To combat these difficulties we introduce SACRED, a safety methodology for producing an initial safety case and determining important safety metrics for autonomous systems.

We study challenges using reinforcement learning in controlling energy systems, where apart from performance requirements, one has additional safety requirements such as avoiding blackouts.

We address a special sub-type of performance limitations: the prediction bounding box cannot be perfectly aligned with the ground truth, but the computed Intersection-over-Union metric is always larger than a given threshold.

Ttraditional safety engineering is coming to a turning point moving from deterministic, non-evolving systems operating in well-defined contexts to increasingly autonomous and learning-enabled AI systems which are acting in largely unpredictable operating contexts.

This paper proposes a framework based on a causal model of safety upon which effective safety assurance cases for ML-based applications can be built.

We analyze the structure of the logical operators from a class of quantum codes that generalizes the surface codes.

To this end, we run numerical simulations of the decoder applied to three families of hypergraph product code: topological codes, fixed-rate random codes and a new class of codes that we call semi-topological codes.
