Hybrid Knowledge and Data Driven Synthesis of Runtime Monitors for Cyber-Physical Systems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recent advances in sensing and computing technology have led to the proliferation of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in safety-critical domains. However, the increasing device complexity, shrinking technology sizes, and shorter time to market have resulted in significant challenges in ensuring the reliability, safety, and security of CPS. This article presents a hybrid knowledge and data-driven approach for designing run-time context-aware safety monitors that can detect early signs of hazards and mitigate them in CPS. We propose a framework for formal specification of unsafe system context using Signal Temporal Logic (STL) combined with two optimization approaches for scenario-specific refinement and integration of STL specifications using data collected from closed-loop CPS simulations. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in simulation using an autonomous driving system (ADS) and two closed-loop artificial pancreas systems (APS) as well as a publicly-available clinical trial dataset. The results show that a safety monitor developed with the proposed approaches demonstrates up to 4.7 times increase in average prediction accuracy (F1 score) over several well-designed baseline monitors while reducing both false-positive and false-negative rates in most scenarios.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
