Research Paper Overview
On the Generalization of SFT: A Reinforcement Learning Perspective with Reward Rectification
Summary
This paper introduces Dynamic Fine-Tuning (DFT), a theoretically motivated improvement to Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) for large language models. By dynamically rescaling the objective function based on token probability, DFT stabilizes gradient updates and rectifies problematic reward structures inherent in standard SFT. This simple modification significantly enhances generalization across benchmarks and base models, and also performs competitively in offline reinforcement learning settings, offering a practical and effective alternative to existing methods.
