DeepSplit: Scalable Verification of Deep Neural Networks via Operator Splitting

원문 초록

Analyzing the worst-case performance of deep neural networks against input perturbations amounts to solving a large-scale non-convex optimization problem, for which several past works have proposed convex relaxations as a promising alternative. However, even for reasonably-sized neural networks, these relaxations are not tractable, and so must be replaced by even weaker relaxations in practice. In this work, we propose a novel operator splitting method that can directly solve a convex relaxation of the problem to high accuracy, by splitting it into smaller sub-problems that often have analytical solutions. The method is modular, scales to very large problem instances, and compromises operations that are amenable to fast parallelization with GPU acceleration. We demonstrate our method in bounding the worst-case performance of large convolutional networks in image classification and reinforcement learning settings, and in reachability analysis of neural network dynamical systems.
