  1. NNV3: Expanding Neural Network Verification to New Architectures and Domains

    Source note ·

    The preprint presents NNV3, a MATLAB framework for formal verification of neural networks. It describes ModelStar for weight perturbation, VolumeStar for video and 3D inputs, GraphStar for graph neural networks…

  2. Bulkhead: Automated Semantic Detection and Remediation of Container Escape Vulnerabilities

    Source note ·

    Researchers present Bulkhead, an automated framework that uses large language models and formal methods to detect and fix container escape vulnerabilities called path traversal (PaTra) vulnerabilities. These…

  3. Evidence-Grounded Verified Agentic Reasoning: A Path Toward Eliminating LLM Hallucination in Empirical Inference via Tool-Attested Kernel Proofs

    Source note ·

    The paper introduces EG-VAR, a tool-calling architecture that aims to make the reasoning of a large language model (LLM) more trustworthy by verifying all outputs through tool-attestation axioms and kernel checks. The…
