RDR2: Training the Router
① a tree, no traversal
→
② score-based, both ways
→
③ LLM-guided instead
→
④ traversal learned
→
⑤ multimodal
the obstacle · standard RAG data gives a question and an answer, but
no routing trajectory to imitate
action curation · manufacture the trajectories from the question alone
① a question
"who played
wonder woman?"
the answer is never used
so any question set works
② build the state
off-the-shelf retriever → top-k
their originating documents
→ retrieval subtree s
the same state the router sees at inference
③ a teacher writes the actions
DeepSeek-v3 · sees (q, s)
[EXP] 5: ===Television===
[ANS] 6,7: Cathy Lee Crosby…
[REF] −1
one step's worth of actions, not a full trajectory
④ the training set
⟨ q , s , A ⟩
ASQA training questions
23,827 samples
no human annotation anywhere
supervised fine-tuning · plain next-token prediction
ℒ = − log P(A | q, s)
cross-entropy on the output tokens only
Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct + LoRA · 3.5 epochs
trained on single steps, never on whole trajectories
the model learns "what to do in this state"; the iteration is left to inference
the output format carries the node id
"[ACTION] id: text_prefix" — every action is bound to a real node
