AR-BED trains a reasoning policy to choose questions in Twenty Questions instead of calculating Bayesian experimental design at inference time. It rewards expected information gain over targets and answers, including information from later turns, and updates the policy with GRPO. AR-BED has the highest solve rate in four tested categories; a separately trained policy improves on simulated MediQ cases.
