This three-year, $500,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computing and Communication Foundations, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), will support research to advance neural network verification techniques. The grantee, Stanford University, will partner with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to pursue three goals: developing more scalable verification methods using abstraction and compositional reasoning; improving scalability through hand-crafted and data-driven schemes for compositional verification of neural networks; and standardizing the field to make verification technology and tools accessible to non-experts. Achieving these goals is expected to significantly enhance the quality and scalability of verification techniques, enabling broader use of neural networks including in safety-critical systems. The research has potential benefits for education, multiple research communities, and society through allowing safer deployment of neural networks in real-world applications.
