on agent behavior, which is automatically processed to:
6+
7+
1. **Update Trust Scores**: Feedback contributes as a new dimension to agent trust scoring
8+
2. **Learn Behaviors**: System automatically generates learned behavior patterns
9+
3. **Propagate to Future Generations**: Child agents inherit feedback-based behaviors from parents
10+
4. **Improve Decision Making**: Feedback influences future agent actions through memory and trust scores
11+
12+
## What Was Implemented
13+
14+
### 1. Core Feedback System (Java)
15+
16+
**Location**: `core/`, `dataplane/`
17+
18+
- **FeedbackType Enum**: 4 feedback types (POSITIVE, NEGATIVE, CORRECTIVE, NEUTRAL)
19+
- **AgentFeedback Entity**: JPA entity with comprehensive indexing for performance
20+
- **AgentFeedbackRepository**: Advanced repository with 10+ query methods
21+
- **AgentFeedbackService**: Full CRUD operations for feedback management
22+
- **Database Schema**: New `agent_feedback` table with 4 optimized indexes
23+
24+
### 2. RLHF Processing Engine (Java)
25+
26+
**Location**: `dataplane/src/main/java/io/sentrius/sso/core/services/feedback/`
27+
28+
- **RLHFFeedbackService**: Core RLHF logic including:
29+
- Scheduled processing every 5 minutes (@Scheduled)
30+
- Trust score impact calculation with time decay
31+
- Automatic behavior pattern generation (≥3 feedback threshold)
32+
- Feedback-to-memory translation with vector embeddings
33+
- Statistics aggregation and analytics
34+
35+
### 3. Trust Score Integration (Java)
36+
37+
**Location**: `core/`, `analytics/`
38+
39+
- **Extended AgentContext**: Added `feedbackScore` field and `evaluateFeedback()` method
40+
- **Updated TrustScoreCalculator**: Incorporated feedback as 5th scoring dimension
41+
- **Enhanced TrustEvaluationService**: Integrated RLHFFeedbackService (optional dependency)
42+
- **Updated AgentTrustScoreHistory**: Added `feedback_score` column to database
43+
44+
**Trust Score Formula**:
45+
```
46+
TrustScore = (identity_weight * identity_score) +
47+
(provenance_weight * provenance_score) +
48+
(runtime_weight * runtime_score) +
49+
(behavior_weight * behavior_score) +
50+
(feedback_weight * feedback_score)
51+
```
52+
53+
### 4. Generational Learning Integration (Java)
54+
55+
**Location**: `dataplane/src/main/java/io/sentrius/sso/core/services/agents/`
56+
57+
- **Extended LearningService**: Added `inheritFeedbackPatterns()` method
58+
- Inherits up to 50 behavior patterns from parent
59+
- Patterns marked as `INHERITED` and `RLHF`
60+
- Stored in child's memory namespace
61+
- **GenerationManager Integration**: Automatic feedback pattern propagation during generation creation
62+
63+
### 5. REST API (Java)
64+
65+
**Location**: `api/src/main/java/io/sentrius/sso/controllers/api/`
66+
67+
**FeedbackApiController** with 9 endpoints:
68+
- `POST /api/v1/feedback/submit` - Submit feedback
69+
- `GET /api/v1/feedback/agent/{agentId}` - Get all feedback
70+
- `GET /api/v1/feedback/agent/{agentId}/type/{type}` - Filter by type
71+
- `GET /api/v1/feedback/agent/{agentId}/category/{category}` - Filter by category
72+
- `GET /api/v1/feedback/agent/{agentId}/statistics` - Aggregated stats
73+
- `GET /api/v1/feedback/recent` - Recent feedback (all agents)
74+
- `GET /api/v1/feedback/unprocessed` - Unprocessed (admin only)
75+
- `DELETE /api/v1/feedback/{feedbackId}` - Delete feedback
76+
- `GET /api/v1/feedback/agents` - List agents with feedback
77+
78+
### 6. User Interface (HTML/JavaScript)
79+
80+
**Location**: `api/src/main/resources/templates/sso/`
81+
82+
**Enhanced Agent Trust Score Page** with:
83+
- **Feedback Submission Form**:
84+
- Feedback type selector (dropdown)
85+
- Behavior category input
86+
- Detailed feedback text area
87+

89+
90+

92+
- Timestamp and provider information
93+
- Processing status indicators
94+
- Delete button for each entry
95+
- Limited to most recent 10 entries
96+
97+
- **Feedback Score Display**:
98+
- New "Feedback (RLHF)" metric in trust score dashboard
99+
- Real-time display of feedback score (0-100)
100+
- Updates every 30 seconds
101+
102+
### 7. Python Agent Integration
103+
104+
**Location**: `python-agent/`
105+
106+
**FeedbackClientService** (`services/feedback_client_service.py`):
107+
- Complete Python client for all feedback API operations
108+
- FeedbackType enum matching Java implementation
109+
- Dataclasses for type-safe API communication
110+
- Full error handling and logging
111+
- Examples of all operations
112+
113+
**SentriusAgent Integration**:
114+
- FeedbackClientService initialized in SentriusAgent constructor
115+
- Available as `agent.feedback_client_service`
116+
- Ready to use in all Python-based agents
117+
118+
**Example Script** (`examples/feedback_example.py`):
119+
- Demonstrates feedback submission
120+
- Shows statistics retrieval
121+
- Illustrates feedback history access
122+
- Provides usage patterns for common operations
123+
124+
### 8. Documentation

## How It Works
146+
147+
### Feedback Flow
148+
149+
1. **Submission**: User submits feedback via UI or API
150+
- Feedback stored in database with automatic weight calculation
151+
- Marked as unprocessed
152+
153+
2. **Processing** (every 5 minutes):
154+
- RLHFFeedbackService finds unprocessed feedback
155+
- Calculates trust score impact with time decay
156+
- Stores feedback as semantic memory with embeddings
157+
- Marks feedback as processed
158+
159+
3. **Behavior Learning** (when threshold met):
160+
- Groups feedback by behavior category
161+
- Generates behavior patterns (≥3 feedback items)
162+
- Stores patterns as semantic memory
163+
- Patterns marked with sentiment (REINFORCE/DISCOURAGE/NEUTRAL)
164+
165+
4. **Trust Score Update** (every 5 minutes):
166+
- TrustEvaluationService recalculates trust scores
167+
- Includes feedback score as new dimension
168+
- Stores updated score in history
169+
170+
5. **Generational Propagation** (on child creation):
171+
- GenerationManager calls LearningService.bootstrapFromParent()
172+
- Behavior patterns transferred to child agent
173+
- Patterns marked as INHERITED
174+
175+
### Feedback Score Calculation
176+
177+
```python
178+
# Recent feedback within 30-day window
179+
for feedback in recent_feedback:
180+
# Calculate time decay
181+
days_since = (now - feedback.timestamp).days
182+
decay_factor = exp(-days_since / 30.0)
183+
184+
# Apply weighted reinforcement
185+
weight = feedback.reinforcement_weight # -1.0 to 1.0
186+
weighted_value = weight * decay_factor * 50.0 # Scale to 0-100
187+
188+
# Accumulate
189+
total_weight += abs(weight) * decay_factor
190+
weighted_sum += weighted_value
191+
192+
# Normalize to 0-100 range
193+
feedback_score = 50.0 + (weighted_sum / total_weight)
194+
feedback_score = max(0.0, min(100.0, feedback_score))
195+
```
196+
197+
### Trust Impact by Feedback Type
198+
199+
| Type | Reinforcement Weight | Trust Impact | Behavior Effect |
200+
|------|---------------------|--------------|-----------------|
201+
| POSITIVE | +1.0 | +2 points | Reinforce |
202+
| NEGATIVE | -1.0 | -5 points | Discourage |
203+
| CORRECTIVE | +0.5 | +1 point | Adjust |
204+
| NEUTRAL | 0.0 | 0 points | Reference only |

317+
318+
## Performance
319+
320+
- **Scheduled Processing**: 5-minute intervals (not real-time)
321+
- **Database Indexes**: 4 indexes for optimal query performance
322+
- **Time Window**: 30-day feedback window reduces load
323+
- **Batch Processing**: Unprocessed feedback handled in batches
324+
- **Caching**: Statistics can be cached at application layer
325+
- **Vector Embeddings**: Stored for semantic search efficiency
326+
327+
