A few days ago, we dropped ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ . . . and we've gotten a little bit of pushback. But whether you're at a frontier lab or developing smaller, open-source models, this research should be on your radar. Here's why ๐งต
We spent some time thinking about how to express and verify spatial and temporal properties for distributed systems and came up with STL-GO, a spatio-temporal logic with graph operators. Check out @ZhaoYiqi87035 work if you're curious ๐
We are happy to share our recent work (appearing in EMSOFT '25) named "STL-GO: Spatio-Temporal Logic with Graph Operators for Distributed Systems with Multiple Network Topologies": arxiv.org/abs/2507.15147, focusing on distributed monitor of dynamic multigraphs across topologies.
Today is the day: our RSS workshop on "Statistical Uncertainty Quantification in the Era of AI-Enabled Robots" is starting soon ๐ If you are attending RSS, drop by and say hi. Otherwise, join us online via zoom (details can be found here sites.google.com/view/rss2025-wโฆ). See you soon!

I gave an in-depth tutorial on "Formal Verification and Control with Conformal Prediction" at KTH today ๐ Since I got positive feedback, I wanted to share the presentation, in the hope that others can also benefit from it ๐ Find the recording here: youtu.be/kfPBjaMCXmM?siโฆ
When in Atlanta ๐๐ With @YiannisKantaros, @AlexRobey23, @juancervinouy, @SanderTonkens, @natanaso, and @ZacRavichandran

Very well deserved, big congratulations @KeganStrawn. Proud of you ๐
Congratulations to all of our @CSatUSC @USCViterbi graduate award recipients! Premankur Banerjee (PhD), Kegan Strawn (PhD), Deqing Fu (PhD) and Zhaotian Weng (MS)! ๐๐ @DeqingFu @USCAdvComputing @LarsLindemann2
We have made an update on our paper "Conformal Predictive Programming" available at arxiv.org/pdf/2402.07407. The updates include more detailed comparison to existing Chance Constrained Optimization Methods and generalization to conditional guarantees, etc.
We have almost finalized the material for our three hour tutorial on "Formal Verification and Control with Conformal Prediction" for the CPS Week at UCI next week on May 6th ๐ You can still register for the event: cps-iot-week2025.ics.uci.edu/registration.pโฆ Looking forward seeing many of you ๐
We are excited to offer a tutorial on "Formal Verification and Control with Conformal Prediction" at the CPS-IoT Week at UCI Irvine, see sites.google.com/view/cps-iot25โฆ for details ๐ค Early bird rate before April 2nd: cps-iot-week2025.ics.uci.edu/registration.pโฆ. Looking forward to seeing many of you ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Excited to present our paper on a logic-based perspective of LLM jailbreaks with @Avishreekh at @ICLR_conf this Saturday, April 26! Poster #268 in Hall 3+2B at 15:00 Singapore time ๐ arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2407.00075 ๐ Blog: debugml.github.io/logicbreaks/ \begin{thread}
We did a big update of our survey "Formal Verification and Control with Conformal Prediction" (arxiv.org/pdf/2409.00536). Among other things, we now provide a detailed comparison of conformal prediction with UQ alternatives. Big thank to the reviewers for really good suggestions!
We just submitted our latest survey article on "Formal Verification and Control with Conformal Prediction: Practical Safety Guarantees for Autonomous Systems". If you are interested in safe autonomy, check out arxiv.org/pdf/2409.00536 ๐
Check out the new work of my student @ZhaoYiqi87035 on distributionally robust predictive runtime verification (aka failure prediction/detection) for multi-agent systems ๐๐๐ Joint work with TRINA and @bardhhoxha
We are excited to share our latest paper on predictive runtime verification of stochastic multiagent systems against spatio-temporal logic specifications: arxiv.org/abs/2504.02964.
Our 2025 RSS workshop on "Statistical Uncertainty Quantification in the Era of AI-Enabled Robots" got accepted. We have an amazing lineup of tentative speakers, see sites.google.com/view/rss2025-wโฆ ๐ The workshop will be held at USC on June 25th (and we guarantee excellent weather ๐๏ธ๐ด)
