Abstract
This thesis presents a holistic perspective on the use of constrained optimization as a framework for inducing complex behaviors in modern machine learning models. We introduce fundamental concepts and algorithms from constrained optimization through a machine learning lens. We present several case studies highlighting the advantages of the constrained approach, algorithmic innovations for solving constrained problems involving neural networks, and an open-source library that aims to facilitate the adoption of the proposed constrained
framework by the machine learning community.
