Researchers have introduced Epistemic Decision Processes (EDPs), a new framework for multi-turn language agents that explicitly models information-seeking behavior. This approach aims to improve agent adaptivity by focusing on actions that are useful under the current belief state, rather than solely correlating with eventual task success. A new algorithm called ECHO (Epistemic Credit for History-Conditioned Optimization) was developed to assign turn-level credit using posterior-sensitive rewards, demonstrating significant improvements in resolution, information gain, and efficiency on a novel evidence-seeking benchmark.
