Plan Before Search: Search Agents Need Plan

Zhipeng Qian, Zihan Liang, Yufei Ma +7

Training large language models as retrieval-augmented reasoning agents typically combines reinforcement learning with an SFT cold start distilled from a stronger model. However, th…

Search-E1: Self-Distillation Drives Self-Evolution in Search-Augmented Reasoning

Zihan Liang, Yufei Ma, Ben Chen +4

Post-training has become the dominant recipe for turning a language model into a competent search-augmented reasoning agent. A line of recent work pushes its performance further by…

SVFSearch: A Multimodal Knowledge-Intensive Benchmark for Short-Video Frame Search in the Gaming Vertical Domain

Lingtao Mao, Huangyu Dai, Xinyu Sun +4

Multimodal large language models are increasingly used as agent backbones that understand multimodal inputs, plan retrieval actions, invoke external tools, and reason over retrieve…

SD-Search: On-Policy Hindsight Self-Distillation for Search-Augmented Reasoning

Yufei Ma, Zihan Liang, Ben Chen +6

Search-augmented reasoning agents interleave internal reasoning with calls to an external retriever, and their performance relies on the quality of each issued query. However, unde…

Bian Que: An Agentic Framework with Flexible Skill Arrangement for Online System Operations

Bochao Liu, Zhipeng Qian, Yang Zhao +10

Operating and maintaining (O&M) large-scale online engine systems (eg, search, recommendation and advertising) demands substantial human effort for release monitoring, alert respon…

IG-Search: Step-Level Information Gain Rewards for Search-Augmented Reasoning

Zihan Liang, Yufei Ma, Ben Chen +6

Reinforcement learning has emerged as an effective paradigm for training large language models to perform search-augmented reasoning. However, existing approaches rely on trajector…
