DISCO Verification: Division of Input Space into COnvex polytopes for neural network verification
Résumé
The impressive results of modern neural networks partly come from their non linear behaviour. Unfortunately, this property makes it very difficult to apply formal verification tools, even if we restrict ourselves to networks with a piecewise linear structure. However, such networks yields subregions that are linear and thus simpler to analyse independently. In this paper, we propose a method to simplify the verification problem by operating a partitionning into multiple linear subproblems. To evaluate the feasibility of such an approach, we perform an empirical analysis of neural networks to estimate the number of linear regions, and compare them to the bounds currently known. We also present the impact of a technique aiming at reducing the number of linear regions during training.
