The paper introduces Golden-GRPO Injection (GRIN), a three-stage self‑learning framework that uses a mixed‑policy reinforcement learning algorithm to inject knowledge into large language models. GRIN injects a golden answer to provide learning signals even when on‑policy rollouts fail on novel facts, and is evaluated on two new document‑level benchmarks—Blank and Counter—that test novel acquisition and counterfactual overwrite. Experiments show that mixed‑policy RL enables knowledge absorption beyond what supervised fine‑tuning can achieve, with GRIN outperforming SFT and other RL baselines on harder question types while matching them on basic fact recall.

Large language model agents often encounter related yet distinct tasks that share reusable solution patterns. Yet standard agentic reinforcement learning treats tasks as independent episodes, while existing approaches to skill learning either focus on repeated attempts of one task or use pipelines with multiple stages that entangle extraction, retrieval, and execution.
The paper introduces BRIDGE, a bilevel optimization framework that jointly trains a large language model (LLM) and a retriever for agentic reinforcement learning (ARL). It demonstrates that adapting the retriever before the policy yields better rewards, and that BRIDGE outperforms existing methods on seven open‑domain QA benchmarks and medical QA tasks, achieving significant gains in accuracy and reasoning quality.

AgenticRag‑R1 is a reinforcement‑learning framework that integrates reasoning, retrieval, and memory through a stack and fine‑grained action space. It uses hierarchical action‑aware rewards and an information‑aware trajectory rejection strategy to support long‑horizon learning. Experiments on multi‑hop, open‑domain, and agentic reasoning benchmarks show that AgenticRag‑R1 outperforms strong baselines and produces robust, interpretable, memory‑aware reasoning behaviors.
