"LLM-Verifier systems get a boost with 4/$\delta$ Bound theorem! #FormalVerification #LLM #SoftwareVerification"

The introduction of Formal Verification tools with large language models (LLMs) has revolutionized software verification, but current methods lack reliability due to the absence of a solid theoretical foundation. This research addresses this gap by developing an LLM-Verifier Convergence...

I cannot get enough of our shared Vulgar Technobabble that we #ComputerScientists speak. Even #ACM #TuringAward winning blokes speak this way.🤣

Interviewer—What is a good way to understand what #ModelChecking is and what it does?

#AllenEmerson—[staring intently at his toes] Well, uh, in "layman's terms", model checking is an algorithmic method of verifying correctness of nominally finite state systems, uh, against a specification that's typically given in temporal logic. Uh, if the model checker, the model checking tool that's been implemented, uh, returns "yes", then the system is correct. If it, uh, returns "no", the specification is violated, and a counterexample is produced.

Sure, we get it; it is but #SoftwareVerification in so many words. But does a "layman" get it?

Creating a new #introduction, since life changes. For 12 years I was a #SoftwareEngineer at Google, working predominantly on #EngineeringProductivity. Now I’m at smaller startup doing smaller-startup things. My Ph.D. is in #SoftwareVerification.

I stopped really posting on Twitter eight years before moving to Mastodon, so I’m a little rusty and tend to fall out of it from time to time.

I continue to forecast that my posts will soon be all #beagle, all the time.
