Fairsquare: probabilistic verification of program fairness

A Albarghouthi, L D'Antoni, S Drews… - Proceedings of the ACM on …, 2017 - dl.acm.org
With the range and sensitivity of algorithmic decisions expanding at a break-neck speed, it is
imperative that we aggressively investigate fairness and bias in decision-making programs …

Bounded expectations: resource analysis for probabilistic programs

VC Ngo, Q Carbonneaux, J Hoffmann - ACM SIGPLAN Notices, 2018 - dl.acm.org
This paper presents a new static analysis for deriving upper bounds on the expected
resource consumption of probabilistic programs. The analysis is fully automatic and derives …

Scaling exact inference for discrete probabilistic programs

S Holtzen, G Van den Broeck, T Millstein - Proceedings of the ACM on …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
Probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) are an expressive means of representing and
reasoning about probabilistic models. The computational challenge of probabilistic …

Detecting flaky tests in probabilistic and machine learning applications

Stochastic omega-regular verification and control with supermartingales

A Abate, M Giacobbe, D Roy - International Conference on Computer …, 2024 - Springer
We present for the first time a supermartingale certificate for ω-regular specifications. We
leverage the Robbins & Siegmund convergence theorem to characterize supermartingale …

Probabilistic verification of fairness properties via concentration
