Retrieval models for agentic search should be trained directly from agent interaction data using a new paradigm that mines supervision from multi-step agent trajectories and incorporates relevance intensity through weighted optimization. Information retrieval (IR) systems...

Problem

Extensive experiments on both in-domain and out-of-domain deep research benchmarks demonstrate that retrievers trained with LRAT consistently improve evidence recall , end-to-end task success , and execution efficiency across diverse agent architectures...

Method

We introduce learning to retrieve from agent trajectories as a new training paradigm, where supervision is derived from multi-step agent interactions.

Results

Through a systematic analysis of search agent trajectories , we identify key behavioral signals that reveal document utility, including browsing actions, unbrowsed rejections, and post-browse reasoning traces.

Watch-outs

The summary does not include concrete numbers, so the practical size of the gain and the tradeoff against latency or data cost are still unclear.

Problem

Extensive experiments on both in-domain and out-of-domain deep research benchmarks demonstrate that retrievers trained with LRAT consistently improve evidence recall , end-to-end task success , and execution efficiency across diverse agent architectures...

Method

We introduce learning to retrieve from agent trajectories as a new training paradigm, where supervision is derived from multi-step agent interactions.

Results

Through a systematic analysis of search agent trajectories , we identify key behavioral signals that reveal document utility, including browsing actions, unbrowsed rejections, and post-browse reasoning traces.
