ABC Framework for Long-Horizon Search Agent Training
August 4, 2026
The Answer-Backtracked Credit Assignment (ABC) framework converts sparse trajectory-level outcomes into dense step-level supervision. It allows training agents to reward useful actions within failed trajectories while suppressing redundant or erroneous steps during SFT and RL.
