However, the neural networks (NNs) commonly used in modern learning approaches present substantial challenges for analyzing the resulting control systems' safety properties. Fortunately, a new body of literature could provide tractable methods for analysis and verification of these high dimensional, highly nonlinear representations. This tutorial first introduces and unifies recent techniques (many of which originated in the computer vision and machine learning communities) for verifying robustness properties of NNs. The techniques are then extended to provide formal guarantees of neural feedback loops (e.g., closed-loop system with NN control policy). The provided tools are shown to enable closed-loop reachability analysis and robust deep reinforcement learning.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.01388v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.01388v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"neural-network-verification-in-control","repo_url":"https://github.com/mit-acl/nn_robustness_analysis","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"MIT"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"deep-reinforcement-learning","task_name":"Deep Reinforcement Learning"},{"task_slug":"reinforcement-learning-1","task_name":"Reinforcement Learning (RL)"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2110.01388","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
