Lookahead Branching for 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.

TreeThink: A Modular Tree Search Library for Mathematical Reasoning with LLMs

TreeThink is an open‑source Python library that provides modular, fully asynchronous tree search for neural theorem proving. It integrates established tree‑search methods with vLLM inference pipelines and supports a range of node evaluation techniques, from lightweight heuristics to neural evaluators. The library connects directly to the REPL servers of Lean 4, Rocq, and Isabelle/HOL, enabling real‑time verification and proof‑state extraction, and it has been evaluated on miniF2F and MATH500, achieving up to an 8.0× wall‑clock speedup from asynchronous execution.

Certified but Private: Scalable Zero-Knowledge Proofs for Neural Network Guarantees

PANDA is a scalable system that uses zero‑knowledge proofs to certify the robustness and fairness of neural networks without revealing their private parameters. Built on the CROWN robustness framework, PANDA introduces a novel algorithm for proving linear relaxation bounds on non‑linear activation layers, producing lightweight proofs. The system can generate proofs for networks with over 2.9 million parameters in just five minutes and verify them in ten seconds, scaling polynomially with network size and enabling verification of models four orders of magnitude larger than prior ZKP‑based approaches.
