1. CriticSearch: Fine-Grained Credit Assignment for Search Agents via a Retrospective Critic (2026 · 6 citations)
   Search agents are LLMs that call a search engine across several reasoning turns. They are usually trained with reinforcement learning on a single outcome reward, so every query in a trajectory gets the same credit whether it helped or not. This sparse signal makes training slow and unstable, and it can cause reward…
2. AutoSearch: Adaptive Search Depth for Efficient Agentic RAG via Reinforcement Learning (2026)
   Agentic RAG systems let LLMs call a retriever over several turns, but agents often keep searching after they already have enough evidence.
