A Formally Verified Robustness Certifier for Neural Networks (Extended Version)

2025-05-11 · James Tobler, Hira Taqdees Syeda, Toby Murray

Neural networks are often susceptible to minor perturbations in input that cause them to misclassify. A recent solution to this problem is the use of globally-robust neural networks, which employ a function to certify that the classification of an input cannot be altered by such a perturbation. Outputs that pass this test are called certified robust. However, to the authors' knowledge, these certification functions have not yet been verified at the implementation level. We demonstrate how previous unverified implementations are exploitably unsound in certain circumstances. Moreover, they often rely on approximation-based algorithms, such as power iteration, that (perhaps surprisingly) do not guarantee soundness. To provide assurance that a given output is robust, we implemented and formally verified a certification function for globally-robust neural networks in Dafny. We describe the program, its specifications, and the important design decisions taken for its implementation and verification, as well as our experience applying it in practice.

Lipschitz-Based Robustness Certification Under Floating-Point Execution

2026-03-06 · Toby Murray arxiv

Lipschitz-based robustness certification bounds a network's sensitivity through concrete numerical computation rather than symbolic reasoning, and so scales efficiently. It is increasingly used even where verifiable guar…

OccRob: Efficient SMT-Based Occlusion Robustness Verification of Deep Neural Networks

2023-01-27 · Xingwu Guo, Ziwei Zhou, Yueling Zhang, Guy Katz 외

Occlusion is a prevalent and easily realizable semantic perturbation to deep neural networks (DNNs). It can fool a DNN into misclassifying an input image by occluding some segments, possibly resulting in severe errors. T…

Fundamental Limits in Formal Verification of Message-Passing Neural Networks
