Abstract

Neural-network classifiers are trained to achieve high prediction accuracy. However, their performance still suffers from frequently appearing inputs of unknown classes. As a component of a cyber-physical system, the classifier in this case can no longer be reliable and is typically retrained. We propose an algorithmic framework for monitoring reliability of a neural network. In contrast to static detection, a monitor wrapped in our framework operates in parallel with the classifier, communicates interpretable labeling queries to the human user, and incrementally adapts to their feedback.
