The increasing use of deep neural networks (DNNs) in a variety of applications, including some safety-critical ones, has brought renewed interest in the topic of verification of neural networks. However, verification is only meaningful when paired with high-quality formal specifications. In this note, we survey the landscape of formal specification for deep neural networks. Our goal is to lay an initial foundation for formalizing and reasoning about properties of DNNs, and for using these properties in a rigorous design and verification methodology.
