arXiv:2608. 10869v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Worst-case multiclass bounds do not become smaller when the best classifier is already nearly correct: what is missing is an optimistic rate, a guarantee whose fluctuation scales with the oracle risk itself.

The study investigates how the composition of data during the mid‑training phase of language models affects performance across multiple domains. Experiments with Qwen3‑8B‑Base on five distinct KOR‑Bench domains show that moderate coverage (10%‑40%) yields the best per‑domain results, and that alignment passes cannot fully close the performance gaps created by mid‑training data choices. Additionally, zero coverage in mid‑training severely degrades accuracy, while a carefully tuned allocation can provide the largest overall pipeline improvement.

The paper investigates how per-domain data composition during the mid‑training phase (between pre‑training and alignment) affects model performance. Experiments with Qwen3‑8B‑Base across five KOR‑Bench domains show that a moderate coverage band (10%‑40%) yields the best performance for each domain, and that alignment passes cannot fully close the gaps created by suboptimal mid‑training allocations. Additionally, zero coverage during mid‑training severely degrades accuracy, while a carefully tuned allocation can provide the largest overall pipeline improvement.
