Safe machine learning-based perception via closed-loop analysis
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- While machine learning enables new capabilities for the automation of safety-critical systems such as aircraft and cars, its introduction to these systems will require a significant validation effort. Machine learning presents new challenges in safe design and validation due to its complex nature. For this reason, the initial use of machine learning in these systems is likely to be limited to tasks that cannot be performed solely by traditional automation techniques. This thesis focuses on perceptual tasks that require processing high-dimensional image data from cameras to replace visual tasks typically performed by human operators. Specifically, we outline methods that rely on closed-loop analysis to encourage safety in machine learning-based perception systems. Our first two contributions relate to the safe design of neural network-based perception systems. Once designed, these systems should be put through a thorough verification process. The final two contributions of this thesis develop methods for the formal verification of these systems.
