Recall Isn't Enough: Bounding Commitments in Personalized Language Systems
The paper discusses the limitations of current personalized language systems, particularly in how they handle commitments. It introduces a new method called Contract-Bounded Evidence Activation (CBEA) combined with Lexicographic Commitment Validation (LCV) to improve system reliability. The results show that this approach significantly reduces failures compared to traditional methods.
- ▪Current personalized language systems often fail when making commitments, leading to issues such as dropping rare witnesses and forgetting obligations.
- ▪The proposed CBEA+LCV method achieves zero failures within validator scope with an availability of 0.49-0.60 over attempted runs.
- ▪In contrast, traditional methods reach zero failures only at a much lower availability of 0.003-0.092.

In practice, many failures occur later, when a system commits: it turns noisy hints into hard constraints, drops rare witnesses, forgets downstream obligations, or answers despite infeasibility.
