Since 2021, I have been a PhD student at the Technical University of Munich; in 2024, I also enrolled at the Masaryk University in Brno for a joint program between the two mentioned universities.
Previously, I was a researcher at Audi AG in Ingolstadt.
My research interests revolve around the safety of Neural Networks.
I am focused on two areas: (i) the abstraction of such systems to speed up verification and (ii) runtime monitoring since verification is not yet applicable to larger neural networks.
We develop runtime monitors for neural networks to improve their reliability.
We abstract neural networks to improve verification speed.
We apply machine learning to the LTL synthesis problem.
We create a tool (Monitizer) that optimizes monitors on a NN for a specific task.

Evaluation of State-of-The-Art Runtime Monitoring Techniques
In this project, we want to compare different runtime monitoring techniques. We want to evaluate them on several types of unseen data and datasets to investigate the performance and capabilities of the techniques. Experiments will be carried out with the help of Monitizer.

Decision Trees for Monitoring Neural Networks
We want to explore the possibilities of using Decision Trees as a more understandable monitor for Neural Networks, potentially in combination with other monitors.

Yifei Xu: A Framework for Evaluation of Runtime Monitors for Object Detection Neural Networks
While Object Detection Neural Networks are of high practical relevance, there is no standard way to evaluate them yet. In addition, not many monitors for this type of NN are known. In this thesis, we develop a framework to evaluate such monitors and present basic network monitoring methods.
