Dense retrieval models are typically trained with contrastive objectives that learn effective representations but do not directly optimize retrieval metrics or downstream task performance. To address this problem, we introduce RELER (REinforcement LEarning for Retrieval), a reinforcement learning framework that enables...

RankBuffer is introduced, which maintains an ordered, query-specific buffer of previously judged responses as a reusable quality scale that achieves nearly on-par performance with the strongest ranking-based reward baseline while substantially reducing judging cost.

By systematically characterizing the search behavior and failure modes of long-horizon search agents, this work points to practical directions for building better deep research systems, including stronger query formulation, more effective evidence selection and context management, and stopping criteria based on whether...

Fetch-then-Explore is proposed, which separates page selection from evidence extraction and keeps what it selects: pages are recorded in a per-question workspace on the filesystem rather than the context window or a transient session, and evidence is pulled from them on demand later.

SearchArt is introduced, a scalable framework for training long-horizon search agents through verification-driven task synthesis and a multi-stage post-training pipeline, which exhibits adaptive search planning, iterative evidence aggregation, and complex reasoning over extended interaction horizons.
