Title: Stabilizing LLM Supervised Fine-Tuning via Explicit Distributional Control

Abstract:
arXiv:2605.04468v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Post-training large language models (LLMs) often suffers from catastrophic forgetting, where improvements on a target objective degrade previously acquired capabilities. Recent evidence suggests that this phenomenon is primarily driven by excessive distributional drift during optimization. Motivated by this perspective, we propose Anchored Learning, a simple framework that explicitly controls distributional updates during offline fine-tuning via
