Synthesizing Boxes Preconditions for Deep Neural Networks
Deep neural network (DNN) has been increasingly deployed as a key component in safety-critical systems. However, the credibility of DNN components is uncertain due to the absence of formal specifications for their data preconditions, which are essential for ensuring trustworthy postconditions.In this paper, we propose a guess-and-check-based framework {\em PreBoxes} to automatically synthesize Boxes sufficient preconditions for DNN concerning rich safety and robustness postconditions.The framework operates in two phases: the {\em guess} phase generates potentially complex candidate preconditions through heuristic methods, while the {\em check} phase verifies these candidates with formal guarantees.The entire framework supports automatic and adaptive iterative running to obtain weaker preconditions as well.Such resulting preconditions can be leveraged to shield DNN for safety and enhance the interpretability of DNN in application.{\em PreBoxes} has been evaluated on over 20 models with 23 trustworthy properties of 4 benchmarks and compared with 3 existing typical schemes.The results show that not only does {\em PreBoxes} generally infer weaker non-trivial sufficient preconditions for DNN than others, but also it expands competitive capabilities to handle both {\em complex properties} and {\em Non-ReLU complex structured networks}.
