Abstract:
Over the past decade, artificial intelligence (AI), especially deep learning (DL), has achieved significant advancement. Despite the wide deployment and enthusiastic embrace of AI technologies, the instability and black-box nature of DL systems are raising concerns about the readiness and maturity of AI. As with any automation technology, certification is an essential step to take for AI to be deployed in real-world safety- and security-critical applications. In this talk, I will present recent research outcomes for forward and backward analysis of neuron networks (NNs) to provide provable guarantees on the critical decisions taken by NN-based systems. We propose an automated convex bounding algorithm for forward analysis of neural networks with general activation functions. For backward analysis, we present an efficient anytime algorithm to derive preimage approximations, which enables sound and complete quantitative verification for piecewise-linear neural networks.
