Data-Centric Post-Training for Financial Reasoning: Mining, Distillation, and Verifiable Learning

Excerpt

arXiv:2609.10113v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Financial text, textbooks, and question-answer pairs are abundant, but only a small fraction is directly usable for reasoning-focused post-training. Existing QA pairs often lack explicit reasoning, sufficient context, or reliably verifiable answers, while textbooks must first be transformed into synthetic training examples. We present a data-centric pipeline that constructs complementary corpora by mining open-source reasoning traces, distilling fi
