Learned Enterprise Data Comprehension: Compression and Routing for Data Agents

Ethan Torres, Eric Mills

Structured-data agents in enterprise settings must reason over complex data environments whose relevant evidence is distributed across schemas, relationships, policies, and recurring business roles. Modern agentic systems often address this burden through reusable markdown-style memory or skill files that preserve previously discovered information for later queries, reducing the need to rediscover the same structure repeatedly. This is useful, but it obscures a natural division of labor: agents are well suited to semantic reasoning, while learned systems are well suited to predicting and organizing recurring structure. We introduce latent equivalence learning to bridge this gap. The framework separates persistent task-relevant identities from their dataset-relative realizations. In our realization, supporting and opposing evidence shape support-realized Gaussian prototypes that learn how those identities are expressed in a particular data environment, while soft-membership profiles retain distinctions lost under a hard assignment. A separate learned query-prototype system represents recurring evidential requirements and maps them through a learned compatibility function into the…
