Researchers have developed new methods for training long-horizon search agents, which are AI systems designed to perform complex, multi-step tasks. One approach, ABSeeker, uses Answer-Backtracked Credit Assignment (ABC) to provide more granular supervision by evaluating each search step against intermediate clues derived from the ground-truth answer. Another method, BiCAA, employs bidirectional credit assignment, fusing forward solvability gains with hindsight success criticality to generate dense process rewards. Both techniques aim to improve training stability and reduce redundant actions in search-augmented agents, with ABSeeker demonstrating strong performance on benchmarks like BrowseComp using a smaller model.
