Signed Lexical Confidence for Risk-Calibrated Intent Routing

The paper introduces a signed lexical gate that combines a sentence classifier’s logit margin with a sparse lexical model’s support for the predicted intent, assigning positive evidence to lexical agreement and negative evidence to a lexically favored competing intent. This gate retains more information than unsigned lexical confidence or a hard agreement rule and is calibrated via an independent binomial procedure to meet specified risk targets. Experiments on BANKING77, CLINC150, and HWU64 show that the proposed score reduces the area under the risk‑coverage curve by up to 15.8% and increases accepted coverage at low error rates, offering a compact, interpretable confidence enhancement for risk‑calibrated intent routing.
