ITER: Interaction-Aware Retrieval for Agentic Search

- 用主问题和之前子查询共同表示当前查询,增强上下文理解。
- 在两个评测集上平均提升7.5%至13.5%,优于现有方法。
- 适合构建多轮智能搜索系统的研究者与开发者使用。
深度研究代理通过迭代搜索步骤回答复杂问题,自主生成子查询以获取每一步所需证据。然而,现有检索器训练仅依赖当前子查询及其结果,忽视了前期交互积累的信息。本文提出ITER,一种基于代理轨迹学习信号的交互感知稠密检索器。ITER通过融合主问题、当前子查询及先前子查询来表示查询,并利用来自代理交互的轨迹相对学习信号进行训练。在三种模型家族的六种代理骨架上,ITER consistently 超越现有轨迹训练检索器LRAT,InfoSeek-Eval上平均提升7.5%,BrowseComp-Plus上提升13.5%。此外,ITER在跨代理鲁棒性上优于依赖外部LLM判断信号的AgentIR。消融实验表明,主问题和先前子查询提供最稳健的查询表示,而先前访问且有用的文档作为后续搜索的冗余负样本,提供最强轨迹相对监督信号。代码已开源:https://github.com/ielab/ITER。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep-research agents answer complex user questions through an iterative sequence of search steps, where the agent autonomously formulates sub-queries to retrieve the evidence needed at each stage. However, existing retriever training typically relies only on the sub-query and its corresponding search results at the current step as training signals, leaving the information accumulated from previous interactions largely underutilized. We introduce iter, an agent interaction-aware dense retriever trained using agent trajectory learning signals. iter represents each query by incorporating not only the current sub-query, but also the main question and preceding sub-queries, and is trained using trajectory-relative learning signals derived from the agent's interactions. Across six agent backbones from three model families, iter consistently outperforms the existing agent-trajectory-trained dense retriever, LRAT, achieving an average improvement of 7.5% on InfoSeek-Eval and 13.5% on BrowseComp-Plus. iter also demonstrates stronger cross-agent robustness than AgentIR, a deep-research retriever that relies on external LLM-judge signals and the agent's pre-search reasoning. Ablations further show that the main question and previous sub-queries provide the most robust query representation, while previously visited and useful documents, used as redundancy negatives in subsequent searches, provide the strongest trajectory-relative supervision.
