Researchers have introduced a new method called Protected QL Memory for document classifiers, designed to distinguish between preserving acquired capabilities and storing sample-specific information. This dual-path classifier combines causal and associative pathways to evaluate these distinct properties. Experiments across nine dataset-seed conditions demonstrated that while writer capability was fully preserved, diagnostic accuracy gaps of up to 86.9 percentage points indicated a strong dependence on example memory correspondence. However, downstream task performance showed minimal change when memory data was altered, suggesting that preserving associative capability and diagnostic access does not necessarily imply reliance on that memory for task alignment.
