text: Safety and liveness are elementary concepts of computation, and the foundation
of many verification paradigms. The safety-liveness classification of boolean
properties characterizes whether a given property can be falsified by observing
a finite prefix of an infinite computation trace (always for safety, never for
liveness). In quantitative specification and verification, properties assign not
truth values, but quantitative values to infinite traces (e.g., a cost, or the
distance to a boolean property). We introduce quantitative safety and liveness,
and we prove that our definitions induce conservative quantitative generalizations
of both (1)~the safety-progress hierarchy of boolean properties and (2)~the safety-liveness
decomposition of boolean properties. In particular, we show that every quantitative
property can be written as the pointwise minimum of a quantitative safety property
and a quantitative liveness property. Consequently, like boolean properties, also
quantitative properties can be min-decomposed into safety and liveness parts,
or alternatively, max-decomposed into co-safety and co-liveness parts. Moreover,
quantitative properties can be approximated naturally. We prove that every quantitative
property that has both safe and co-safe approximations can be monitored arbitrarily
precisely by a monitor that uses only a finite number of states.

text: The operator precedence languages (OPLs) represent the largest known subclass
of the context-free languages which enjoys all desirable closure and decidability
properties. This includes the decidability of language inclusion, which is the
ultimate verification problem. Operator precedence grammars, automata, and logics
have been investigated and used, for example, to verify programs with arithmetic
expressions and exceptions (both of which are deterministic pushdown but lie outside
the scope of the visibly pushdown languages). In this paper, we complete the picture
and give, for the first time, an algebraic characterization of the class of OPLs
in the form of a syntactic congruence that has finitely many equivalence classes
exactly for the operator precedence languages. This is a generalization of the
celebrated Myhill-Nerode theorem for the regular languages to OPLs. As one of
the consequences, we show that universality and language inclusion for nondeterministic
operator precedence automata can be solved by an antichain algorithm. Antichain
algorithms avoid determinization and complementation through an explicit subset
construction, by leveraging a quasi-order on words, which allows the pruning of
the search space for counterexample words without sacrificing completeness. Antichain
algorithms can be implemented symbolically, and these implementations are today
the best-performing algorithms in practice for the inclusion of finite automata.
We give a generic construction of the quasi-order needed for antichain algorithms
from a finite syntactic congruence. This yields the first antichain algorithm
for OPLs, an algorithm that solves the ExpTime-hard language inclusion problem
for OPLs in exponential time.

text: Adversarial training (i.e., training on adversarially perturbed input data)
is a well-studied method for making neural networks robust to potential adversarial
attacks during inference. However, the improved robustness does not come for free
but rather is accompanied by a decrease in overall model accuracy and performance.
Recent work has shown that, in practical robot learning applications, the effects
of adversarial training do not pose a fair trade-off but inflict a net loss when
measured in holistic robot performance. This work revisits the robustness-accuracy
trade-off in robot learning by systematically analyzing if recent advances in
robust training methods and theory in conjunction with adversarial robot learning,
are capable of making adversarial training suitable for real-world robot applications.
We evaluate three different robot learning tasks ranging from autonomous driving
in a high-fidelity environment amenable to sim-to-real deployment to mobile robot
navigation and gesture recognition. Our results demonstrate that, while these
techniques make incremental improvements on the trade-off on a relative scale,
the negative impact on the nominal accuracy caused by adversarial training still
outweighs the improved robustness by an order of magnitude. We conclude that although
progress is happening, further advances in robust learning methods are necessary
before they can benefit robot learning tasks in practice.

text: "Motivation: The problem of model inference is of fundamental importance to
systems biology. Logical models (e.g. Boolean networks; BNs) represent a computationally
attractive approach capable of handling large biological networks. The models
are typically inferred from experimental data. However, even with a substantial
amount of experimental data supported by some prior knowledge, existing inference
methods often focus on a small sample of admissible candidate models only.\r\n\r\nResults:
We propose Boolean network sketches as a new formal instrument for the inference
of Boolean networks. A sketch integrates (typically partial) knowledge about the
network’s topology and the update logic (obtained through, e.g. a biological knowledge
base or a literature search), as well as further assumptions about the properties
of the network’s transitions (e.g. the form of its attractor landscape), and additional
restrictions on the model dynamics given by the measured experimental data. Our
new BNs inference algorithm starts with an ‘initial’ sketch, which is extended
by adding restrictions representing experimental data to a ‘data-informed’ sketch
and subsequently computes all BNs consistent with the data-informed sketch. Our
algorithm is based on a symbolic representation and coloured model-checking. Our
approach is unique in its ability to cover a broad spectrum of knowledge and efficiently
produce a compact representation of all inferred BNs. We evaluate the method on
a non-trivial collection of real-world and simulated data."

text: We study the problem of training and certifying adversarially robust quantized
neural networks (QNNs). Quantization is a technique for making neural networks
more efficient by running them using low-bit integer arithmetic and is therefore
commonly adopted in industry. Recent work has shown that floating-point neural
networks that have been verified to be robust can become vulnerable to adversarial
attacks after quantization, and certification of the quantized representation
is necessary to guarantee robustness. In this work, we present quantization-aware
interval bound propagation (QA-IBP), a novel method for training robust QNNs.
Inspired by advances in robust learning of non-quantized networks, our training
algorithm computes the gradient of an abstract representation of the actual network.
Unlike existing approaches, our method can handle the discrete semantics of QNNs.
Based on QA-IBP, we also develop a complete verification procedure for verifying
the adversarial robustness of QNNs, which is guaranteed to terminate and produce
a correct answer. Compared to existing approaches, the key advantage of our verification
procedure is that it runs entirely on GPU or other accelerator devices. We demonstrate
experimentally that our approach significantly outperforms existing methods and
establish the new state-of-the-art for training and certifying the robustness
of QNNs.

text: 'Two-player zero-sum "graph games" are central in logic, verification, and
multi-agent systems. The game proceeds by placing a token on a vertex of a graph,
and allowing the players to move it to produce an infinite path, which determines
the winner or payoff of the game. Traditionally, the players alternate turns in
moving the token. In "bidding games", however, the players have budgets and in
each turn, an auction (bidding) determines which player moves the token. So far,
bidding games have only been studied as full-information games. In this work we
initiate the study of partial-information bidding games: we study bidding games
in which a player''s initial budget is drawn from a known probability distribution.
We show that while for some bidding mechanisms and objectives, it is straightforward
to adapt the results from the full-information setting to the partial-information
setting, for others, the analysis is significantly more challenging, requires
new techniques, and gives rise to interesting results. Specifically, we study
games with "mean-payoff" objectives in combination with "poorman" bidding. We
construct optimal strategies for a partially-informed player who plays against
a fully-informed adversary. We show that, somewhat surprisingly, the "value" under
pure strategies does not necessarily exist in such games.'

text: Machine-learned systems are in widespread use for making decisions about humans,
and it is important that they are fair, i.e., not biased against individuals based
on sensitive attributes. We present runtime verification of algorithmic fairness
for systems whose models are unknown, but are assumed to have a Markov chain structure.
We introduce a specification language that can model many common algorithmic fairness
properties, such as demographic parity, equal opportunity, and social burden.
We build monitors that observe a long sequence of events as generated by a given
system, and output, after each observation, a quantitative estimate of how fair
or biased the system was on that run until that point in time. The estimate is
proven to be correct modulo a variable error bound and a given confidence level,
where the error bound gets tighter as the observed sequence gets longer. Our monitors
are of two types, and use, respectively, frequentist and Bayesian statistical
inference techniques. While the frequentist monitors compute estimates that are
objectively correct with respect to the ground truth, the Bayesian monitors compute
estimates that are correct subject to a given prior belief about the system’s
model. Using a prototype implementation, we show how we can monitor if a bank
is fair in giving loans to applicants from different social backgrounds, and if
a college is fair in admitting students while maintaining a reasonable financial
burden on the society. Although they exhibit different theoretical complexities
in certain cases, in our experiments, both frequentist and Bayesian monitors took
less than a millisecond to update their verdicts after each observation.

text: The safety-liveness dichotomy is a fundamental concept in formal languages
which plays a key role in verification. Recently, this dichotomy has been lifted
to quantitative properties, which are arbitrary functions from infinite words
to partially-ordered domains. We look into harnessing the dichotomy for the specific
classes of quantitative properties expressed by quantitative automata. These automata
contain finitely many states and rational-valued transition weights, and their
common value functions Inf, Sup, LimInf, LimSup, LimInfAvg, LimSupAvg, and DSum
map infinite words into the totallyordered domain of real numbers. In this automata-theoretic
setting, we establish a connection between quantitative safety and topological
continuity and provide an alternative characterization of quantitative safety
and liveness in terms of their boolean counterparts. For all common value functions,
we show how the safety closure of a quantitative automaton can be constructed
in PTime, and we provide PSpace-complete checks of whether a given quantitative
automaton is safe or live, with the exception of LimInfAvg and LimSupAvg automata,
for which the safety check is in ExpSpace. Moreover, for deterministic Sup, LimInf,
and LimSup automata, we give PTime decompositions into safe and live automata.
These decompositions enable the separation of techniques for safety and liveness
verification for quantitative specifications.
acknowledgement: We thank Christof Löding for pointing us to some results on PSpace-hardess
of universality problems and the anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments.

text: We introduce hypernode automata as a new specification formalism for hyperproperties
of concurrent systems. They are finite automata with nodes labeled with hypernode
logic formulas and transitions labeled with actions. A hypernode logic formula
specifies relations between sequences of variable values in different system executions.
Unlike HyperLTL, hypernode logic takes an asynchronous view on execution traces
by constraining the values and the order of value changes of each variable without
correlating the timing of the changes. Different execution traces are synchronized
solely through the transitions of hypernode automata. Hypernode automata naturally
combine asynchronicity at the node level with synchronicity at the transition
level. We show that the model-checking problem for hypernode automata is decidable
over action-labeled Kripke structures, whose actions induce transitions of the
specification automata. For this reason, hypernode automaton is a suitable formalism
for specifying and verifying asynchronous hyperproperties, such as declassifying
observational determinism in multi-threaded programs.

text: As AI and machine-learned software are used increasingly for making decisions
that affect humans, it is imperative that they remain fair and unbiased in their
decisions. To complement design-time bias mitigation measures, runtime verification
techniques have been introduced recently to monitor the algorithmic fairness of
deployed systems. Previous monitoring techniques assume full observability of
the states of the (unknown) monitored system. Moreover, they can monitor only
fairness properties that are specified as arithmetic expressions over the probabilities
of different events. In this work, we extend fairness monitoring to systems modeled
as partially observed Markov chains (POMC), and to specifications containing arithmetic
expressions over the expected values of numerical functions on event sequences.
The only assumptions we make are that the underlying POMC is aperiodic and starts
in the stationary distribution, with a bound on its mixing time being known. These
assumptions enable us to estimate a given property for the entire distribution
of possible executions of the monitored POMC, by observing only a single execution.
Our monitors observe a long run of the system and, after each new observation,
output updated PAC-estimates of how fair or biased the system is. The monitors
are computationally lightweight and, using a prototype implementation, we demonstrate
their effectiveness on several real-world examples.

text: We consider bidding games, a class of two-player zero-sum graph games. The
game proceeds as follows. Both players have bounded budgets. A token is placed
on a vertex of a graph, in each turn the players simultaneously submit bids, and
the higher bidder moves the token, where we break bidding ties in favor of Player
1. Player 1 wins the game iff the token visits a designated target vertex. We
consider, for the first time, poorman discrete-bidding in which the granularity
of the bids is restricted and the higher bid is paid to the bank. Previous work
either did not impose granularity restrictions or considered Richman bidding (bids
are paid to the opponent). While the latter mechanisms are technically more accessible,
the former is more appealing from a practical standpoint. Our study focuses on
threshold budgets, which is the necessary and sufficient initial budget required
for Player 1 to ensure winning against a given Player 2 budget. We first show
existence of thresholds. In DAGs, we show that threshold budgets can be approximated
with error bounds by thresholds under continuous-bidding and that they exhibit
a periodic behavior. We identify closed-form solutions in special cases. We implement
and experiment with an algorithm to find threshold budgets.

text: We consider the problem of learning control policies in discrete-time stochastic
systems which guarantee that the system stabilizes within some specified stabilization
region with probability 1. Our approach is based on the novel notion of stabilizing
ranking supermartingales (sRSMs) that we introduce in this work. Our sRSMs overcome
the limitation of methods proposed in previous works whose applicability is restricted
to systems in which the stabilizing region cannot be left once entered under any
control policy. We present a learning procedure that learns a control policy together
with an sRSM that formally certifies probability 1 stability, both learned as
neural networks. We show that this procedure can also be adapted to formally verifying
that, under a given Lipschitz continuous control policy, the stochastic system
stabilizes within some stabilizing region with probability 1. Our experimental
evaluation shows that our learning procedure can successfully learn provably stabilizing
policies in practice.

text: A machine-learned system that is fair in static decision-making tasks may
have biased societal impacts in the long-run. This may happen when the system
interacts with humans and feedback patterns emerge, reinforcing old biases in
the system and creating new biases. While existing works try to identify and mitigate
long-run biases through smart system design, we introduce techniques for monitoring
fairness in real time. Our goal is to build and deploy a monitor that will continuously
observe a long sequence of events generated by the system in the wild, and will
output, with each event, a verdict on how fair the system is at the current point
in time. The advantages of monitoring are two-fold. Firstly, fairness is evaluated
at run-time, which is important because unfair behaviors may not be eliminated
a priori, at design-time, due to partial knowledge about the system and the environment,
as well as uncertainties and dynamic changes in the system and the environment,
such as the unpredictability of human behavior. Secondly, monitors are by design
oblivious to how the monitored system is constructed, which makes them suitable
to be used as trusted third-party fairness watchdogs. They function as computationally
lightweight statistical estimators, and their correctness proofs rely on the rigorous
analysis of the stochastic process that models the assumptions about the underlying
dynamics of the system. We show, both in theory and experiments, how monitors
can warn us (1) if a bank’s credit policy over time has created an unfair distribution
of credit scores among the population, and (2) if a resource allocator’s allocation
policy over time has made unfair allocations. Our experiments demonstrate that
the monitors introduce very low overhead. We believe that runtime monitoring is
an important and mathematically rigorous new addition to the fairness toolbox.

text: "Motivation: Boolean networks are simple but efficient mathematical formalism
for modelling complex biological systems. However, having only two levels of activation
is sometimes not enough to fully capture the dynamics of real-world biological
systems. Hence, the need for multi-valued networks (MVNs), a generalization of
Boolean networks. Despite the importance of MVNs for modelling biological systems,
only limited progress has been made on developing theories, analysis methods,
and tools that can support them. In particular, the recent use of trap spaces
in Boolean networks made a great impact on the field of systems biology, but there
has been no similar concept defined and studied for MVNs to date.\r\n\r\nResults:
In this work, we generalize the concept of trap spaces in Boolean networks to
that in MVNs. We then develop the theory and the analysis methods for trap spaces
in MVNs. In particular, we implement all proposed methods in a Python package
called trapmvn. Not only showing the applicability of our approach via a realistic
case study, we also evaluate the time efficiency of the method on a large collection
of real-world models. The experimental results confirm the time efficiency, which
we believe enables more accurate analysis on larger and more complex multi-valued
models."

text: "We consider the problem of computing the maximal probability of satisfying
an \r\n-regular specification for stochastic, continuous-state, nonlinear systems
evolving in discrete time. The problem reduces, after automata-theoretic constructions,
to finding the maximal probability of satisfying a parity condition on a (possibly
hybrid) state space. While characterizing the exact satisfaction probability is
open, we show that a lower bound on this probability can be obtained by (I) computing
an under-approximation of the qualitative winning region, i.e., states from which
the parity condition can be enforced almost surely, and (II) computing the maximal
probability of reaching this qualitative winning region.\r\nThe heart of our approach
is a technique to symbolically compute the under-approximation of the qualitative
winning region in step (I) via a finite-state abstraction of the original system
as a \r\n-player parity game. Our abstraction procedure uses only the support
of the probabilistic evolution; it does not use precise numerical transition probabilities.
We prove that the winning set in the abstract -player game induces an under-approximation
of the qualitative winning region in the original synthesis problem, along with
a policy to solve it. By combining these contributions with (a) a symbolic fixpoint
algorithm to solve \r\n-player games and (b) existing techniques for reachability
policy synthesis in stochastic nonlinear systems, we get an abstraction-based
algorithm for finding a lower bound on the maximal satisfaction probability.\r\nWe
have implemented the abstraction-based algorithm in Mascot-SDS, where we combined
the outlined abstraction step with our tool Genie (Majumdar et al., 2023) that
solves \r\n-player parity games (through a reduction to Rabin games) more efficiently
than existing algorithms. We evaluated our implementation on the nonlinear model
of a perturbed bistable switch from the literature. We show empirically that the
lower bound on the winning region computed by our approach is precise, by comparing
against an over-approximation of the qualitative winning region. Moreover, our
implementation outperforms a recently proposed tool for solving this problem by
a large margin."
acknowledgement: "We thank Daniel Hausmann and Nir Piterman for their valuable comments
on an earlier version of the manuscript of our other paper [22] where we present,
among other things, the parity fixpoint for 2 1/2-player games (for a slightly more
general class of games) with a different and indirect proof of correctness. Based
on their comments we observed that, unlike the other fixpoints that we present in
[22], the parity fixpoint does not follow the exact same structure as its counterpart
for 2-player games, which we also use int his paper.\r\nWe also thank Thejaswini
Raghavan for observing that our symbolic parity fixpoint algorithm can be solved
in quasi-polynomial time using recent improved algorithms for solving \r\n-calculus
expressions. This significantly improved the complexity bounds of our algorithm
in this paper.\r\nThe work of R. Majumdar and A.-K. Schmuck are partially supported

text: 'Binary decision diagrams (BDDs) are one of the fundamental data structures
in formal methods and computer science in general. However, the performance of
BDD-based algorithms greatly depends on memory latency due to the reliance on
large hash tables and thus, by extension, on the speed of random memory access.
This hinders the full utilisation of resources available on modern CPUs, since
the absolute memory latency has not improved significantly for at least a decade.
In this paper, we explore several implementation techniques that improve the performance
of BDD manipulation either through enhanced memory locality or by partially eliminating
random memory access. On a benchmark suite of 600+ BDDs derived from real-world
applications, we demonstrate runtime that is comparable or better than parallelising
the same operations on eight CPU cores. '

text: We study the problem of learning controllers for discrete-time non-linear
stochastic dynamical systems with formal reach-avoid guarantees. This work presents
the first method for providing formal reach-avoid guarantees, which combine and
generalize stability and safety guarantees, with a tolerable probability threshold
p in [0,1] over the infinite time horizon. Our method leverages advances in machine
learning literature and it represents formal certificates as neural networks.
In particular, we learn a certificate in the form of a reach-avoid supermartingale
(RASM), a novel notion that we introduce in this work. Our RASMs provide reachability
and avoidance guarantees by imposing constraints on what can be viewed as a stochastic
extension of level sets of Lyapunov functions for deterministic systems. Our approach
solves several important problems -- it can be used to learn a control policy
from scratch, to verify a reach-avoid specification for a fixed control policy,
or to fine-tune a pre-trained policy if it does not satisfy the reach-avoid specification.
We validate our approach on 3 stochastic non-linear reinforcement learning tasks.

text: Neural-network classifiers achieve high accuracy when predicting the class
of an input that they were trained to identify. Maintaining this accuracy in dynamic
environments, where inputs frequently fall outside the fixed set of initially
known classes, remains a challenge. We consider the problem of monitoring the
classification decisions of neural networks in the presence of novel classes.
For this purpose, we generalize our recently proposed abstraction-based monitor
from binary output to real-valued quantitative output. This quantitative output
enables new applications, two of which we investigate in the paper. As our first
application, we introduce an algorithmic framework for active monitoring of a
neural network, which allows us to learn new classes dynamically and yet maintain
high monitoring performance. As our second application, we present an offline
procedure to retrain the neural network to improve the monitor’s detection performance
without deteriorating the network’s classification accuracy. Our experimental
evaluation demonstrates both the benefits of our active monitoring framework in
dynamic scenarios and the effectiveness of the retraining procedure.

text: "We consider fixpoint algorithms for two-player games on graphs with $\\omega$-regular
winning conditions, where the environment is constrained by a strong transition
fairness assumption. Strong transition fairness is a widely occurring special
case of strong fairness, which requires that any execution is strongly fair with
respect to a specified set of live edges: whenever the\r\nsource vertex of a live
edge is visited infinitely often along a play, the edge itself is traversed infinitely
often along the play as well. We show that, surprisingly, strong transition fairness
retains the algorithmic characteristics of the fixpoint algorithms for $\\omega$-regular
games -- the new algorithms have the same alternation depth as the classical algorithms
but invoke a new type of predecessor operator. For Rabin games with $k$ pairs,
the complexity of the new algorithm is $O(n^{k+2}k!)$ symbolic steps, which is
independent of the number of live edges in the strong transition fairness assumption.
Further, we show that GR(1) specifications with strong transition fairness assumptions
can be solved with a 3-nested fixpoint algorithm, same as the usual algorithm.
In contrast, strong fairness necessarily requires increasing the alternation depth
depending on the number of fairness assumptions. We get symbolic algorithms for
(generalized) Rabin, parity and GR(1) objectives under strong transition fairness
assumptions as well as a direct symbolic algorithm for qualitative winning in
stochastic\r\n$\\omega$-regular games that runs in $O(n^{k+2}k!)$ symbolic steps,
improving the state of the art. Finally, we have implemented a BDD-based synthesis
engine based on our algorithm. We show on a set of synthetic and real benchmarks
that our algorithm is scalable, parallelizable, and outperforms previous algorithms
by orders of magnitude."

text: "Partially specified Boolean networks (PSBNs) represent a promising framework
for the qualitative modelling of biological systems in which the logic of interactions
is not completely known. Phenotype control aims to stabilise the network in states
exhibiting specific traits.\r\nIn this paper, we define the phenotype control
problem in the context of asynchronous PSBNs and propose a novel semi-symbolic
algorithm for solving this problem with permanent variable perturbations."

text: 'We present a flexible and efficient toolchain to symbolically solve (standard)
Rabin games, fair-adversarial Rabin games, and 2 1/2 license type-player Rabin
games. To our best knowledge, our tools are the first ones to be able to solve
these problems. Furthermore, using these flexible game solvers as a back-end,
we implemented a tool for computing correct-by-construction controllers for stochastic
dynamical systems under LTL specifications. Our implementations use the recent
theoretical result that all of these games can be solved using the same symbolic
fixpoint algorithm but utilizing different, domain specific calculations of the
involved predecessor operators. The main feature of our toolchain is the utilization
of two programming abstractions: one to separate the symbolic fixpoint computations
from the predecessor calculations, and another one to allow the integration of
different BDD libraries as back-ends. In particular, we employ a multi-threaded
execution of the fixpoint algorithm by using the multi-threaded BDD library Sylvan,
which leads to enormous computational savings.'

text: Reinforcement learning has shown promising results in learning neural network
policies for complicated control tasks. However, the lack of formal guarantees
about the behavior of such policies remains an impediment to their deployment.
We propose a novel method for learning a composition of neural network policies
in stochastic environments, along with a formal certificate which guarantees that
a specification over the policy's behavior is satisfied with the desired probability.
Unlike prior work on verifiable RL, our approach leverages the compositional nature
of logical specifications provided in SpectRL, to learn over graphs of probabilistic
reach-avoid specifications. The formal guarantees are provided by learning neural
network policies together with reach-avoid supermartingales (RASM) for the graph’s
sub-tasks and then composing them into a global policy. We also derive a tighter
lower bound compared to previous work on the probability of reach-avoidance implied
by a RASM, which is required to find a compositional policy with an acceptable
probabilistic threshold for complex tasks with multiple edge policies. We implement
a prototype of our approach and evaluate it on a Stochastic Nine Rooms environment.

text: Hyperproperties are properties that relate multiple execution traces. Previous
work on monitoring hyperproperties focused on synchronous hyperproperties, usually
specified in HyperLTL. When monitoring synchronous hyperproperties, all traces
are assumed to proceed at the same speed. We introduce (multi-trace) prefix transducers
and show how to use them for monitoring synchronous as well as, for the first
time, asynchronous hyperproperties. Prefix transducers map multiple input traces
into one or more output traces by incrementally matching prefixes of the input
traces against expressions similar to regular expressions. The prefixes of different
traces which are consumed by a single matching step of the monitor may have different
lengths. The deterministic and executable nature of prefix transducers makes them
more suitable as an intermediate formalism for runtime verification than logical
specifications, which tend to be highly non-deterministic, especially in the case
of asynchronous hyperproperties. We report on a set of experiments about monitoring
asynchronous version of observational determinism.

text: We study the problem of specifying sequential information-flow properties
of systems. Information-flow properties are hyperproperties, as they compare different
traces of a system. Sequential information-flow properties can express changes,
over time, in the information-flow constraints. For example, information-flow
constraints during an initialization phase of a system may be different from information-flow
constraints that are required during the operation phase. We formalize several
variants of interpreting sequential information-flow constraints, which arise
from different assumptions about what can be observed of the system. For this
purpose, we introduce a first-order logic, called Hypertrace Logic, with both
trace and time quantifiers for specifying linear-time hyperproperties. We prove
that HyperLTL, which corresponds to a fragment of Hypertrace Logic with restricted
quantifier prefixes, cannot specify the majority of the studied variants of sequential
information flow, including all variants in which the transition between sequential
phases (such as initialization and operation) happens asynchronously. Our results
rely on new equivalences between sets of traces that cannot be distinguished by
certain classes of formulas from Hypertrace Logic. This presents a new approach
to proving inexpressiveness results for HyperLTL.

text: World models learn behaviors in a latent imagination space to enhance the
sample-efficiency of deep reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. While learning
world models for high-dimensional observations (e.g., pixel inputs) has become
practicable on standard RL benchmarks and some games, their effectiveness in real-world
robotics applications has not been explored. In this paper, we investigate how
such agents generalize to real-world autonomous vehicle control tasks, where advanced
model-free deep RL algorithms fail. In particular, we set up a series of time-lap
tasks for an F1TENTH racing robot, equipped with a high-dimensional LiDAR sensor,
on a set of test tracks with a gradual increase in their complexity. In this continuous-control
setting, we show that model-based agents capable of learning in imagination substantially
outperform model-free agents with respect to performance, sample efficiency, successful
task completion, and generalization. Moreover, we show that the generalization
ability of model-based agents strongly depends on the choice of their observation
model. We provide extensive empirical evidence for the effectiveness of world
models provided with long enough memory horizons in sim2real tasks.

text: 'We propose an algorithmic approach for synthesizing linear hybrid automata
from time-series data. Unlike existing approaches, our approach provides a whole
family of models with the same discrete structure but different dynamics. Each
model in the family is guaranteed to capture the input data up to a precision
error ε, in the following sense: For each time series, the model contains an execution
that is ε-close to the data points. Our construction allows to effectively choose
a model from this family with minimal precision error ε. We demonstrate the algorithm’s
efficiency and its ability to find precise models in two case studies.'

text: "We explore the notion of history-determinism in the context of timed automata
(TA). History-deterministic automata are those in which nondeterminism can be
resolved on the fly, based on the run constructed thus far. History-determinism
is a robust property that admits different game-based characterisations, and history-deterministic
specifications allow for game-based verification without an expensive determinization
step.\r\nWe show yet another characterisation of history-determinism in terms
of fair simulation, at the general level of labelled transition systems: a system
is history-deterministic precisely if and only if it fairly simulates all language
smaller systems.\r\nFor timed automata over infinite timed words it is known that
universality is undecidable for Büchi TA. We show that for history-deterministic
TA with arbitrary parity acceptance, timed universality, inclusion, and synthesis
all remain decidable and are ExpTime-complete.\r\nFor the subclass of TA with
safety or reachability acceptance, we show that checking whether such an automaton
is history-deterministic is decidable (in ExpTime), and history-deterministic
TA with safety acceptance are effectively determinizable without introducing new
automata states."

text: A graph game is a two-player zero-sum game in which the players move a token
throughout a graph to produce an infinite path, which determines the winner or
payoff of the game. In bidding games, both players have budgets, and in each turn,
we hold an "auction" (bidding) to determine which player moves the token. In this
survey, we consider several bidding mechanisms and their effect on the properties
of the game. Specifically, bidding games, and in particular bidding games of infinite
duration, have an intriguing equivalence with random-turn games in which in each
turn, the player who moves is chosen randomly. We summarize how minor changes
in the bidding mechanism lead to unexpected differences in the equivalence with
random-turn games.

text: "Adversarial training (i.e., training on adversarially perturbed input data)
is a well-studied method for making neural networks robust to potential adversarial
attacks during inference. However, the improved robustness does not\r\ncome for
free but rather is accompanied by a decrease in overall model accuracy and performance.
Recent work has shown that, in practical robot learning applications, the effects
of adversarial training do not pose a fair trade-off\r\nbut inflict a net loss
when measured in holistic robot performance. This work revisits the robustness-accuracy
trade-off in robot learning by systematically analyzing if recent advances in
robust training methods and theory in\r\nconjunction with adversarial robot learning
can make adversarial training suitable for real-world robot applications. We evaluate
a wide variety of robot learning tasks ranging from autonomous driving in a high-fidelity
environment\r\namenable to sim-to-real deployment, to mobile robot gesture recognition.
Our results demonstrate that, while these techniques make incremental improvements
on the trade-off on a relative scale, the negative side-effects caused by\r\nadversarial
training still outweigh the improvements by an order of magnitude. We conclude
that more substantial advances in robust learning methods are necessary before
they can benefit robot learning tasks in practice."

text: We present a formal framework for the online black-box monitoring of software
using monitors with quantitative verdict functions. Quantitative verdict functions
have several advantages. First, quantitative monitors can be approximate, i.e.,
the value of the verdict function does not need to correspond exactly to the value
of the property under observation. Second, quantitative monitors can be quantified
universally, i.e., for every possible observed behavior, the monitor tries to
make the best effort to estimate the value of the property under observation.
Third, quantitative monitors can watch boolean as well as quantitative properties,
such as average response time. Fourth, quantitative monitors can use non-finite-state
resources, such as counters. As a consequence, quantitative monitors can be compared
according to how many resources they use (e.g., the number of counters) and how
precisely they approximate the property under observation. This allows for a rich
spectrum of cost-precision trade-offs in monitoring software.

in this invited talk was defined jointly with N. Ege Saraç at LICS 2021. This work

text: "Contract-based design is a promising methodology for taming the complexity
of developing sophisticated systems. A formal contract distinguishes between assumptions,
which are constraints that the designer of a component puts on the environments
in which the component can be used safely, and guarantees, which are promises
that the designer asks from the team that implements the component. A theory of
formal contracts can be formalized as an interface theory, which supports the
composition and refinement of both assumptions and guarantees.\r\nAlthough there
is a rich landscape of contract-based design methods that address functional and
extra-functional properties, we present the first interface theory that is designed
for ensuring system-wide security properties. Our framework provides a refinement
relation and a composition operation that support both incremental design and
independent implementability. We develop our theory for both stateless and stateful
interfaces. We illustrate the applicability of our framework with an example inspired
from the automotive domain."

text: 'Quantitative monitoring can be universal and approximate: For every finite
sequence of observations, the specification provides a value and the monitor outputs
a best-effort approximation of it. The quality of the approximation may depend
on the resources that are available to the monitor. By taking to the limit the
sequences of specification values and monitor outputs, we obtain precision-resource
trade-offs also for limit monitoring. This paper provides a formal framework for
studying such trade-offs using an abstract interpretation for monitors: For each
natural number n, the aggregate semantics of a monitor at time n is an equivalence
relation over all sequences of at most n observations so that two equivalent sequences
are indistinguishable to the monitor and thus mapped to the same output. This
abstract interpretation of quantitative monitors allows us to measure the number
of equivalence classes (or “resource use”) that is necessary for a certain precision
up to a certain time, or at any time. Our framework offers several insights. For
example, we identify a family of specifications for which any resource-optimal
exact limit monitor is independent of any error permitted over finite traces.
Moreover, we present a specification for which any resource-optimal approximate
limit monitor does not minimize its resource use at any time. '

text: Continuous-time neural networks are a class of machine learning systems that
can tackle representation learning on spatiotemporal decision-making tasks. These
models are typically represented by continuous differential equations. However,
their expressive power when they are deployed on computers is bottlenecked by
numerical differential equation solvers. This limitation has notably slowed down
the scaling and understanding of numerous natural physical phenomena such as the
dynamics of nervous systems. Ideally, we would circumvent this bottleneck by solving
the given dynamical system in closed form. This is known to be intractable in
general. Here, we show that it is possible to closely approximate the interaction
between neurons and synapses—the building blocks of natural and artificial neural
networks—constructed by liquid time-constant networks efficiently in closed form.
To this end, we compute a tightly bounded approximation of the solution of an
integral appearing in liquid time-constant dynamics that has had no known closed-form
solution so far. This closed-form solution impacts the design of continuous-time
and continuous-depth neural models. For instance, since time appears explicitly
in closed form, the formulation relaxes the need for complex numerical solvers.
Consequently, we obtain models that are between one and five orders of magnitude
faster in training and inference compared with differential equation-based counterparts.
More importantly, in contrast to ordinary differential equation-based continuous
networks, closed-form networks can scale remarkably well compared with other deep
learning instances. Lastly, as these models are derived from liquid networks,
they show good performance in time-series modelling compared with advanced recurrent
neural network models.

text: "Deep learning has enabled breakthroughs in challenging computing problems
and has emerged as the standard problem-solving tool for computer vision and natural
language processing tasks.\r\nOne exception to this trend is safety-critical tasks
where robustness and resilience requirements contradict the black-box nature of
neural networks. \r\nTo deploy deep learning methods for these tasks, it is vital
to provide guarantees on neural network agents' safety and robustness criteria.
\r\nThis can be achieved by developing formal verification methods to verify the
safety and robustness properties of neural networks.\r\n\r\nOur goal is to design,
develop and assess safety verification methods for neural networks to improve
their reliability and trustworthiness in real-world applications.\r\nThis thesis
establishes techniques for the verification of compressed and adversarially trained
models as well as the design of novel neural networks for verifiably safe decision-making.\r\n\r\nFirst,
we establish the problem of verifying quantized neural networks. Quantization
is a technique that trades numerical precision for the computational efficiency
of running a neural network and is widely adopted in industry.\r\nWe show that
neglecting the reduced precision when verifying a neural network can lead to wrong
conclusions about the robustness and safety of the network, highlighting that
novel techniques for quantized network verification are necessary. We introduce
several bit-exact verification methods explicitly designed for quantized neural
networks and experimentally confirm on realistic networks that the network's robustness
and other formal properties are affected by the quantization.\r\n\r\nFurthermore,
we perform a case study providing evidence that adversarial training, a standard
technique for making neural networks more robust, has detrimental effects on the
network's performance. This robustness-accuracy tradeoff has been studied before
regarding the accuracy obtained on classification datasets where each data point
is independent of all other data points. On the other hand, we investigate the
tradeoff empirically in robot learning settings where a both, a high accuracy
and a high robustness, are desirable.\r\nOur results suggest that the negative
side-effects of adversarial training outweigh its robustness benefits in practice.\r\n\r\nFinally,
we consider the problem of verifying safety when running a Bayesian neural network
policy in a feedback loop with systems over the infinite time horizon. Bayesian
neural networks are probabilistic models for learning uncertainties in the data
and are therefore often used on robotic and healthcare applications where data
is inherently stochastic.\r\nWe introduce a method for recalibrating Bayesian
neural networks so that they yield probability distributions over safe decisions
only.\r\nOur method learns a safety certificate that guarantees safety over the
infinite time horizon to determine which decisions are safe in every possible
state of the system.\r\nWe demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a
series of reinforcement learning benchmarks."

text: 'We propose a novel algorithm to decide the language inclusion between (nondeterministic)
Büchi automata, a PSPACE-complete problem. Our approach, like others before, leverage
a notion of quasiorder to prune the search for a counterexample by discarding
candidates which are subsumed by others for the quasiorder. Discarded candidates
are guaranteed to not compromise the completeness of the algorithm. The novelty
of our work lies in the quasiorder used to discard candidates. We introduce FORQs
(family of right quasiorders) that we obtain by adapting the notion of family
of right congruences put forward by Maler and Staiger in 1993. We define a FORQ-based
inclusion algorithm which we prove correct and instantiate it for a specific FORQ,

text: An automaton is history-deterministic (HD) if one can safely resolve its non-deterministic
choices on the fly. In a recent paper, Henzinger, Lehtinen and Totzke studied
this in the context of Timed Automata [9], where it was conjectured that the class
of timed ω-languages recognised by HD-timed automata strictly extends that of
deterministic ones. We provide a proof for this fact.

text: "We introduce a new statistical verification algorithm that formally quantifies
the behavioral robustness of any time-continuous process formulated as a continuous-depth
model. Our algorithm solves a set of global optimization (Go) problems over a
given time horizon to construct a tight enclosure (Tube) of the set of all process
executions starting from a ball of initial states. We call our algorithm GoTube.
Through its construction, GoTube ensures that the bounding tube is conservative
up to a desired probability and up to a desired tightness.\r\n GoTube is implemented
in JAX and optimized to scale to complex continuous-depth neural network models.
Compared to advanced reachability analysis tools for time-continuous neural networks,
GoTube does not accumulate overapproximation errors between time steps and avoids
the infamous wrapping effect inherent in symbolic techniques. We show that GoTube
substantially outperforms state-of-the-art verification tools in terms of the
size of the initial ball, speed, time-horizon, task completion, and scalability
on a large set of experiments.\r\n GoTube is stable and sets the state-of-the-art
in terms of its ability to scale to time horizons well beyond what has been previously
possible."

text: "We consider the problem of formally verifying almost-sure (a.s.) asymptotic
stability in discrete-time nonlinear stochastic control systems. While verifying
stability in deterministic control systems is extensively studied in the literature,
verifying stability in stochastic control systems is an open problem. The few
existing works on this topic either consider only specialized forms of stochasticity
or make restrictive assumptions on the system, rendering them inapplicable to
learning algorithms with neural network policies. \r\n In this work, we present
an approach for general nonlinear stochastic control problems with two novel aspects:
(a) instead of classical stochastic extensions of Lyapunov functions, we use ranking
supermartingales (RSMs) to certify a.s. asymptotic stability, and (b) we present
a method for learning neural network RSMs. \r\n We prove that our approach guarantees
a.s. asymptotic stability of the system and\r\n provides the first method to obtain
bounds on the stabilization time, which stochastic Lyapunov functions do not.\r\n
Finally, we validate our approach experimentally on a set of nonlinear stochastic
reinforcement learning environments with neural network policies."

text: "In this work, we address the problem of learning provably stable neural\r\nnetwork
policies for stochastic control systems. While recent work has\r\ndemonstrated
the feasibility of certifying given policies using martingale\r\ntheory, the problem
of how to learn such policies is little explored. Here, we\r\nstudy the effectiveness
of jointly learning a policy together with a martingale\r\ncertificate that proves
its stability using a single learning algorithm. We\r\nobserve that the joint
optimization problem becomes easily stuck in local\r\nminima when starting from
a randomly initialized policy. Our results suggest\r\nthat some form of pre-training
of the policy is required for the joint\r\noptimization to repair and verify the
policy successfully."

text: We study the problem of learning controllers for discrete-time non-linear
stochastic dynamical systems with formal reach-avoid guarantees. This work presents
the first method for providing formal reach-avoid guarantees, which combine and
generalize stability and safety guarantees, with a tolerable probability threshold
$p\in[0,1]$ over the infinite time horizon. Our method leverages advances in machine
learning literature and it represents formal certificates as neural networks.
In particular, we learn a certificate in the form of a reach-avoid supermartingale
(RASM), a novel notion that we introduce in this work. Our RASMs provide reachability
and avoidance guarantees by imposing constraints on what can be viewed as a stochastic
extension of level sets of Lyapunov functions for deterministic systems. Our approach
solves several important problems -- it can be used to learn a control policy
from scratch, to verify a reach-avoid specification for a fixed control policy,
or to fine-tune a pre-trained policy if it does not satisfy the reach-avoid specification.
We validate our approach on $3$ stochastic non-linear reinforcement learning tasks.

text: "Gradual typing is a principled means for mixing typed and untyped code. But
typed and untyped code often exhibit different programming patterns. There is
already substantial research investigating gradually giving types to code exhibiting
typical untyped patterns, and some research investigating gradually removing types
from code exhibiting typical typed patterns. This paper investigates how to extend
these established gradual-typing concepts to give formal guarantees not only about
how to change types as code evolves but also about how to change such programming
patterns as well.\r\n\r\nIn particular, we explore mixing untyped \"structural\"
code with typed \"nominal\" code in an object-oriented language. But whereas previous
work only allowed \"nominal\" objects to be treated as \"structural\" objects,
we also allow \"structural\" objects to dynamically acquire certain nominal types,
namely interfaces. We present a calculus that supports such \"cross-paradigm\"
code migration and interoperation in a manner satisfying both the static and dynamic
gradual guarantees, and demonstrate that the calculus can be implemented efficiently."

text: "We show that Neural ODEs, an emerging class of timecontinuous neural networks,
can be verified by solving a set of global-optimization problems. For this purpose,
we introduce Stochastic Lagrangian Reachability (SLR), an\r\nabstraction-based
technique for constructing a tight Reachtube (an over-approximation of the set
of reachable states\r\nover a given time-horizon), and provide stochastic guarantees
in the form of confidence intervals for the Reachtube bounds. SLR inherently avoids
the infamous wrapping effect (accumulation of over-approximation errors) by performing
local optimization steps to expand safe regions instead of repeatedly forward-propagating
them as is done by deterministic reachability methods. To enable fast local optimizations,
we introduce a novel forward-mode adjoint sensitivity method to compute gradients
without the need for backpropagation. Finally, we establish asymptotic and non-asymptotic
convergence rates for SLR."

text: We introduce a new class of time-continuous recurrent neural network models.
Instead of declaring a learning system’s dynamics by implicit nonlinearities,
we construct networks of linear first-order dynamical systems modulated via nonlinear
interlinked gates. The resulting models represent dynamical systems with varying
(i.e., liquid) time-constants coupled to their hidden state, with outputs being
computed by numerical differential equation solvers. These neural networks exhibit
stable and bounded behavior, yield superior expressivity within the family of
neural ordinary differential equations, and give rise to improved performance
on time-series prediction tasks. To demonstrate these properties, we first take
a theoretical approach to find bounds over their dynamics, and compute their expressive
power by the trajectory length measure in a latent trajectory space. We then conduct
a series of time-series prediction experiments to manifest the approximation capability
of Liquid Time-Constant Networks (LTCs) compared to classical and modern RNNs.

text: 'Robustness to variations in lighting conditions is a key objective for any
deep vision system. To this end, our paper extends the receptive field of convolutional
neural networks with two residual components, ubiquitous in the visual processing
system of vertebrates: On-center and off-center pathways, with an excitatory center
and inhibitory surround; OOCS for short. The On-center pathway is excited by the
presence of a light stimulus in its center, but not in its surround, whereas the
Off-center pathway is excited by the absence of a light stimulus in its center,
but not in its surround. We design OOCS pathways via a difference of Gaussians,
with their variance computed analytically from the size of the receptive fields.
OOCS pathways complement each other in their response to light stimuli, ensuring
this way a strong edge-detection capability, and as a result an accurate and robust
inference under challenging lighting conditions. We provide extensive empirical
evidence showing that networks supplied with OOCS pathways gain accuracy and illumination-robustness
from the novel edge representation, compared to other baselines.'

text: "Imitation learning enables high-fidelity, vision-based learning of policies
within rich, photorealistic environments. However, such techniques often rely
on traditional discrete-time neural models and face difficulties in generalizing
to domain shifts by failing to account for the causal relationships between the
agent and the environment. In this paper, we propose a theoretical and experimental
framework for learning causal representations using continuous-time neural networks,
specifically over their discrete-time counterparts. We evaluate our method in
the context of visual-control learning of drones over a series of complex tasks,
ranging from short- and long-term navigation, to chasing static and dynamic objects
through photorealistic environments. Our results demonstrate that causal continuous-time\r\ndeep
models can perform robust navigation tasks, where advanced recurrent models fail.
These models learn complex causal control representations directly from raw visual
inputs and scale to solve a variety of tasks using imitation learning."

text: "Civl is a static verifier for concurrent programs designed around the conceptual
framework of layered refinement,\r\nwhich views the task of verifying a program
as a sequence of program simplification steps each justified by its own invariant.
Civl verifies a layered concurrent program that compactly expresses all the programs
in this sequence and the supporting invariants. This paper presents the design
and implementation of the Civl verifier."

text: We comment on two formal proofs of Fermat's sum of two squares theorem, written
using the Mathematical Components libraries of the Coq proof assistant. The first
one follows Zagier's celebrated one-sentence proof; the second follows David Christopher's
recent new proof relying on partition-theoretic arguments. Both formal proofs
rely on a general property of involutions of finite sets, of independent interest.
The proof technique consists for the most part of automating recurrent tasks (such
as case distinctions and computations on natural numbers) via ad hoc tactics.

text: "Formal verification of neural networks is an active topic of research, and
recent advances have significantly increased the size of the networks that verification
tools can handle. However, most methods are designed for verification of an idealized
model of the actual network which works over real arithmetic and ignores rounding
imprecisions. This idealization is in stark contrast to network quantization,
which is a technique that trades numerical precision for computational efficiency
and is, therefore, often applied in practice. Neglecting rounding errors of such
low-bit quantized neural networks has been shown to lead to wrong conclusions
about the network’s correctness. Thus, the desired approach for verifying quantized
neural networks would be one that takes these rounding errors\r\ninto account.
In this paper, we show that verifying the bitexact implementation of quantized
neural networks with bitvector specifications is PSPACE-hard, even though verifying
idealized real-valued networks and satisfiability of bit-vector specifications
alone are each in NP. Furthermore, we explore several practical heuristics toward
closing the complexity gap between idealized and bit-exact verification. In particular,
we propose three techniques for making SMT-based verification of quantized neural
networks more scalable. Our experiments demonstrate that our proposed methods
allow a speedup of up to three orders of magnitude over existing approaches."

text: Bayesian neural networks (BNNs) place distributions over the weights of a
neural network to model uncertainty in the data and the network's prediction.
We consider the problem of verifying safety when running a Bayesian neural network
policy in a feedback loop with infinite time horizon systems. Compared to the
existing sampling-based approaches, which are inapplicable to the infinite time
horizon setting, we train a separate deterministic neural network that serves
as an infinite time horizon safety certificate. In particular, we show that the
certificate network guarantees the safety of the system over a subset of the BNN
weight posterior's support. Our method first computes a safe weight set and then
alters the BNN's weight posterior to reject samples outside this set. Moreover,
we show how to extend our approach to a safe-exploration reinforcement learning
setting, in order to avoid unsafe trajectories during the training of the policy.
We evaluate our approach on a series of reinforcement learning benchmarks, including
non-Lyapunovian safety specifications.

text: "For automata, synchronization, the problem of bringing an automaton to a
particular state regardless of its initial state, is important. It has several
applications in practice and is related to a fifty-year-old conjecture on the
length of the shortest synchronizing word. Although using shorter words increases
the effectiveness in practice, finding a shortest one (which is not necessarily
unique) is NP-hard. For this reason, there exist various heuristics in the literature.
However, high-quality heuristics such as SynchroP producing relatively shorter
sequences are very expensive and can take hours when the automaton has tens of
thousands of states. The SynchroP heuristic has been frequently used as a benchmark
to evaluate the performance of the new heuristics. In this work, we first improve
the runtime of SynchroP and its variants by using algorithmic techniques. We then
focus on adapting SynchroP for many-core architectures,\r\nand overall, we obtain
more than 1000× speedup on GPUs compared to naive sequential implementation that
has been frequently used as a benchmark to evaluate new heuristics in the literature.
We also propose two SynchroP variants and evaluate their performance."

as given in Table 11.

text: Formal design of embedded and cyber-physical systems relies on mathematical
modeling. In this paper, we consider the model class of hybrid automata whose
dynamics are defined by affine differential equations. Given a set of time-series
data, we present an algorithmic approach to synthesize a hybrid automaton exhibiting
behavior that is close to the data, up to a specified precision, and changes in
synchrony with the data. A fundamental problem in our synthesis algorithm is to
check membership of a time series in a hybrid automaton. Our solution integrates
reachability and optimization techniques for affine dynamical systems to obtain
both a sufficient and a necessary condition for membership, combined in a refinement
framework. The algorithm processes one time series at a time and hence can be
interrupted, provide an intermediate result, and be resumed. We report experimental
results demonstrating the applicability of our synthesis approach.

text: 'A graph game proceeds as follows: two players move a token through a graph
to produce a finite or infinite path, which determines the payoff of the game.
We study bidding games in which in each turn, an auction determines which player
moves the token. Bidding games were largely studied in combination with two variants
of first-price auctions called “Richman” and “poorman” bidding. We study taxman
bidding, which span the spectrum between the two. The game is parameterized by
a constant : portion τ of the winning bid is paid to the other player, and portion to
the bank. While finite-duration (reachability) taxman games have been studied
before, we present, for the first time, results on infinite-duration taxman games:
we unify, generalize, and simplify previous equivalences between bidding games
and a class of stochastic games called random-turn games.'

text: 'In runtime verification, a monitor watches a trace of a system and, if possible,
decides after observing each finite prefix whether or not the unknown infinite
trace satisfies a given specification. We generalize the theory of runtime verification
to monitors that attempt to estimate numerical values of quantitative trace properties
(instead of attempting to conclude boolean values of trace specifications), such
as maximal or average response time along a trace. Quantitative monitors are approximate:
with every finite prefix, they can improve their estimate of the infinite trace''s
unknown property value. Consequently, quantitative monitors can be compared with
regard to a precision-cost trade-off: better approximations of the property value
require more monitor resources, such as states (in the case of finite-state monitors)
or registers, and additional resources yield better approximations. We introduce
a formal framework for quantitative and approximate monitoring, show how it conservatively
generalizes the classical boolean setting for monitoring, and give several precision-cost
trade-offs for monitors. For example, we prove that there are quantitative properties
for which every additional register improves monitoring precision.'

text: 'Gene expression is regulated by the set of transcription factors (TFs) that
bind to the promoter. The ensuing regulating function is often represented as
a combinational logic circuit, where output (gene expression) is determined by
current input values (promoter bound TFs) only. However, the simultaneous arrival
of TFs is a strong assumption, since transcription and translation of genes introduce
intrinsic time delays and there is no global synchronisation among the arrival
times of different molecular species at their targets. We present an experimentally
implementable genetic circuit with two inputs and one output, which in the presence
of small delays in input arrival, exhibits qualitatively distinct population-level
phenotypes, over timescales that are longer than typical cell doubling times.
From a dynamical systems point of view, these phenotypes represent long-lived
transients: although they converge to the same value eventually, they do so after
a very long time span. The key feature of this toy model genetic circuit is that,
despite having only two inputs and one output, it is regulated by twenty-three
distinct DNA-TF configurations, two of which are more stable than others (DNA
looped states), one promoting and another blocking the expression of the output
gene. Small delays in input arrival time result in a majority of cells in the
population quickly reaching the stable state associated with the first input,
while exiting of this stable state occurs at a slow timescale. In order to mechanistically
model the behaviour of this genetic circuit, we used a rule-based modelling language,
and implemented a grid-search to find parameter combinations giving rise to long-lived
transients. Our analysis shows that in the absence of feedback, there exist path-dependent
gene regulatory mechanisms based on the long timescale of transients. The behaviour
of this toy model circuit suggests that gene regulatory networks can exploit event
timing to create phenotypes, and it opens the possibility that they could use
event timing to memorise events, without regulatory feedback. The model reveals
the importance of (i) mechanistically modelling the transitions between the different
DNA-TF states, and (ii) employing transient analysis thereof.'

text: We argue that the time is ripe to investigate differential monitoring, in
which the specification of a program's behavior is implicitly given by a second
program implementing the same informal specification. Similar ideas have been
proposed before, and are currently implemented in restricted form for testing
and specialized run-time analyses, aspects of which we combine. We discuss the
challenges of implementing differential monitoring as a general-purpose, black-box
run-time monitoring framework, and present promising results of a preliminary
implementation, showing low monitoring overheads for diverse programs.

text: While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have found wide adoption as state-of-the-art
models for image-related tasks, their predictions are often highly sensitive to
small input perturbations, which the human vision is robust against. This paper
presents Perturber, a web-based application that allows users to instantaneously
explore how CNN activations and predictions evolve when a 3D input scene is interactively
perturbed. Perturber offers a large variety of scene modifications, such as camera
controls, lighting and shading effects, background modifications, object morphing,
as well as adversarial attacks, to facilitate the discovery of potential vulnerabilities.
Fine-tuned model versions can be directly compared for qualitative evaluation
of their robustness. Case studies with machine learning experts have shown that
Perturber helps users to quickly generate hypotheses about model vulnerabilities
and to qualitatively compare model behavior. Using quantitative analyses, we could
replicate users’ insights with other CNN architectures and input images, yielding
new insights about the vulnerability of adversarially trained models.

text: 'In two-player games on graphs, the players move a token through a graph to
produce an infinite path, which determines the winner of the game. Such games
are central in formal methods since they model the interaction between a non-terminating
system and its environment. In bidding games the players bid for the right to
move the token: in each round, the players simultaneously submit bids, and the
higher bidder moves the token and pays the other player. Bidding games are known
to have a clean and elegant mathematical structure that relies on the ability
of the players to submit arbitrarily small bids. Many applications, however, require
a fixed granularity for the bids, which can represent, for example, the monetary
value expressed in cents. We study, for the first time, the combination of discrete-bidding
and infinite-duration games. Our most important result proves that these games
form a large determined subclass of concurrent games, where determinacy is the
strong property that there always exists exactly one player who can guarantee
winning the game. In particular, we show that, in contrast to non-discrete bidding
games, the mechanism with which tied bids are resolved plays an important role
in discrete-bidding games. We study several natural tie-breaking mechanisms and
show that, while some do not admit determinacy, most natural mechanisms imply
determinacy for every pair of initial budgets.'

text: Adversarial training is an effective method to train deep learning models
that are resilient to norm-bounded perturbations, with the cost of nominal performance
drop. While adversarial training appears to enhance the robustness and safety
of a deep model deployed in open-world decision-critical applications, counterintuitively,
it induces undesired behaviors in robot learning settings. In this paper, we show
theoretically and experimentally that neural controllers obtained via adversarial
training are subjected to three types of defects, namely transient, systematic,
and conditional errors. We first generalize adversarial training to a safety-domain
optimization scheme allowing for more generic specifications. We then prove that
such a learning process tends to cause certain error profiles. We support our
theoretical results by a thorough experimental safety analysis in a robot-learning
task. Our results suggest that adversarial training is not yet ready for robot
learning.

text: Neural-network classifiers achieve high accuracy when predicting the class
of an input that they were trained to identify. Maintaining this accuracy in dynamic
environments, where inputs frequently fall outside the fixed set of initially
known classes, remains a challenge. The typical approach is to detect inputs from
novel classes and retrain the classifier on an augmented dataset. However, not
only the classifier but also the detection mechanism needs to adapt in order to
distinguish between newly learned and yet unknown input classes. To address this
challenge, we introduce an algorithmic framework for active monitoring of a neural
network. A monitor wrapped in our framework operates in parallel with the neural
network and interacts with a human user via a series of interpretable labeling
queries for incremental adaptation. In addition, we propose an adaptive quantitative
monitor to improve precision. An experimental evaluation on a diverse set of benchmarks
with varying numbers of classes confirms the benefits of our active monitoring
framework in dynamic scenarios.

text: We propose a neural information processing system obtained by re-purposing
the function of a biological neural circuit model to govern simulated and real-world
control tasks. Inspired by the structure of the nervous system of the soil-worm,
C. elegans, we introduce ordinary neural circuits (ONCs), defined as the model
of biological neural circuits reparameterized for the control of alternative tasks.
We first demonstrate that ONCs realize networks with higher maximum flow compared
to arbitrary wired networks. We then learn instances of ONCs to control a series
of robotic tasks, including the autonomous parking of a real-world rover robot.
For reconfiguration of the purpose of the neural circuit, we adopt a search-based
optimization algorithm. Ordinary neural circuits perform on par and, in some cases,
significantly surpass the performance of contemporary deep learning models. ONC
networks are compact, 77% sparser than their counterpart neural controllers, and
their neural dynamics are fully interpretable at the cell-level.

text: 'The monitoring of event frequencies can be used to recognize behavioral anomalies,
to identify trends, and to deduce or discard hypotheses about the underlying system.
For example, the performance of a web server may be monitored based on the ratio
of the total count of requests from the least and most active clients. Exact frequency
monitoring, however, can be prohibitively expensive; in the above example it would
require as many counters as there are clients. In this paper, we propose the efficient
probabilistic monitoring of common frequency properties, including the mode (i.e.,
the most common event) and the median of an event sequence. We define a logic
to express composite frequency properties as a combination of atomic frequency
properties. Our main contribution is an algorithm that, under suitable probabilistic
assumptions, can be used to monitor these important frequency properties with
four counters, independent of the number of different events. Our algorithm samples
longer and longer subwords of an infinite event sequence. We prove the almost-sure
convergence of our algorithm by generalizing ergodic theory from increasing-length
prefixes to increasing-length subwords of an infinite sequence. A similar algorithm
could be used to learn a connected Markov chain of a given structure from observing
its outputs, to arbitrary precision, for a given confidence. '

text: 'We present the results of the ARCH 2020 friendly competition for formal verification
of continuous and hybrid systems with linear continuous dynamics. In its fourth
edition, eight tools have been applied to solve eight different benchmark problems
in the category for linear continuous dynamics (in alphabetical order): CORA,
C2E2, HyDRA, Hylaa, Hylaa-Continuous, JuliaReach, SpaceEx, and XSpeed. This report
is a snapshot of the current landscape of tools and the types of benchmarks they
are particularly suited for. Due to the diversity of problems, we are not ranking
tools, yet the presented results provide one of the most complete assessments
of tools for the safety verification of continuous and hybrid systems with linear
continuous dynamics up to this date.'

text: We present the results of a friendly competition for formal verification of
continuous and hybrid systems with nonlinear continuous dynamics. The friendly
competition took place as part of the workshop Applied Verification for Continuous
and Hybrid Systems (ARCH) in 2020. This year, 6 tools Ariadne, CORA, DynIbex,
Flow*, Isabelle/HOL, and JuliaReach (in alphabetic order) participated. These
tools are applied to solve reachability analysis problems on six benchmark problems,
two of them featuring hybrid dynamics. We do not rank the tools based on the results,
but show the current status and discover the potential advantages of different
tools.

text: 'A vector addition system with states (VASS) consists of a finite set of states
and counters. A transition changes the current state to the next state, and every
counter is either incremented, or decremented, or left unchanged. A state and
value for each counter is a configuration; and a computation is an infinite sequence
of configurations with transitions between successive configurations. A probabilistic
VASS consists of a VASS along with a probability distribution over the transitions
for each state. Qualitative properties such as state and configuration reachability
have been widely studied for VASS. In this work we consider multi-dimensional
long-run average objectives for VASS and probabilistic VASS. For a counter, the
cost of a configuration is the value of the counter; and the long-run average
value of a computation for the counter is the long-run average of the costs of
the configurations in the computation. The multi-dimensional long-run average
problem given a VASS and a threshold value for each counter, asks whether there
is a computation such that for each counter the long-run average value for the
counter does not exceed the respective threshold. For probabilistic VASS, instead
of the existence of a computation, we consider whether the expected long-run average
value for each counter does not exceed the respective threshold. Our main results
are as follows: we show that the multi-dimensional long-run average problem (a)
is NP-complete for integer-valued VASS; (b) is undecidable for natural-valued
VASS (i.e., nonnegative counters); and (c) can be solved in polynomial time for
probabilistic integer-valued VASS, and probabilistic natural-valued VASS when
all computations are non-terminating.'

text: A graph game is a two-player zero-sum game in which the players move a token
throughout a graph to produce an infinite path, which determines the winner or
payoff of the game. In bidding games, both players have budgets, and in each turn,
we hold an "auction" (bidding) to determine which player moves the token. In this
survey, we consider several bidding mechanisms and study their effect on the properties
of the game. Specifically, bidding games, and in particular bidding games of infinite
duration, have an intriguing equivalence with random-turn games in which in each
turn, the player who moves is chosen randomly. We show how minor changes in the
bidding mechanism lead to unexpected differences in the equivalence with random-turn
games.

text: Machine learning and formal methods have complimentary benefits and drawbacks.
In this work, we address the controller-design problem with a combination of techniques
from both fields. The use of black-box neural networks in deep reinforcement learning
(deep RL) poses a challenge for such a combination. Instead of reasoning formally
about the output of deep RL, which we call the wizard, we extract from it a decision-tree
based model, which we refer to as the magic book. Using the extracted model as
an intermediary, we are able to handle problems that are infeasible for either
deep RL or formal methods by themselves. First, we suggest, for the first time,
a synthesis procedure that is based on a magic book. We synthesize a stand-alone
correct-by-design controller that enjoys the favorable performance of RL. Second,
we incorporate a magic book in a bounded model checking (BMC) procedure. BMC allows
us to find numerous traces of the plant under the control of the wizard, which
a user can use to increase the trustworthiness of the wizard and direct further
training.

text: "Second-order information, in the form of Hessian- or Inverse-Hessian-vector
products, is a fundamental tool for solving optimization problems. Recently, there
has been significant interest in utilizing this information in the context of
deep\r\nneural networks; however, relatively little is known about the quality
of existing approximations in this context. Our work examines this question, identifies
issues with existing approaches, and proposes a method called WoodFisher to compute
a faithful and efficient estimate of the inverse Hessian. Our main application
is to neural network compression, where we build on the classic Optimal Brain
Damage/Surgeon framework. We demonstrate that WoodFisher significantly outperforms
popular state-of-the-art methods for oneshot pruning. Further, even when iterative,
gradual pruning is allowed, our method results in a gain in test accuracy over
the state-of-the-art approaches, for standard image classification datasets such
as ImageNet ILSVRC. We examine how our method can be extended to take into account
first-order information, as well as\r\nillustrate its ability to automatically
set layer-wise pruning thresholds and perform compression in the limited-data
regime. The code is available at the following link, https://github.com/IST-DASLab/WoodFisher."

text: 'We introduce LRT-NG, a set of techniques and an associated toolset that computes
a reachtube (an over-approximation of the set of reachable states over a given
time horizon) of a nonlinear dynamical system. LRT-NG significantly advances the
state-of-the-art Langrangian Reachability and its associated tool LRT. From a
theoretical perspective, LRT-NG is superior to LRT in three ways. First, it uses
for the first time an analytically computed metric for the propagated ball which
is proven to minimize the ball’s volume. We emphasize that the metric computation
is the centerpiece of all bloating-based techniques. Secondly, it computes the
next reachset as the intersection of two balls: one based on the Cartesian metric
and the other on the new metric. While the two metrics were previously considered
opposing approaches, their joint use considerably tightens the reachtubes. Thirdly,
it avoids the "wrapping effect" associated with the validated integration of the
center of the reachset, by optimally absorbing the interval approximation in the
radius of the next ball. From a tool-development perspective, LRT-NG is superior
to LRT in two ways. First, it is a standalone tool that no longer relies on CAPD.
This required the implementation of the Lohner method and a Runge-Kutta time-propagation
method. Secondly, it has an improved interface, allowing the input model and initial
conditions to be provided as external input files. Our experiments on a comprehensive
set of benchmarks, including two Neural ODEs, demonstrates LRT-NG’s superior performance
compared to LRT, CAPD, and Flow*.'

text: The family of feedback alignment (FA) algorithms aims to provide a more biologically
motivated alternative to backpropagation (BP), by substituting the computations
that are unrealistic to be implemented in physical brains. While FA algorithms
have been shown to work well in practice, there is a lack of rigorous theory proofing
their learning capabilities. Here we introduce the first feedback alignment algorithm
with provable learning guarantees. In contrast to existing work, we do not require
any assumption about the size or depth of the network except that it has a single
output neuron, i.e., such as for binary classification tasks. We show that our
FA algorithm can deliver its theoretical promises in practice, surpassing the
learning performance of existing FA methods and matching backpropagation in binary
classification tasks. Finally, we demonstrate the limits of our FA variant when
the number of output neurons grows beyond a certain quantity.

text: Quantization converts neural networks into low-bit fixed-point computations
which can be carried out by efficient integer-only hardware, and is standard practice
for the deployment of neural networks on real-time embedded devices. However,
like their real-numbered counterpart, quantized networks are not immune to malicious
misclassification caused by adversarial attacks. We investigate how quantization
affects a network’s robustness to adversarial attacks, which is a formal verification
question. We show that neither robustness nor non-robustness are monotonic with
changing the number of bits for the representation and, also, neither are preserved
by quantization from a real-numbered network. For this reason, we introduce a
verification method for quantized neural networks which, using SMT solving over
bit-vectors, accounts for their exact, bit-precise semantics. We built a tool
and analyzed the effect of quantization on a classifier for the MNIST dataset.
We demonstrate that, compared to our method, existing methods for the analysis
of real-numbered networks often derive false conclusions about their quantizations,
both when determining robustness and when detecting attacks, and that existing
methods for quantized networks often miss attacks. Furthermore, we applied our
method beyond robustness, showing how the number of bits in quantization enlarges
the gender bias of a predictor for students’ grades.

text: In resource allocation games, selfish players share resources that are needed
in order to fulfill their objectives. The cost of using a resource depends on
the load on it. In the traditional setting, the players make their choices concurrently
and in one-shot. That is, a strategy for a player is a subset of the resources.
We introduce and study dynamic resource allocation games. In this setting, the
game proceeds in phases. In each phase each player chooses one resource. A scheduler
dictates the order in which the players proceed in a phase, possibly scheduling
several players to proceed concurrently. The game ends when each player has collected
a set of resources that fulfills his objective. The cost for each player then
depends on this set as well as on the load on the resources in it – we consider
both congestion and cost-sharing games. We argue that the dynamic setting is the
suitable setting for many applications in practice. We study the stability of
dynamic resource allocation games, where the appropriate notion of stability is
that of subgame perfect equilibrium, study the inefficiency incurred due to selfish
behavior, and also study problems that are particular to the dynamic setting,
like constraints on the order in which resources can be chosen or the problem
of finding a scheduler that achieves stability.

text: Neural networks have demonstrated unmatched performance in a range of classification
tasks. Despite numerous efforts of the research community, novelty detection remains
one of the significant limitations of neural networks. The ability to identify
previously unseen inputs as novel is crucial for our understanding of the decisions
made by neural networks. At runtime, inputs not falling into any of the categories
learned during training cannot be classified correctly by the neural network.
Existing approaches treat the neural network as a black box and try to detect
novel inputs based on the confidence of the output predictions. However, neural
networks are not trained to reduce their confidence for novel inputs, which limits
the effectiveness of these approaches. We propose a framework to monitor a neural
network by observing the hidden layers. We employ a common abstraction from program
analysis - boxes - to identify novel behaviors in the monitored layers, i.e.,
inputs that cause behaviors outside the box. For each neuron, the boxes range
over the values seen in training. The framework is efficient and flexible to achieve
a desired trade-off between raising false warnings and detecting novel inputs.
We illustrate the performance and the robustness to variability in the unknown
classes on popular image-classification benchmarks.

text: 'Fixed-point arithmetic is a popular alternative to floating-point arithmetic
on embedded systems. Existing work on the verification of fixed-point programs
relies on custom formalizations of fixed-point arithmetic, which makes it hard
to compare the described techniques or reuse the implementations. In this paper,
we address this issue by proposing and formalizing an SMT theory of fixed-point
arithmetic. We present an intuitive yet comprehensive syntax of the fixed-point
theory, and provide formal semantics for it based on rational arithmetic. We also
describe two decision procedures for this theory: one based on the theory of bit-vectors
and the other on the theory of reals. We implement the two decision procedures,
and evaluate our implementations using existing mature SMT solvers on a benchmark
suite we created. Finally, we perform a case study of using the theory we propose
to verify properties of quantized neural networks.'

text: A central goal of artificial intelligence in high-stakes decision-making applications
is to design a single algorithm that simultaneously expresses generalizability
by learning coherent representations of their world and interpretable explanations
of its dynamics. Here, we combine brain-inspired neural computation principles
and scalable deep learning architectures to design compact neural controllers
for task-specific compartments of a full-stack autonomous vehicle control system.
We discover that a single algorithm with 19 control neurons, connecting 32 encapsulated
input features to outputs by 253 synapses, learns to map high-dimensional inputs
into steering commands. This system shows superior generalizability, interpretability
and robustness compared with orders-of-magnitude larger black-box learning systems.
The obtained neural agents enable high-fidelity autonomy for task-specific parts
of a complex autonomous system.

text: Traditional robotic control suits require profound task-specific knowledge
for designing, building and testing control software. The rise of Deep Learning
has enabled end-to-end solutions to be learned entirely from data, requiring minimal
knowledge about the application area. We design a learning scheme to train end-to-end
linear dynamical systems (LDS)s by gradient descent in imitation learning robotic
domains. We introduce a new regularization loss component together with a learning
algorithm that improves the stability of the learned autonomous system, by forcing
the eigenvalues of the internal state updates of an LDS to be negative reals.
We evaluate our approach on a series of real-life and simulated robotic experiments,
in comparison to linear and nonlinear Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architectures.
Our results show that our stabilizing method significantly improves test performance
of LDS, enabling such linear models to match the performance of contemporary nonlinear
RNN architectures. A video of the obstacle avoidance performance of our method
on a mobile robot, in unseen environments, compared to other methods can be viewed
at https://youtu.be/mhEsCoNao5E.

text: "Efficiently handling time-triggered and possibly nondeterministic switches\r\nfor
hybrid systems reachability is a challenging task. In this paper we present\r\nan
approach based on conservative set-based enclosure of the dynamics that can\r\nhandle
systems with uncertain parameters and inputs, where the uncertainties\r\nare bound
to given intervals. The method is evaluated on the plant model of an\r\nexperimental
electro-mechanical braking system with periodic controller. In\r\nthis model,
the fast-switching controller dynamics requires simulation time\r\nscales of the
order of nanoseconds. Accurate set-based computations for\r\nrelatively large
time horizons are known to be expensive. However, by\r\nappropriately decoupling
the time variable with respect to the spatial\r\nvariables, and enclosing the
uncertain parameters using interval matrix maps\r\nacting on zonotopes, we show
that the computation time can be lowered to 5000\r\ntimes faster with respect
to previous works. This is a step forward in formal\r\nverification of hybrid
systems because reduced run-times allow engineers to\r\nintroduce more expressiveness
in their models with a relatively inexpensive\r\ncomputational cost."

text: Reachability analysis aims at identifying states reachable by a system within
a given time horizon. This task is known to be computationally expensive for linear
hybrid systems. Reachability analysis works by iteratively applying continuous
and discrete post operators to compute states reachable according to continuous
and discrete dynamics, respectively. In this paper, we enhance both of these operators
and make sure that most of the involved computations are performed in low-dimensional
state space. In particular, we improve the continuous-post operator by performing
computations in high-dimensional state space only for time intervals relevant
for the subsequent application of the discrete-post operator. Furthermore, the
new discrete-post operator performs low-dimensional computations by leveraging
the structure of the guard and assignment of a considered transition. We illustrate
the potential of our approach on a number of challenging benchmarks.

text: In this paper we introduce and study all-pay bidding games, a class of two
player, zero-sum games on graphs. The game proceeds as follows. We place a token
on some vertex in the graph and assign budgets to the two players. Each turn,
each player submits a sealed legal bid (non-negative and below their remaining
budget), which is deducted from their budget and the highest bidder moves the
token onto an adjacent vertex. The game ends once a sink is reached, and Player
1 pays Player 2 the outcome that is associated with the sink. The players attempt
to maximize their expected outcome. Our games model settings where effort (of
no inherent value) needs to be invested in an ongoing and stateful manner. On
the negative side, we show that even in simple games on DAGs, optimal strategies
may require a distribution over bids with infinite support. A central quantity
in bidding games is the ratio of the players budgets. On the positive side, we
show a simple FPTAS for DAGs, that, for each budget ratio, outputs an approximation
for the optimal strategy for that ratio. We also implement it, show that it performs
well, and suggests interesting properties of these games. Then, given an outcome
c, we show an algorithm for finding the necessary and sufficient initial ratio
for guaranteeing outcome c with probability 1 and a strategy ensuring such. Finally,
while the general case has not previously been studied, solving the specific game
in which Player 1 wins iff he wins the first two auctions, has been long stated
as an open question, which we solve.

text: We introduce the monitoring of trace properties under assumptions. An assumption
limits the space of possible traces that the monitor may encounter. An assumption
may result from knowledge about the system that is being monitored, about the
environment, or about another, connected monitor. We define monitorability under
assumptions and study its theoretical properties. In particular, we show that
for every assumption A, the boolean combinations of properties that are safe or
co-safe relative to A are monitorable under A. We give several examples and constructions
on how an assumption can make a non-monitorable property monitorable, and how
an assumption can make a monitorable property monitorable with fewer resources,
such as integer registers.

text: This paper presents a foundation for refining concurrent programs with structured
control flow. The verification problem is decomposed into subproblems that aid
interactive program development, proof reuse, and automation. The formalization
in this paper is the basis of a new design and implementation of the Civl verifier.

text: Asynchronous programs are notoriously difficult to reason about because they
spawn computation tasks which take effect asynchronously in a nondeterministic
way. Devising inductive invariants for such programs requires understanding and
stating complex relationships between an unbounded number of computation tasks
in arbitrarily long executions. In this paper, we introduce inductive sequentialization,
a new proof rule that sidesteps this complexity via a sequential reduction, a
sequential program that captures every behavior of the original program up to
reordering of coarse-grained commutative actions. A sequential reduction of a
concurrent program is easy to reason about since it corresponds to a simple execution
of the program in an idealized synchronous environment, where processes act in
a fixed order and at the same speed. We have implemented and integrated our proof
rule in the CIVL verifier, allowing us to provably derive fine-grained implementations
of asynchronous programs. We have successfully applied our proof rule to a diverse
set of message-passing protocols, including leader election protocols, two-phase
commit, and Paxos.

text: We introduce in this paper AMT2.0, a tool for qualitative and quantitative
analysis of hybrid continuous and Boolean signals that combine numerical values
and discrete events. The evaluation of the signals is based on rich temporal specifications
expressed in extended signal temporal logic, which integrates timed regular expressions
within signal temporal logic. The tool features qualitative monitoring (property
satisfaction checking), trace diagnostics for explaining and justifying property
violations and specification-driven measurement of quantitative features of the
signal. We demonstrate the tool functionality on several running examples and
case studies, and evaluate its performance.

text: "Designing and verifying concurrent programs is a notoriously challenging,
time consuming, and error prone task, even for experts. This is due to the sheer
number of possible interleavings of a concurrent program, all of which have to
be tracked and accounted for in a formal proof. Inventing an inductive invariant
that captures all interleavings of a low-level implementation is theoretically
possible, but practically intractable. We develop a refinement-based verification
framework that provides mechanisms to simplify proof construction by decomposing
the verification task into smaller subtasks.\r\n\r\nIn a first line of work, we
present a foundation for refinement reasoning over structured concurrent programs.
We introduce layered concurrent programs as a compact notation to represent multi-layer
refinement proofs. A layered concurrent program specifies a sequence of connected
concurrent programs, from most concrete to most abstract, such that common parts
of different programs are written exactly once. Each program in this sequence
is expressed as structured concurrent program, i.e., a program over (potentially
recursive) procedures, imperative control flow, gated atomic actions, structured
parallelism, and asynchronous concurrency. This is in contrast to existing refinement-based
verifiers, which represent concurrent systems as flat transition relations. We
present a powerful refinement proof rule that decomposes refinement checking over
structured programs into modular verification conditions. Refinement checking
is supported by a new form of modular, parameterized invariants, called yield
invariants, and a linear permission system to enhance local reasoning.\r\n\r\nIn
a second line of work, we present two new reduction-based program transformations
that target asynchronous programs. These transformations reduce the number of
interleavings that need to be considered, thus reducing the complexity of invariants.
Synchronization simplifies the verification of asynchronous programs by introducing
the fiction, for proof purposes, that asynchronous operations complete synchronously.
Synchronization summarizes an asynchronous computation as immediate atomic effect.
Inductive sequentialization establishes sequential reductions that captures every
behavior of the original program up to reordering of coarse-grained commutative
actions. A sequential reduction of a concurrent program is easy to reason about
since it corresponds to a simple execution of the program in an idealized synchronous
environment, where processes act in a fixed order and at the same speed.\r\n\r\nOur
approach is implemented the CIVL verifier, which has been successfully used for
the verification of several complex concurrent programs. In our methodology, the
overall correctness of a program is established piecemeal by focusing on the invariant
required for each refinement step separately. While the programmer does the creative
work of specifying the chain of programs and the inductive invariant justifying
each link in the chain, the tool automatically constructs the verification conditions
underlying each refinement step."

text: We propose a novel hybridization method for stability analysis that over-approximates
nonlinear dynamical systems by switched systems with linear inclusion dynamics.
We observe that existing hybridization techniques for safety analysis that over-approximate
nonlinear dynamical systems by switched affine inclusion dynamics and provide
fixed approximation error, do not suffice for stability analysis. Hence, we propose
a hybridization method that provides a state-dependent error which converges to
zero as the state tends to the equilibrium point. The crux of our hybridization
computation is an elegant recursive algorithm that uses partial derivatives of
a given function to obtain upper and lower bound matrices for the over-approximating
linear inclusion. We illustrate our method on some examples to demonstrate the
application of the theory for stability analysis. In particular, our method is
able to establish stability of a nonlinear system which does not admit a polynomial
Lyapunov function.

text: This paper presents a novel abstraction technique for analyzing Lyapunov and
asymptotic stability of polyhedral switched systems. A polyhedral switched system
is a hybrid system in which the continuous dynamics is specified by polyhedral
differential inclusions, the invariants and guards are specified by polyhedral
sets and the switching between the modes do not involve reset of variables. A
finite state weighted graph abstracting the polyhedral switched system is constructed
from a finite partition of the state–space, such that the satisfaction of certain
graph conditions, such as the absence of cycles with product of weights on the
edges greater than (or equal) to 1, implies the stability of the system. However,
the graph is in general conservative and hence, the violation of the graph conditions
does not imply instability. If the analysis fails to establish stability due to
the conservativeness in the approximation, a counterexample (cycle with product
of edge weights greater than or equal to 1) indicating a potential reason for
the failure is returned. Further, a more precise approximation of the switched
system can be constructed by considering a finer partition of the state–space
in the construction of the finite weighted graph. We present experimental results
on analyzing stability of switched systems using the above method.

text: 'This report presents the results of a friendly competition for formal verification
of continuous and hybrid systems with piecewise constant dynamics. The friendly
competition took place as part of the workshop Applied Verification for Continuous
and Hybrid Systems (ARCH) in 2019. In this third edition, six tools have been
applied to solve five different benchmark problems in the category for piecewise
constant dynamics: BACH, Lyse, Hy- COMP, PHAVer/SX, PHAVerLite, and VeriSiMPL.
Compared to last year, a new tool has participated (HyCOMP) and PHAVerLite has
replaced PHAVer-lite. The result is a snap- shot of the current landscape of tools
and the types of benchmarks they are particularly suited for. Due to the diversity
of problems, we are not ranking tools, yet the presented results probably provide
the most complete assessment of tools for the safety verification of continuous
and hybrid systems with piecewise constant dynamics up to this date.'

text: In this paper, we address the problem of synthesizing periodic switching controllers
for stabilizing a family of linear systems. Our broad approach consists of constructing
a finite game graph based on the family of linear systems such that every winning
strategy on the game graph corresponds to a stabilizing switching controller for
the family of linear systems. The construction of a (finite) game graph, the synthesis
of a winning strategy and the extraction of a stabilizing controller are all computationally
feasible. We illustrate our method on an example.

text: "In two-player games on graphs, the players move a token through a graph to
produce an infinite path, which determines the qualitative winner or quantitative
payoff of the game. In bidding games, in each turn, we hold an auction between
the two players to determine which player moves the token. Bidding games have
largely been studied with concrete bidding mechanisms that are variants of a first-price
auction: in each turn both players simultaneously submit bids, the higher\r\nbidder
moves the token, and pays his bid to the lower bidder in Richman bidding, to the
bank in poorman bidding, and in taxman bidding, the bid is split between the other
player and the bank according to a predefined constant factor. Bidding games are
deterministic games. They have an intriguing connection with a fragment of stochastic
games called \r\n randomturn games. We study, for the first time, a combination
of bidding games with probabilistic behavior; namely, we study bidding games that
are played on Markov decision processes, where the players bid for the right to
choose the next action, which determines the probability distribution according
to which the next vertex is chosen. We study parity and meanpayoff bidding games
on MDPs and extend results from the deterministic bidding setting to the probabilistic
one."

text: In this paper, we design novel liquid time-constant recurrent neural networks
for robotic control, inspired by the brain of the nematode, C. elegans. In the
worm's nervous system, neurons communicate through nonlinear time-varying synaptic
links established amongst them by their particular wiring structure. This property
enables neurons to express liquid time-constants dynamics and therefore allows
the network to originate complex behaviors with a small number of neurons. We
identify neuron-pair communication motifs as design operators and use them to
configure compact neuronal network structures to govern sequential robotic tasks.
The networks are systematically designed to map the environmental observations
to motor actions, by their hierarchical topology from sensory neurons, through
recurrently-wired interneurons, to motor neurons. The networks are then parametrized
in a supervised-learning scheme by a search-based algorithm. We demonstrate that
obtained networks realize interpretable dynamics. We evaluate their performance
in controlling mobile and arm robots, and compare their attributes to other artificial
neural network-based control agents. Finally, we experimentally show their superior
resilience to environmental noise, compared to the existing machine learning-based
methods.

text: 'In two-player games on graphs, the players move a token through a graph to
produce an infinite path, which determines the winner of the game. Such games
are central in formal methods since they model the interaction between a non-terminating
system and its environment. In bidding games the players bid for the right to
move the token: in each round, the players simultaneously submit bids, and the
higher bidder moves the token and pays the other player. Bidding games are known
to have a clean and elegant mathematical structure that relies on the ability
of the players to submit arbitrarily small bids. Many applications, however, require
a fixed granularity for the bids, which can represent, for example, the monetary
value expressed in cents. We study, for the first time, the combination of discrete-bidding
and infinite-duration games. Our most important result proves that these games
form a large determined subclass of concurrent games, where determinacy is the
strong property that there always exists exactly one player who can guarantee
winning the game. In particular, we show that, in contrast to non-discrete bidding
games, the mechanism with which tied bids are resolved plays an important role
in discrete-bidding games. We study several natural tie-breaking mechanisms and
show that, while some do not admit determinacy, most natural mechanisms imply
determinacy for every pair of initial budgets. '

text: 'A vector addition system with states (VASS) consists of a finite set of states
and counters. A configuration is a state and a value for each counter; a transition
changes the state and each counter is incremented, decremented, or left unchanged.
While qualitative properties such as state and configuration reachability have
been studied for VASS, we consider the long-run average cost of infinite computations
of VASS. The cost of a configuration is for each state, a linear combination of
the counter values. In the special case of uniform cost functions, the linear
combination is the same for all states. The (regular) long-run emptiness problem
is, given a VASS, a cost function, and a threshold value, if there is a (lasso-shaped)
computation such that the long-run average value of the cost function does not
exceed the threshold. For uniform cost functions, we show that the regular long-run
emptiness problem is (a) decidable in polynomial time for integer-valued VASS,
and (b) decidable but nonelementarily hard for natural-valued VASS (i.e., nonnegative
counters). For general cost functions, we show that the problem is (c) NP-complete
for integer-valued VASS, and (d) undecidable for natural-valued VASS. Our most
interesting result is for (c) integer-valued VASS with general cost functions,
where we establish a connection between the regular long-run emptiness problem
and quadratic Diophantine inequalities. The general (nonregular) long-run emptiness
problem is equally hard as the regular problem in all cases except (c), where
it remains open. '

text: In this paper, we introduce a novel method to interpret recurrent neural networks
(RNNs), particularly long short-term memory networks (LSTMs) at the cellular level.
We propose a systematic pipeline for interpreting individual hidden state dynamics
within the network using response characterization methods. The ranked contribution
of individual cells to the network's output is computed by analyzing a set of
interpretable metrics of their decoupled step and sinusoidal responses. As a result,
our method is able to uniquely identify neurons with insightful dynamics, quantify
relationships between dynamical properties and test accuracy through ablation
analysis, and interpret the impact of network capacity on a network's dynamical
distribution. Finally, we demonstrate the generalizability and scalability of
our method by evaluating a series of different benchmark sequential datasets.

text: We illustrate the ingredients of the state-of-the-art of model-based approach
for the formal design and verification of cyber-physical systems. To capture the
interaction between a discrete controller and its continuously evolving environment,
we use the formal models of timed and hybrid automata. We explain the steps of
modeling and verification in the tools Uppaal and SpaceEx using a case study based
on a dual-chamber implantable pacemaker monitoring a human heart. We show how
to design a model as a composition of components, how to construct models at varying
levels of detail, how to establish that one model is an abstraction of another,
how to specify correctness requirements using temporal logic, and how to verify
that a model satisfies a logical requirement.

text: We present the results of a friendly competition for formal verification of
continuous and hybrid systems with nonlinear continuous dynamics. The friendly
competition took place as part of the workshop Applied Verification for Continuous
and Hybrid Systems (ARCH) in 2019. In this year, 6 tools Ariadne, CORA, DynIbex,
Flow*, Isabelle/HOL, and JuliaReach (in alphabetic order) participated. They are
applied to solve reachability analysis problems on four benchmark problems, one
of them with hybrid dynamics. We do not rank the tools based on the results, but
show the current status and discover the potential advantages of different tools.

text: 'This report presents the results of a friendly competition for formal verification
of continuous and hybrid systems with linear continuous dynamics. The friendly
competition took place as part of the workshop Applied Verification for Continuous
and Hybrid Systems (ARCH) in 2019. In its third edition, seven tools have been
applied to solve six different benchmark problems in the category for linear continuous
dynamics (in alphabetical order): CORA, CORA/SX, HyDRA, Hylaa, JuliaReach, SpaceEx,
and XSpeed. This report is a snapshot of the current landscape of tools and the
types of benchmarks they are particularly suited for. Due to the diversity of
problems, we are not ranking tools, yet the presented results provide one of the
most complete assessments of tools for the safety verification of continuous and
hybrid systems with linear continuous dynamics up to this date.'

text: 'In two-player games on graphs, the players move a token through a graph to
produce a finite or infinite path, which determines the qualitative winner or
quantitative payoff of the game. We study bidding games in which the players bid
for the right to move the token. Several bidding rules were studied previously.
In Richman bidding, in each round, the players simultaneously submit bids, and
the higher bidder moves the token and pays the other player. Poorman bidding is
similar except that the winner of the bidding pays the "bank" rather than the
other player. Taxman bidding spans the spectrum between Richman and poorman bidding.
They are parameterized by a constant tau in [0,1]: portion tau of the winning
bid is paid to the other player, and portion 1-tau to the bank. While finite-duration
(reachability) taxman games have been studied before, we present, for the first
time, results on infinite-duration taxman games. It was previously shown that
both Richman and poorman infinite-duration games with qualitative objectives reduce
to reachability games, and we show a similar result here. Our most interesting
results concern quantitative taxman games, namely mean-payoff games, where poorman
and Richman bidding differ significantly. A central quantity in these games is
the ratio between the two players'' initial budgets. While in poorman mean-payoff
games, the optimal payoff of a player depends on the initial ratio, in Richman
bidding, the payoff depends only on the structure of the game. In both games the
optimal payoffs can be found using (different) probabilistic connections with
random-turn games in which in each turn, instead of bidding, a coin is tossed
to determine which player moves. While the value with Richman bidding equals the
value of a random-turn game with an un-biased coin, with poorman bidding, the
bias in the coin is the initial ratio of the budgets. We give a complete classification
of mean-payoff taxman games that is based on a probabilistic connection: the value
of a taxman bidding game with parameter tau and initial ratio r, equals the value
of a random-turn game that uses a coin with bias F(tau, r) = (r+tau * (1-r))/(1+tau).
Thus, we show that Richman bidding is the exception; namely, for every tau <1,
the value of the game depends on the initial ratio. Our proof technique simplifies
and unifies the previous proof techniques for both Richman and poorman bidding. '
