Data-aware Static Analysis: Improving Detection of Semantic Faults in Machine Learning Code Using Data Characteristics

arXiv:2606.09957v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Semantic faults specific to the use of machine learning models are a common problem for machine learning developers, causing suboptimal predictions, high computational cost, or incorrect outputs. For example, one may erroneously use unscaled data to train a scale-sensitive model. Machine learning developers detect these faults after training their models and manually analyzing the results, making it an inefficient process. We propose a novel data-aware static analysis approach to detect semantic faults in machine learning code, allowing develop
As AI models become more complex and integrated into critical systems, efficient and automated fault detection becomes essential to ensure reliability and adoption.
Improving the detection of semantic faults in machine learning code reduces development time, enhances model reliability, and lowers computational costs, directly impacting the efficiency and trustworthiness of AI systems.
Traditional manual debugging processes for ML models can now be augmented or replaced by data-aware static analysis, leading to more robust and faster ML development cycles.
