Life of Research Long-term memory systems for conversational assistants are compared almost entirely on question-answering benchmarks that ask for a fact stated somewhere in a long history. A 2026 benchmark for what its authors call memory utilization reports that strength on those…

A Stable Attribution Is Not a Stable Error Rate: What Feature-Attribution Monitoring Can See Under Drift, Why 'More Sensitive Than the Inputs' and 'Silent While Fairness Fails' Are Both Correct, and the Label-Free Statistic the Fairness Alarm Needed
Life of Research Deployed classifiers are often monitored without labels, and feature attributions are one of the signals watched: a production monitoring service alerts when the ranking of SHAP attributions moves, and one line of work argues that the explanation space is more sensitive…
