FullCert: deterministic end-to-end certification for training and inference of neural networks by Lorenz, T, Kwiatkowska, M, Fritz, M

“…Finally, we bound the impact of these parameter changes on the model’s prediction, resulting in joint robustness guarantees against poisoning and adversarial examples. To facilitate this novel certification paradigm, we combine our theoretical work with a new open-source library BoundFlow, which enables model training on bounded datasets.We experimentally demonstrate FullCert’s feasibility on two datasets.…”
