arXiv:2602.14154v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Differentiating through the solution of a quadratic program (QP) is a central problem in differentiable optimization. Most existing approaches differentiate through the Karush--Kuhn--Tucker (KKT) system, but their computational cost and numerical robustness can degrade at scale. To address these limitations, we propose dXPP, a penalty-based differentiation framework that decouples QP solving from differentiation. In the solving step (forward pass), dXPP is solver-agnostic and can leverage any black-box QP solver. In the differentiation step (
The continuous drive for more efficient and robust differentiation methods in AI and optimization is leading to new algorithmic approaches like dXPP, building on prior work in differentiable optimization.
Improved methods for differentiating through complex optimization problems enhance the capabilities of AI systems, particularly in areas requiring black-box solver integration and scalable training.
The ability to more efficiently differentiate through black-box quadratic programming solvers could accelerate the development and deployment of advanced AI models that rely on such optimization techniques.
