Leveraging Satisfiability Modulo Theory Solvers for Verification of Neural Networks in Predictive Maintenance Applications.

Interest in machine learning and neural networks has increased significantly in recent years. However, their applications are limited in safety-critical domains due to the lack of formal guarantees on their reliability and behavior. This paper shows recent advances in satisfiability modulo theory solvers used in the context of the verification of neural networks with piece-wise linear and transcendental activation functions. An experimental analysis is conducted using neural networks trained on a real-world predictive maintenance dataset. This study contributes to the research on enhancing the safety and reliability of neural networks through formal verification, enabling their deployment in safety-critical domains.
