Clearing the Fog: Towards Installing and Refining Proactive Exploration Capabilities in LLM Agents

Excerpt

arXiv:2608.14339v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study proactive exploration in LLM agents, i.e., the ability to explore an environment to acquire information that improves future decision-making. In this regard, we first identify two fundamental bottlenecks that hinder this capability and then propose \ours, a novel method designed to instill and refine proactive exploration. Specifically, \ours\ consists of two components: (1) Exploratory Data Construction, which synthesizes exploration-rich
