The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,174,741 Project Grant to Rector & Visitors Of The University Of Virginia, doing business as the University of Virginia, to conduct research under the NSF Division of Computing and Communication Foundations program (CFDA 47.070). The project, titled "SHF: MEDIUM: MORE RELIABLE IMAGE NETWORKS THROUGH SCENE-BASED SPECIFICATION, NEURO-SYMBOLIC TRAINING, AND SYSTEMATIC SPECIFICATION-DRIVEN TESTING", seeks to develop techniques to assure the quality and reliability of image-based deep neural networks (DNNs) used in safety-critical autonomous systems. The research will focus on specifying high-level correctness properties for DNNs, incorporating those specifications into the DNN training process, and improving training, test, and validation datasets to ensure adequate coverage of rare but important inputs. If successful, this research could provide a foundation for building more reliable DNN-enabled systems in areas such as autonomous vehicles and medical devices.
