arXiv:2605.21993v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ranking systems used in decision-support settings should not only order candidates but also expose evidence that can be independently checked. We study evidence-certified candidate ranking: given an intent_id, a predefined plan skeleton, a window-local candidate roster, and text-derived candidate trajectories with span provenance, a system must output a Top-K list together with doc_id:span evidence certificates whose cited spans are sufficient to recover the decision. We instantiate this task on MAVEN-ERE and RAMS with fixed upstream extraction
The increasing sophistication and widespread deployment of AI in critical decision-making necessitate transparent and verifiable outputs to build trust and ensure accountability.
This development addresses the 'black box' problem in AI, enabling auditable and explainable AI systems crucial for sensitive applications in highly regulated industries or government.
AI ranking systems are evolving from opaque decision-makers to tools that provide explicit, verifiable evidence for their outputs, fundamentally altering how trust and accountability are established.
