This paper explores the integration of optimization problems within neural network architectures, enabling strict adherence to hard constraints in deep learning. By directly embedding optimization layers as differentiable components within deep networks, researchers have overcome traditional limitations. The paper surveys the evolution and current state of this approach, from early implementations limited to quadratic programming to more recent frameworks supporting general convex optimization problems. It provides a comprehensive review of the background, theoretical foundations, and emerging applications of this technology, including detailed mathematical proofs and use cases that demonstrate its potential.

This paper is about how neural networks can follow rules or constraints better. Right now, neural networks are good at doing things they’re trained for, but sometimes they need to follow specific rules. Researchers found a way to add these rules directly into the network, so it can follow them correctly. The paper looks back at how this was developed and what it means for future research.
