Stochastic World Models for Verifying Vision-Based Neural Feedback Systems
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.38120v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Verifying a vision-based neural feedback system requires a model of the observations its controller acts upon. Such a model must capture the variation the sensor produces, while remaining tractable for closed-loop analysis. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have served as perception surrogates, but they are large, reproduce complex scenes poorly, and are hard to verify. We explore stochastic world models as a richer class of perception surrogates. We train a world model with physically grounded latents, built from operations that standard ve
