Lookahead Branching for Neural Network Verification
arXiv:2607. 17290v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this work, we investigate the effect of lookahead branching strategies in neural network verification.
In this work, we investigate the effect of lookahead branching strategies in neural network verification. We present a general recipe to integrate lookahead into any branch-and-bound verifier and demonstrate how one of the current state-of-the-art branching heuristics, FSB, can be viewed as a special instantiation of the lookahead branching strategy.

arXiv:2606. 09377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Formal neural network verification -- proving that a network satisfies safety properties for \emph{all} inputs in a specified domain -- is bounded in practice by GPU memory: standard implementations of bound-propagation algorithms (IBP, CROWN, $\alpha$-CROWN) require weight and relaxation-coefficient matrices to reside entirely on one accelerator.
Formal neural network verification -- proving that a network satisfies safety properties for \emph{all} inputs in a specified domain -- is bounded in practice by GPU memory: standard implementations of bound-propagation algorithms (IBP, CROWN, $α$-CROWN) require weight and relaxation-coefficient matrices to reside entirely on one accelerator. We adapt two parallelism techniques originally developed for large-scale model training to the \texttt{auto\_LiRPA}\,/\,$α,β$-CROWN verification framework.

arXiv:2607. 22602v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inference-time scaling has emerged as a powerful paradigm for improving large language model reasoning, often delivering larger gains on difficult reasoning tasks than parameter scaling alone.
