CuSearch framework enhances agentic RAG training with curriculum sampling

Researchers have developed CuSearch, a new framework for training agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems using Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR). This method addresses the issue of uniformly sampling trajectories by prioritizing deeper-search trajectories, which offer more informative supervision for the retrieval sub-policy. CuSearch utilizes Search-Depth Greedy Allocation (SDGA) to dynamically allocate update budgets towards these deeper trajectories, leading to improved performance, with experiments showing up to an 11.8 exact-match point improvement over standard GRPO on the ZeroSearch benchmark. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient training of agentic RAG systems, improving their ability to retrieve and utilize information.

    CuSearch: Curriculum Rollout Sampling via Search Depth for Agentic RAG

    arXiv:2605.11611v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has emerged as a promising paradigm for training agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems from outcome-only supervision. Most existing methods optimize policies f…
