Advances in Probabilistic Verification and Control

The field of probabilistic verification and control is moving towards the development of more robust and scalable methods for ensuring the safety and reliability of complex systems. Recent research has focused on combining probabilistic models with formal verification techniques to provide rigorous guarantees on system behavior. This has led to the development of new frameworks and tools for verifying probabilistic programs, as well as novel approaches to control synthesis and optimization. Notably, researchers are exploring the use of neural networks and machine learning techniques to improve the efficiency and accuracy of probabilistic verification and control.

Some noteworthy papers in this area include: Monotone Neural Control Barrier Certificates, which presents a neurosymbolic framework for synthesizing and verifying safety controllers in high-dimensional dynamical systems. Towards Unified Probabilistic Verification and Validation of Vision-Based Autonomy, which proposes a methodology for unifying the verification models of perception with their offline validation. A Dynamical Systems Framework for Reinforcement Learning Safety and Robustness Verification, which introduces a novel framework for analyzing the safety and robustness of learned policies in reinforcement learning.
