We are developing techniques and software to formally verify AI-based systems, building upon the PRISM toolset.

Probabilistic multi-agent systems
...

We are working on techniques and tools for verification and strategy synthesis with stochastic games, built into the PRISM-games tool. Recent advances includes methods for concurrent stochastic games and temporal logics and synthesis for equilibria.

Robust verification and control
... ...

We are building robust methods for verification and control of stochastic systems in the presence of epistemic uncertainty.

  • robust control of continuous-space dynamical systems for unknown noise [AAAI'22, JAIR-23]
  • robust anytime learning of MDPs from sampled trajectories [NeurIPS'22]

Software: PRISM

Verified planning under uncertainty
... ...

We are developing a variety techniques for verified planning under uncertainty, including for:

  • planning with mobile robots [IJRR-19]
  • uncertain user preferences [ICCPS'22]
  • distributional probabilistic model checking [NFM'24]

Software: PRISM

Verification under partial observation
... ...

We are developing techniques for verified probabilistic control unde partial observation, including for:

  • model checking POMDPs [RTS-17]
  • trust-based planning with POMDPs [ACM-TCPS'22]
  • safe POMDP online planning via shielding [ICRA'24]

Software: PRISM

Verified neuro-symbolic controllers
... ...

We are building approaches for formal modelling and verification of neuro-symbolic agents operating concurrently within a shared, continuous-state environment.
