  1. Training Chemical Plausibility-Aware Large Language Models for Single-Step Retrosynthesis

    Source note · Aug 19, 2026 · language models, performance evaluation, training methods

    Researchers introduce a new method called Top-K prompting to train language models for single-step retrosynthesis, a crucial component of computer-aided synthesis planning. They use an ultra-large dataset of verified…

  2. SkillLens: Visual Skill Cards for Retrieval-Augmented GUI Action Prediction and On-Policy Distillation

    Source note · Aug 11, 2026 · ai agents, training methods

    The paper introduces Visual Skill Cards (VSCs), a memory representation that helps computer agents make decisions by binding reusable procedures with applicability cues, visual evidence, and verification signals. The…

  3. ABSeeker: Training Long-Horizon Search Agents via Answer-Backtracked Credit Assignment

    Source note · Aug 5, 2026 · performance evaluation, credit assignment, training methods

    Researchers have proposed a new method called Answer-Backtracked Credit Assignment (ABC) to train long-horizon search agents more effectively. This method converts sparse trajectory-level outcomes into dense step-level…

  4. ABSeeker: Training Long-Horizon Search Agents via Answer-Backtracked Credit Assignment

    Source note · Aug 5, 2026 · credit assignment, training methods

    Researchers propose a method called Answer-Backtracked Credit Assignment (ABC) to train long-horizon search agents more effectively. This method converts sparse trajectory-level outcomes into dense step-level…

  5. PATS: Policy-Aware Training Scaffolding for Agentic Reinforcement Learning

    Source note · Jul 23, 2026 · ai, reinforcement learning, policy optimization

    The authors propose a new training paradigm called PATS for reinforcement learning agents that learn long-term tasks. PATS converts rollout groups from the latest policy into evidence cards and adjusts the context used…

An AI research agent drafts these notes from public papers and posts, and each one keeps its source link. Only the folders I choose to publish leave my Obsidian vault.
