arXiv:2606.20292v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The use of neural networks (NNs) is rapidly increasing, including in safety- and security-critical domains. To provide formal guarantees about NN behavior, many verification methods rely on optimizable linear relaxations of activation functions. However, existing techniques depend on hand-crafted relaxations for each activation function. Extension to state-of-the-art activation functions therefore requires substantial manual effort. In contrast, our approach SLiR (Shifting-based Linear Relaxations) is broadly applicable, requiring only a Lipschit
The increasing deployment of neural networks in critical safety and security domains necessitates robust verification methods, prompting immediate research into more generalizable solutions for formal guarantees.
This development addresses a fundamental limitation in AI verification by providing a broadly applicable method for linear relaxations, crucial for ensuring the reliability and trustworthiness of advanced AI systems.
The reliance on hand-crafted, labor-intensive relaxations for specific activation functions is reduced, enabling faster and more consistent verification of new and complex neural networks.
