Universal Safety Controllers with Learned Prophecies

AAAI 2026technical

Universal Safety Controllers (USCs) are a promising logical control framework that guarantees the satisfaction of a given temporal safety specification when applied to any realizable plant model. Unlike traditional methods, which synthesize one logical controller over a given detailed plant model, U

Learning Better Representations From Less Data For Propositional Satisfiability

NeurIPS 2024spotlight

Training neural networks on NP-complete problems typically demands very large amounts of training data and often needs to be coupled with computationally expensive symbolic verifiers to ensure output correctness. In this paper, we present NeuRes, a neuro-symbolic approach to address both challenges…

Iterative Circuit Repair Against Formal Specifications

ICLR 2023poster

We present a deep learning approach for repairing sequential circuits against formal specifications given in linear-time temporal logic (LTL). Given a defective circuit and its formal specification, we train Transformer models to output circuits that satisfy the corresponding specification. We propo…

Neural Circuit Synthesis from Specification Patterns

NeurIPS 2021poster

We train hierarchical Transformers on the task of synthesizing hardware circuits directly out of high-level logical specifications in linear-time temporal logic (LTL). The LTL synthesis problem is a well-known algorithmic challenge with a long history and an annual competition is organized to track t…

Teaching Temporal Logics to Neural Networks

ICLR 2021poster

We study two fundamental questions in neuro-symbolic computing: can deep learning tackle challenging problems in logics end-to-end, and can neural networks learn the semantics of logics. In this work we focus on linear-time temporal logic (LTL), as it is widely used in verification. We train a Trans…
