Plenary: P1 Les ArcadesRobustness Analysis of Neural Networks via Semidefinite Programming

George J. PappasChair: Panos Patrinos Tuesday, 11.30–12.30

Deep neural networks have dramatically impacted machine learning problems in numerous fields. Despite these majoradvances, neural networks are not robust and hence not suitable for safety-critical applications. In this lecture, we willpresent a novel framework for analyzing the robustness of deep neural networks against norm-bounded nonlinearities.In particular, we develop a semidefinite programming (SDP) framework for safety verification and robustness analysisof neural networks with general activation functions. Our main idea is to abstract various properties of activationfunctions (e.g., monotonicity, bounded slope, bounded values, and repetition across layers) with the formalism ofquadratic constraints. We then analyze the safety properties of the abstracted network via the S-procedure andsemidefinite programming. Compared to other approaches proposed in the literature, our method is less conservative,especially for deep networks, with an order of magnitude reduction in computational complexity. Furthermore, ourapproach is applicable to any activation functions. Such bounds are very important in analyzing the safety of controlsystems regulated by neural networks.

Minicourse: P2 Les ArcadesA Survey of Generalized Gauss Newton and Sequential Convex Programming Methods

Moritz DiehlChair: Wim Michiels Wednesday, 11.30–12.30

This overview talk regards a large class of Newton-type algorithms for nonlinear optimization problems that canexploit “convex-over-nonlinear” substructures. All of the considered algorithms are generalizations of the GaussNewton method, and all of them sequentially solve convex optimization problems that are based on linearizationsof the nonlinear problem functions, and nearly all of them show linear local convergence. Because they are popularin different communities, no generally established terminology exists to date. For example, ”the Generalized Gauss-Newton (GGN) method” means different algorithms in computer science and in numerical mathematics. Anotherpopular name for some algorithms in this class is “Sequential Convex Programming (SCP)”. Aim of this survey talkis an attempt to present and classify all algorithms from this class, investigate and compare their local convergenceproperties, and to report on their applications in estimation, learning, and control.

Plenary: P4 Les ArcadesTowards a Scalable Theory of Control

Anders RantzerChair: Ivan Markovsky Thursday, 08.30–09.30

Classical control theory does not scale well for large systems like traffic networks, power networks and chemicalreaction networks. To change this situation, new approaches need to be developed, not only for analysis and synthesisof controllers, but also for modelling and verification. In this lecture we will present some general classes of networkedcontrol problems for which scalable distributed controllers can be proved to achieve the same performance as thebest centralized ones. We will also show how synthesis and implementation of distributed controllers can be carriedout in a scalable manner. Applications in energy networks and traffic will be discussed.

38th Benelux Meeting on Systems and Control Conference Booklet

Plenary: P5 Les ArcadesAdaptive Control - What Can We Learn?

Anders RantzerChair: Ivan Markovsky Thursday, 12.00–12.45

The history of adaptive control dates back to aircraft autopilot development in the 1950s. Computer control andsystem identification lead to a surge of research activity during the decades to follow. Recently, research activitieshave started to grow again, for reasons similar to the growth of machine leaning; abundance of data and computingresources creates an ever-growing stream of engineering opportunities for adaptation. This presentation will discusssome new research directions for theory of adaptive control. The first one is stimulated by the rapid progress instatistical learning theory for tail and concentration bounds, which makes it possible to analyse transient propertiesof adaptive controllers in a rigorous manner. The second direction is based on deterministic analysis of worst caseresponse to disturbances. By studying min-max games like in H-infinity control, it is possible to compute adaptivefeedback controllers with an optimal exploration-exploitation trade-off.
