Dynamic Important Example Mining for Reinforcement Finetuning
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.29252v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) is increasingly used to strengthen the reasoning abilities of large models, yet its effectiveness is bound by how training data are selected and used. Most data-centric RFT methods rely on static or heuristic sample selection, implicitly assuming a sample's value is fixed over training. This overlooks the non-stationary dynamics of policy learning and can lead to suboptimal updates. We propose Dynamic Important Example Mining (DIEM), a principled and fully automated framework that makes data utilization adaptive th
