Beneficial Reasoning Behaviors in Agentic Search and Effective Training Methods to Obtain Them (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Agentic search requires large language models to perform multi-step searches to solve complex information needs. |
| Approach: | They propose a training approach that equips agentic search models with reasoning behaviors before reinforcement learning (RL) they compare successful and failed trajectories and propose supervised fine-tuning and standard RL . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms direct RL by 37.2% on three web benchmarks and 6.2% on seven multi-hop QA benchmarks. |
