Incentivizing Agentic Reasoning in LLM Judges via Tool-Integrated Reinforcement Learning

Ran Xu, Jingjing Chen, Jiayu Ye +4

Large Language Models (LLMs) are widely used as judges to evaluate response quality, providing a scalable alternative to human evaluation. However, most LLM judges operate solely o…

AceSearcher: Bootstrapping Reasoning and Search for LLMs via Reinforced Self-Play

Ran Xu, Yuchen Zhuang, Zihan Dong +7

Search-augmented LLMs often struggle with complex reasoning tasks due to ineffective multi-hop retrieval and limited reasoning ability. We propose AceSearcher, a cooperative self-p…
