  • Causal NN controller repair presented at ICAA’23

    Causal NN controller repair presented at ICAA’23

    Shown above is a 5-step workflow of our causal repair: (1) Extract the behaviors of a learning component as an I/O table. (2) Encode the dependency of the desired property outcome on the I/O behaviors with a Halpern-Pearl model. (3) Search for a counterfactual model value assignment, revealing an actual cause and a repair. (4)…

    Conservative safety monitoring presented at NFM’23

    Shown above is our conservative monitoring approach that leverages probabilistic reachability offline and combines it with calibrated state estimation.

    DonkeyCars are racing autonomously

    Our lab is now running neural network-controlled racing cars based on raw camera images: Sometimes things don’t go as planned: Such is the brittle nature of deep learning. We’ll be working on predicting and preventing such accidents.

    TEA Lab is established

    TEA lab’s mission is to develop engineering methodologies for safe autonomous systems that are aware of their own limitations, as illustrated above. More details about this vision can be found in this slide deck.
