Paper Proposes Self-Certification of Representation Adequacy for Agents
A new arXiv paper examines a structural risk for agents that act on compressed summaries of their history: when the summary conflates histories that call for different optimal actions, no decision rule defined over that summary can avoid a persistent per-round loss. The authors propose sequential self-certification of representation adequacy, framed around achieving minimum task loss. The work is cross-listed in cs.AI and cs.LG.
