Relational Verification Leaps Forward with RABBit

We propose RABBit, a Branch-and-Bound-based verifier for verifying relational properties defined over Deep Neural Networks, such as robustness against universal adversarial perturbations (UAP). Existing SOTA complete L_∞-robustness verifiers can not reason about dependencies between multiple executions and, as a result, are imprecise for relational verification. In contrast, existing SOTA relational verifiers only apply a single bounding step and do not utilize any branching strategies to refine the obtained bounds, thus producing imprecise results. We develop the first scalable Branch-and-Bound-based relational verifier, RABBit, which efficiently combines branching over multiple executions with cross-executional bound refinement to utilize relational constraints, gaining substantial precision over SOTA baselines on a wide range of datasets and networks.
