Propose, Solve, Verify: Self-Play Through Formal Verification

ICML 2026poster

Training models through self-play alone (without any human data) has been a longstanding goal in AI, but its effectiveness for training large language models remains unclear, particularly in code generation where rewards based on unit tests are brittle and prone to error propagation. We study self-p…

AlphaVerus: Bootstrapping Formally Verified Code Generation through Self-Improving Translation and Treefinement

ICML 2025poster

Automated code generation with large language models has gained significant traction, but there remains no guarantee of the correctness of generated code. We aim to use formal verification to provide mathematical guarantees that the generated code is correct. However, generating formally verified co…

Fast Geometric Projections for Local Robustness Certification

ICLR 2021spotlight

Local robustness ensures that a model classifies all inputs within an $\ell_p$-ball consistently, which precludes various forms of adversarial inputs. In this paper, we present a fast procedure for checking local robustness in feed-forward neural networks with piecewise-linear activation functions.…
