| 2024 | NeuroSynt: A Neuro-symbolic Portfolio Solver for Reactive SynthesisabstractAbstract We introduce , a neuro-symbolic portfolio solver framework for reactive synthesis. At the core of the solver lies a seamless integration of neural and symbolic approaches to solving the reactive synthesis problem. To ensure soundness, the neural engine is coupled with model checkers verifying the predictions of the underlying neural models. The open-source implementation of provides an integration framework for reactive synthesis in which new neural and state-of-the-art symbolic approaches can be seamlessly integrated. Extensive experiments demonstrate its efficacy in handling challenging specifications, enhancing the state-of-the-art reactive synthesis solvers, with contributing novel solves in the current SYNTCOMP benchmarks.

| 2023 | nl2spec: Interactively Translating Unstructured Natural Language to Temporal Logics with Large Language ModelsabstractAbstract A rigorous formalization of desired system requirements is indispensable when performing any verification task. This often limits the application of verification techniques, as writing formal specifications is an error-prone and time-consuming manual task. To facilitate this, we present , a framework for applying Large Language Models (LLMs) to derive formal specifications (in temporal logics) from unstructured natural language. In particular, we introduce a new methodology to detect and resolve the inherent ambiguity of system requirements in natural language: we utilize LLMs to map subformulas of the formalization back to the corresponding natural language fragments of the input. Users iteratively add, delete, and edit these sub-translations to amend erroneous formalizations, which is easier than manually redrafting the entire formalization. The framework is agnostic to specific application domains and can be extended to similar specification languages and new neural models. We perform a user study to obtain a challenging dataset, which we use to run experiments on the quality of translations. We provide an open-source implementation, including a web-based frontend.
