Certifying safety in dynamical systems is crucial, but barrier certificates typically require explicit system models.
A novel approach is proposed for synthesizing barrier certificates for unknown systems with latent states and polynomial dynamics.
A Bayesian framework is employed, updating a prior in state-space representation using input-output data via a targeted marginal Metropolis-Hastings sampler.
The resulting samples are used to construct a candidate barrier certificate through a sum-of-squares program, providing probabilistic guarantees for the unknown system.
