Verisig: verifying safety properties of hybrid systems with neural network controllers
2018 · arXiv (Cornell University)
This paper presents Verisig, a hybrid system approach to verifying safety properties of closed-loop systems using neural networks as controllers. Although techniques exist for verifying input/output properties of the neural network itself, these methods cannot …

Minimum Number of Probes for Brain Dynamics Observability
2015 · arXiv (Cornell University)
In this paper, we address the problem of placing sensor probes in the brain such that the system dynamics' are generically observable. The system dynamics whose states can encode for instance the fire-rating of the …

Actor-only Deterministic Policy Gradient via Zeroth-order Gradient Oracles in Action Space
2021
Deterministic policies demonstrate substantial empirical success over their stochastic counterparts as they remove a level of randomness in Policy Gradient (PG) methods when applied to stochastic search problems involving Markov decision processes. However, current implementations …

Conformal Prediction Regions for Time Series using Linear Complementarity Programming
2023 · arXiv (Cornell University)
Conformal prediction is a statistical tool for producing prediction regions of machine learning models that are valid with high probability. However, applying conformal prediction to time series data leads to conservative prediction regions. In fact, …

Conformal Prediction Beyond the Seen: A Missing Mass Perspective for Uncertainty Quantification in Generative Models
2025
Uncertainty quantification (UQ) is essential for safe deployment of generative AI models such as large language models (LLMs), especially in high stakes applications. Conformal prediction (CP) offers a principled uncertainty quantification framework, but classical methods …
