Question Begets Question: Self-Evolving Curriculum for Reinforcement Fine-Tuning on Competition Mathematics
This work proposes a self-evolving curriculum that, each round, evaluates the current checkpoint, seeds QbQ from the problems it can mostly get right, and trains on the resulting variants; under an identical data budget, this breaks the ceiling and lifts pass@1 to 16.5\% with no sign of saturation after 20 rounds.
