Abstract

Temporal logics and their automata-based counterparts have risen as languages for reasoning about processes and verifying their properties. Increasingly, though, the events in a process refer to observations perceived and classified by a neural network, calling for a mixed formalism capable of dealing with the uncertainty of these classifications. We propose Deep Weighted Finite Automata, a new neuro-symbolic architecture combining formal temporal specifications and neural classifications. We also show how to make probabilistic inferences and compute the most likely execution given a sequence of perceptions.
