Researchers have introduced SCOUT, a novel paradigm for long-text understanding that focuses on active information foraging rather than passive processing. This approach treats documents as explorable environments, enabling models to efficiently locate query-relevant information and reduce computational costs. SCOUT achieves this by adaptively exploring documents and updating its knowledge state, leading to significant reductions in token consumption while maintaining high fidelity. AI
