Which Tokens Should SFT Actually Learn? A Token-Trimming Perspective on Mathematical Reasoning

arXiv:2609.09707v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) applies a uniform cross-entropy loss to all target tokens, even though different tokens provide unequal learning signals for mathematical reasoning. This uniform treatment can over-sharpen already…
