PinSieve: Production Selective VLM Serving and a Governed Memory Flywheel for Enterprise Content-Quality Triage

Abstract

Enterprise AI agents in production often need to be bounded, stateful, observable, and governable rather than fully autonomous. We present PinSieve, a production case study in a large-scale content-quality pipeline. Its deployed component is a selective vision-language-model (VLM) Serving Agent that operates only on the grey-zone slice left unresolved by lightweight upstream models, exposes a scalar routing score online, and preserves controlled human escalation. On this slice, the deployed system filters 2.05x more non-actionable items than the previous production module while slightly reducing estimated miss rate; after promotion, it improves review productivity by 25.7%, reduces normalized operating cost by 16.2%, and moves signal delivery from next-day to same-day. We then study maintenance through a governed memory flywheel under selective feedback, where escalated items are reviewed by default and auto-passed items are labeled mainly through audit sampling. Feedback Memory records routing traces, observation paths, audit propensities, and replay metadata for evaluation and debugging. The Data Curation Agent uses a bounded proposal-verifier loop over representative, uncertainty, recency, and fresh-review replay, with positive-rate and score-bin guardrails before batch acceptance. In chained monthly refresh over six months of production data, this design reduces average FNR@50% from 17.73% under representative random replay to 13.29%. A Reasoning Review Agent audits teacher-generated rationales and supports keep/repair/drop decisions. Production claims are attributed only to the deployed Serving Agent; replay and rationale-review results are offline or sampled-governance evidence. The same serving-agent recipe has been adopted to several additional internal signals, suggesting transferability beyond one task.

Analysis of Regularized Learning in Banach Spaces for Linear-functional Data

This article delves into the study of the theory of regularized learning in Banach spaces for linear-functional data. It encompasses discussions on representer theorems, pseudo-approximation theorems, and convergence theorems. Regularized learning is designed to minimize regularized empirical risks over a Banach space. The empirical risks are calculated by utilizing training data and multi-loss functions. The input training data are composed of linear functionals in a predual space of the Banach space to capture discrete local information from multimodal data and multiscale models. Through the regularized learning, approximations of the exact solution to an unidentified or uncertain original problem are globally achieved. In the convergence theorems, the convergence of the approximate solutions to the exact solution is established through the utilization of the weak* topology of the Banach space. The theorems of regularized learning are utilized in the interpretation of classical machine learning, such as support vector machines and artificial neural networks.

On Minimal Depth in Neural Networks

Understanding the relationship between the depth of a neural network and its representational capacity is a central problem in deep learning theory. In this work, we develop a geometric framework to analyze the expressivity of ReLU networks with the notion of depth complexity for convex polytopes. The depth of a polytope recursively quantifies the number of alternating convex hull and Minkowski sum operations required to construct it. This geometric perspective serves as a rigorous tool for deriving depth lower bounds and understanding the structural limits of deep neural architectures. We establish lower and upper bounds on the depth of polytopes, as well as tight bounds for classical families. These results yield two main consequences. First, we provide a purely geometric proof of the expressivity bound by Arora et al. (2018), confirming that $\lceil \log_2(n+1)\rceil$ hidden layers suffice to represent any continuous piecewise linear (CPWL) function. Second, we prove that, unlike general ReLU networks, convex polytopes do not admit a universal depth bound. Specifically, the depth of cyclic polytopes in dimensions $n \geq 4$ grows unboundedly with the number of vertices. This result implies that Input Convex Neural Networks (ICNNs) cannot represent all convex CPWL functions with a fixed depth, revealing a sharp separation in expressivity between ICNNs and standard ReLU networks.

ELEMENT: Episodic and Lifelong Exploration via Maximum Entropy

Reinforcement learning agents depend on reward signals whose density is rarely under the designer's control, and when such signals are absent, an agent must generate its own drive to explore. State entropy maximization offers a principled objective for this, but existing methods break down at scale in two ways: the intrinsic reward vanishes once a state has been visited, discouraging revisits to the very gateways that lead onward, and estimating entropy over millions of accumulated observations becomes computationally prohibitive. We address both with Episodic and Lifelong Exploration via Maximum Entropy (ELEMENT), a multiscale intrinsically motivated framework for reward-free exploration that transfers to downstream tasks. ELEMENT couples lifelong entropy maximization with a complementary episodic term acting on a faster timescale. For the episodic term, we derive average episodic state entropy, an intrinsic reward that is the exact minimizer of a tractable upper bound on the reward-decomposition objective; for the lifelong term, we propose a $k$NN graph-based estimator that keeps entropy tractable without forgetting. ELEMENT consistently outperforms state-of-the-art intrinsic reward baselines on state coverage and unsupervised pre-training.
