Explainable AML Triage with LLMs: Evidence Retrieval and Counterfactual Checks

arXiv:2604. 19755v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Anti-money laundering (AML) transaction monitoring generates large volumes of alerts that must be rapidly triaged by investigators under strict audit and governance constraints.

No Judgment Without a Reason: Counterfactual Receipts for Versioned AI Evaluators

The paper introduces a framework for evaluating AI systems that not only checks final labels but also tracks the reasoning behind them through three core sources—grounds, norms, and authority—forming an eight-cell counterfactual judgment cube. It defines minimal source replacement sets, called judgment receipts, to explain changes in verdicts and provides certification cost bounds for black-box evaluators. The authors present ReasonBench, a benchmark with 19,520 cases, and demonstrate that while high standard accuracy can mask robustness issues, receipt accuracy reveals significant gaps in reasoning consistency across different models.

FinRCA-Bench: Benchmarking Evidence Retrieval and Reasoning for Financial AI Systems

FinRCA-Bench is a synthetic benchmark designed to evaluate evidence retrieval and reasoning in financial AI systems, specifically for accounts‑payable‑to‑bank reconciliation. It contains 2,250 cases across 14 operational tables, with 1,500 injected failures in 15 causal categories and 750 hard‑negative cases, and hides root‑cause labels and evidence contracts to isolate retrieval performance. Experiments show that retrieval architecture dramatically affects accuracy, with structured retrieval methods like Typed Provenance Graph Retrieval vastly improving macro‑recall and exact‑class accuracy compared to dense semantic retrieval or classical ML.

FinRCA-Bench: Benchmarking Evidence Retrieval and Reasoning for Financial AI Systems

FinRCA-Bench is a deterministic synthetic benchmark comprising 2,250 accounts‑payable‑to‑bank reconciliation cases that span 14 operational tables and include 1,500 injected failures across 15 causal categories. The benchmark hides root‑cause labels and record‑level evidence contracts from models, enabling independent evaluation of evidence retrieval versus reasoning accuracy. Experiments show that retrieval architecture dramatically influences performance, with retrieval improvements raising macro‑required‑record recall from 0.83% to 77.70% and exact 16‑class accuracy from 2.05% to 72.44%.

CLAIR-Fin: An Adversarial Multi-Agent Framework for Claim-Level Verification and Adaptive Debate in Cross-Modal Financial QA

arXiv:2608. 13706v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing defenses against hallucination in retrieval-augmented and multi-agent pipelines remain partial: evidence is trusted despite modality disagreement, debate verifies an aggregate report rather than individual claims, and such verification occurs only after drafting, leaving inter-agent errors undetected until the final text.

CARGO: Context-Aware Retrieval-Gated Evaluation of Agentic AI in Production

CARGO is a framework for evaluating agentic AI systems in production that addresses the problem of reference-instance divergence (RID), where reference-based judges penalize correct answers that involve different entity identifiers. It treats retrieved references as procedural exemplars, grounds judgments in the live instance’s context, assigns a three-way status to claims, and gates evaluation by retrieval confidence. Using the CARGO-Bench diagnostic suite, CARGO eliminates false penalties and improves discrimination while revealing a limitation in detecting procedural corruptions.
