Contextual Information Policy Optimization for Search Agents
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.06128v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Search agents extend large language models beyond static parametric memory by enabling them to acquire and use external evidence during multi-step reasoning. For knowledge-intensive tasks involving complex or evolving information, their reliability depends not only on retrieving relevant evidence but also on using it to guide subsequent reasoning. However, existing methods primarily reward final-answer correctness or intermediate progress, without directly assessing whether post-retrieval actions are grounded in the retrieved evidence. This m
