LF-checker: Machine Learning Acceleration of Bounded Model Checking for Concurrency Verification (Competition Contribution)

Abstract: We describe and evaluate LF-checker, a metaverifier tool based on machine learning. It extracts multiple features of the program under test and predicts the optimal configuration (flags) of a bounded model checker with a decision tree. Our current work is specialised in concurrency verification and employs ESBMC as a back-end verification engine. In the paper, we demonstrate that LF-checker achieves better results than the default configuration of the underlying verification engine.
