CG4AI: A Column Generation Framework for Training AI Models Under Constraints

CG4AI is a column generation framework that trains AI models while enforcing linear constraints on their outputs. It constructs a convex combination of models, using a master linear program to set mixture weights and a pricing subproblem to generate new models guided by dual variables, focusing on the most violated constraints. The method is applied to MNIST digit classification—demonstrating constraint learning, adversarial robustness, error correction, and output relabeling—and to multi‑commodity flow routing, achieving feasible predictors with higher accuracy than single‑model baselines.
