GAPD: Gold-Action Policy Distillation for Agentic Reinforcement Learning in Knowledge Base Question Answering 文章

arXiv:2605.29584v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) is a natural fit for agentic knowledge base question answering (KBQA), where a model must issue executable actions, observe knowledge-base feedback, and eventually return an answer. However, current RL-based KBQA systems mainly optimize sparse rewards from the final answer, leaving intermediate action errors weakly supervised. This is especially limiting for logical-form annotated KBQA benchmarks: gold logical forms can be converted into executable action sequences, but existing pipelines use them mainly for warm-start data construction rather than for on-policy RL updates. We propose GAPD, a training-time Gold-Action Policy Distillation framework that adds dense token-level guidance to outcome-based RL.
