## Summary

A new arXiv paper introduces latent equivalence learning, a framework that separates persistent task-relevant identities from their dataset-specific realizations to help enterprise data agents reason over complex, distributed data environments. The approach uses support-realized Gaussian prototypes and soft-membership profiles to learn how identities are expressed in particular data environments, while a learned query-prototype system maps recurring evidential requirements into the same persistent identity structure. This identity-factorized, query-conditioned routing materializes relevant dataset-specific evidence for downstream reasoning, allowing agents to operate over organized evidential state rather than reconstructing cross-schema structure at every query.

On the Data Agent Benchmark spanning 54 queries across 12 heterogeneous datasets, the full implementation achieves 94.67% dataset-macro stratified Pass@1 over five complete trials and 258 out of 270 successful raw query attempts. This compares to 55.51% for the benchmark's Claude Opus 4.6 reference agent, ranking first among 40 leaderboard entries at submission.

## Key points

- Latent equivalence learning separates persistent identities from dataset-specific realizations for enterprise data agents
- Achieves 94.67% Pass@1 on Data Agent Benchmark across 54 queries and 12 datasets, vs 55.51% for Claude Opus 4.6 reference
- Ranks first among 40 leaderboard entries at submission with 258/270 successful raw query attempts

## Why it matters

The framework addresses a core challenge in enterprise AI: helping agents efficiently reason over distributed, heterogeneous data without reconstructing cross-schema structure for every query.
