Customizable Reference Runtime Monitoring of Neural Networks using Resolution Boxes
share
We present an approach for monitoring classification systems via data abstraction. Data abstraction relies on the notion of box with a resolution. Box-based abstraction consists in representing a set of values by its minimal and maximal values in each dimension. We augment boxes with a notion of resolution and define their clustering coverage, which is intuitively a quantitative metric that indicates the abstraction quality. This allows studying the effect of different clustering parameters on the constructed boxes and estimating an interval of sub-optimal parameters. Moreover, we automatically construct monitors that leverage both the correct and incorrect behaviors of a system. This allows checking the size of the monitor abstractions and analyzing the separability of the network. Monitors are obtained by combining the sub-monitors of each class of the system placed at some selected layers. Our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our clustering coverage estimation and show how to assess the effectiveness and precision of monitors according to the selected clustering parameter and monitored layers.
