Certification Hard for Transformers and Circuits

A new research paper explores the difficulty of certifying the exact behavior of neural networks, particularly Transformers and circuits, even with minimal overparametrization. The study demonstrates that adding even a single extra gate to threshold circuits can exponentially increase the size of certification certificates required. Similar hardness results are shown for log-precision Transformers, indicating that ensuring exactness guarantees for these models is a computationally challenging problem. AI

    Certification from Examples is Hard for Circuits and Transformers under Minimal Overparametrization

    arXiv:2605.22964v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As state-of-the-art neural networks are deployed on reasoning and algorithmic tasks, exactness guarantees become increasingly important. However, high average-case accuracy can still mask inconsistent behaviors. This motivates exact…
