Query: Global Optimization of Objective Functions Represented by ReLU Networks   Neural networks can learn complex, non-convex functions, and it is
challenging to guarantee their correct behavior in safety-critical contexts.
Many approaches exist to find failures in networks (e.g., adversarial
examples), but these cannot guarantee the absence of failures. Verification
algorithms address this need and provide formal guarantees about a neural
network by answering "yes or no" questions. For example, they can answer
whether a violation exists within certain bounds. However, individual "yes or
no" questions cannot answer qualitative questions such as "what is the largest
error within these bounds"; the answers to these lie in the domain of
optimization. Therefore, we propose strategies to extend existing verifiers to
perform optimization and find: (i) the most extreme failure in a given input
region and (ii) the minimum input perturbation required to cause a failure. A
naive approach using a bisection search with an off-the-shelf verifier results
in many expensive and overlapping calls to the verifier. Instead, we propose an
approach that tightly integrates the optimization process into the verification
procedure, achieving better runtime performance than the naive approach. We
evaluate our approach implemented as an extension of Marabou, a
state-of-the-art neural network verifier, and compare its performance with the
bisection approach and MIPVerify, an optimization-based verifier. We observe
complementary performance between our extension of Marabou and MIPVerify.
