arXiv:2606.04310v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are increasingly being deployed in security-critical and safety-sensitive applications, which makes rigorous testing essential to identify and mitigate model weaknesses. Existing DNN testing approaches explore either the input space or a learned latent space. While latent-space generation can better maintain plausibility than direct input-space mutation, current methods still face a trade-off among exploration controllability, failure diversity, and seed-relative semantic drift. To overcome these limitations, we propos
The increasing deployment of DNNs in critical applications necessitates more robust testing methodologies, pushing research in this area.
Improved testing for DNNs directly addresses a major bottleneck for their wider adoption and reliability in sensitive domains, making them safer and more trustworthy.
This advancement introduces a more controlled and effective way to generate tests for deep neural networks, reducing existing trade-offs in exploration and diversity.
