MetaRAG: Belief-Action Aligned Policy Optimization for Agentic RAG
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.24214v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) requires language models to decide when to continue searching and when to answer. Existing RL-based methods rely on external supervision and overlook the agent's internal belief about whether the current evidence is sufficient. To address this problem, we reformulate the search decision quality as belief-action alignment and propose MetaRAG, a belief-action aligned policy optimization framework for agentic RAG. MetaRAG uses Verify-first Action Generation to elicit an explicit verification process befor
