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: 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: "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: '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: '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: 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: 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 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.
acknowledgement: The formal framework for quantitative monitoring which is presented
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: "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: 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: 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: '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: 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."
