Co-ReAct: Rubrics as Step-Level Collaborators for ReAct Agents
The paper introduces Co-ReAct, a framework that enhances ReAct agents by using rubrics as step-level guidance during multi-step reasoning tasks. This approach aims to improve the decision-making process of agents by providing targeted evidence-seeking and reasoning strategies. The results show that Co-ReAct consistently outperforms existing methods across various benchmarks.
- ▪Co-ReAct uses rubrics to guide agents in their decision-making process during inference.
- ▪The framework was tested on DeepResearchBench and SQA-CS-V2, showing significant improvements over traditional ReAct methods.
- ▪A dedicated rubric generator was trained to optimize the guidance provided to agents.
