- 适合需要形式化安全验证的自动驾驶、医疗等高风险场景。
确保人工智能系统在自动驾驶、医疗等高风险领域的安全性日益重要。传统形式化验证工具难以应对包含黑箱AI组件与复杂随机动态的系统。为此,本文提出LUCID(Learning-enabled Uncertainty-aware Certification of Stochastic Dynamical Systems),一个针对有限状态转移数据的黑箱随机动力系统安全认证引擎。LUCID是首个能为这类系统建立量化安全保证的工具。其核心方法基于控制屏障证书,直接从系统转移数据中学习,并利用条件均值嵌入将数据映射到再生核希尔伯特空间(RKHS),构建可扩展的不确定性集以增强对分布外行为的鲁棒性。关键创新在于采用有限傅里叶核展开,将半无限非凸优化问题转化为可解线性规划,通过快速傅里叶变换高效生成松弛问题,实现高效且分布鲁棒的安全验证。该框架在多个挑战性基准上得到验证。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Ensuring the safety of AI-enabled systems, particularly in high-stakes domains such as autonomous driving and healthcare, has become increasingly critical. Traditional formal verification tools fall short when faced with systems that embed both opaque, black-box AI components and complex stochastic dynamics. To address these challenges, we introduce LUCID (Learning-enabled Uncertainty-aware Certification of stochastIc Dynamical systems), a verification engine for certifying safety of black-box stochastic dynamical systems from a finite dataset of random state transitions. As such, LUCID is the first known tool capable of establishing quantified safety guarantees for such systems. Thanks to its modular architecture and extensive documentation, LUCID is designed for easy extensibility. LUCID employs a data-driven methodology rooted in control barrier certificates, which are learned directly from system transition data, to ensure formal safety guarantees. We use conditional mean embeddings to embed data into a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS), where an RKHS ambiguity set is constructed that can be inflated to robustify the result to out-of-distribution behavior. A key innovation within LUCID is its use of a finite Fourier kernel expansion to reformulate a semi-infinite non-convex optimization problem into a tractable linear program. The resulting spectral barrier allows us to leverage the fast Fourier transform to generate the relaxed problem efficiently, offering a scalable yet distributionally robust framework for verifying safety. LUCID thus offers a robust and efficient verification framework, able to handle the complexities of modern black-box systems while providing formal guarantees of safety. These unique capabilities are demonstrated on challenging benchmarks.
