Harness-1: Reinforcement Learning for Search Agents with State-Externalizing Harnesses

Pengcheng Jiang, Zhiyi Shi, Kelly Hong +5

Search agents are often trained as policies over growing transcripts: the model must decide how to search while also remembering what it has seen, which evidence is useful, which c…

Masking Stale Observations Helps Search Agents -- Until It Doesn't: A Regime Map and Its Mechanism

Haoxiang Zhang, Qixin Xu, Zhuofeng Li +4

Long-horizon search agents accumulate large amounts of retrieved content across many tool calls, making context-budget efficiency increasingly important. A minimal intervention is…

Learning to Predict Future-Aligned Research Proposals with Language Models

Heng Wang, Pengcheng Jiang, Jiashuo Sun +4

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to assist ideation in research, but evaluating the quality of LLM-generated research proposals remains difficult: novelty and sou…

Retrieval is Cheap, Show Me the Code: Executable Multi-Hop Reasoning for Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Jiashuo Sun, Jimeng Shi, Yixuan Xie +10

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become a standard approach for knowledge-intensive question answering, but existing systems remain brittle on multi-hop questions, where so…

s3: You Don't Need That Much Data to Train a Search Agent via RL

Pengcheng Jiang, Xueqiang Xu, Jiacheng Lin +4

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems empower large language models (LLMs) to access external knowledge during inference. Recent advances have enabled LLMs to act as search…
