Nous: Learning and Certifying Memory Decisions Before Source Calibration

The paper introduces Nous, a framework that separates learning, calibration, and revision certification for belief‑based agent memory. It shows that learning and certifying useful memory decisions can require quadratically fewer records than source calibration, and provides finite‑sample certificates for policy improvement without needing to recover source reliability. Experiments on MiniGrid environments demonstrate that the new certificate reliably accepts improvements over incumbents, outperforming earlier methods.
