Abstract
Training neural networks to be certifiably robust is critical to ensure their
safety against adversarial attacks. However, it is currently very difficult to
train a neural network that is both accurate and certifiably robust. In this
work we take a step towards addressing this challenge. We prove that for every
continuous function $f$, there exists a network $n$ such that: (i) $n$
approximates $f$ arbitrarily close, and (ii) simple interval bound propagation
of a region $B$ through $n$ yields a result that is arbitrarily close to the
optimal output of $f$ on $B$. Our result can be seen as a Universal
Approximation Theorem for interval-certified ReLU networks. To the best of our
knowledge, this is the first work to prove the existence of accurate,
interval-certified networks.
