Section Info:
Emerging ML models (like deep neural networks) tend to be complex, fragile, non-robust, and uninterpretable. This makes it extremely challenging to build reliable real-world systems that incorporate ML components. We need trustworthy ML as well as robust system design to achieve end-to-end correctness of systems. In this course, we will study recent developments at the intersection of formal methods (FM), programming languages (PL) and machine learning (ML) research towards the development of trustworthy AI-based systems. Some topics planned covered for the course are: 1. Formal Verification of ML models using abstraction and constraint solvers 2. Symbolic explanations of deep neural networks 3. Training ML models with Logic and Knowledge 4. Learning symbolic concepts (code, program synthesis, invariants) 5. Proving correctness of systems with ML components 6. Neurosymbolic machine learning For up-to-date information about CS course restrictions, please see the following link: http://go.cs.illinois.edu/csregister
