  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: 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 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,
    called the structural FORQ, induced by the Büchi automaton to the right of the
    inclusion sign. The resulting implementation, called FORKLIFT, scales up better
    than the state-of-the-art on a variety of benchmarks including benchmarks from
    program verification and theorem proving for word combinatorics. Artifact: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6552870'

  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: "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: "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: 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: 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: '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: "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: "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: 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: '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: "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: "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."

  We would like to thank the authors of (Roman & Szykula, 2015) for providing their
  heuristics implementations, which we used to compare our SynchroP implementation
  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: 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.
