Reason in Chains, Learn in Trees: Self-Rectification and Grafting for Multi-turn Agent Policy Optimization

Researchers propose T-STAR, a novel reinforcement learning framework that structures multi-step agent trajectories as trees rather than independent chains, enabling better credit assignment for LLM agents. The method uses tree-based reward propagation and surgical policy optimization to improve reasoning performance across embodied, interactive, and planning tasks.
