SARL Framework for Search-State Awareness in RAG LLMs
October 20, 2026
SARL implements a reinforcement learning framework that teaches retrieval-augmented models to recognize their own search state during training. This reduces hallucinations and premature search termination by rewarding models for identifying missing information without requiring extra test-time assessment.
