Most pipelines implement it by comparing teacher and student log-probabilities only on the token the student actually sampled. The authors examine why this signal becomes unstable on long generations. 2. **[CriticSearch: Fine-Grained Credit Assignment for Search Agents via a Retrospective Critic](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-criticsearch-fine-grained-credit-assignment/)** *(2026 · 6 citations)* Search agents are LLMs that call a search engine across several reasoning turns. They are usually trained with reinforcement learning on a single outcome reward, so every query in a trajectory gets the same credit whether it helped or not. This sparse signal makes training slow and unstable, and it can cause reward… ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Dongbin Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dongbin-zhao/) ×2 - [Haohuan Huang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haohuan-huang/) ×2 - [Jiacai Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiacai-liu/) - [Qichao Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qichao-zhang/) - [Yaocheng Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yaocheng-zhang/) - [Yuqian Fu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yuqian-fu/) - [Zijie Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zijie-zhao/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 37 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [9 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yuanheng-zhu/cited-by/).
