contents We propose an optimization proxy in terms of iterative implicit gradient methods for solving constrained optimization problems with nonconvex loss functions. This framework can be applied to a broad range of machine learning settings, including meta-learning, hyperparameter optimization, large-scale complicated constrained optimization, and reinforcement learning. The proposed algorithm builds upon the iterative differentiation (ITD) approach. We extend existing convergence and rate analyses from the bilevel optimization literature to a constrained bilevel setting, motivated by learning under explicit constraints. Since solving bilevel problems using first-order methods requires evaluating the gradient of the inner-level optimal solution with respect to the outer variable (the implicit gradient), we develop an efficient computation strategy suitable for large-scale structures. Furthermore, we establish error bounds relative to the true gradients and provide non-asymptotic convergence rate guarantees.
