Verifying a vision-based neural feedback system requires a model of the observations its controller acts upon. Such a model must capture the variation the sensor produces, while remaining tractable for closed-loop analysis. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have served as perception surrogates, but they are large, reproduce complex scenes poorly, and are hard to verify. We explore stochastic world models as a richer class of perception surrogates. We train a world model with physically grounded latents, built from operations that standard verifiers bound. It reproduces held-out frames more faithfully than GAN surrogates with up to 130 times as many parameters. To verify these surrogates, we develop a procedure that combines falsification, adaptive refinement, symbolic, and backward analyses. On an emergency braking benchmark with a GAN surrogate, our procedure resolves the entire state space, 38% of which the state-of-the-art verifier left unresolved. On the RGB version of the benchmark, where no verification results have previously been reported, our procedure resolves over 80% of the state space with a world model surrogate.

An algorithm is proposed which leverages disentangled semantic factors to generate adversarial perturbation by altering controlled semantic attributes to fool the learner towards various "adversarial" targets.

This work proposes a HALO that directly maximizes the utility of generations instead of maximizing the log-likelihood of preferences, and suggests that the best loss depends on the inductive biases most appropriate for a given setting, an oft-overlooked consideration.
This work investigates the possibilities of using LLMs in a resume screening setting via a document retrieval framework that simulates job candidate selection and finds that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases.
This work shows that orders of magnitude enhancement in performance could be obtained by a combination of hardware improvements and tight quantum-HPC integration and introduces high-performance architectures for quantum-probabilistic computing with custom-designed accelerators to tackle today's industry-scale classical...
