SILO: Optimization over Trained Neural Networks: Going Large with Gradient-Based Algorithms

Abstract When optimizing a nonlinear objective, one can employ a neural network as a surrogate for the nonlinear function. However, the resulting optimization model can be time-consuming to solve globally with exact methods. As a result, local search that exploits the neural-network structure has been employed to find good solutions …
