Abstract:
A method for using a neural network to generate an improved graph model includes receiving, by the neural network, a graph model. The graph model is based on data relating to an environment for allocating resources to a first group and a second group. The method further includes receiving, by the neural network, a budget for editing the graph model based on a cost of corresponding modification to the environment, and determining, by the neural network, a fairness representation based on a fairness requirement between the first and second groups. It is determined by the neural network, a utility function for the graph model based on first and second group utilities representing resource allocation to the first and second groups respectively. Reinforcement learning is performed on the neural network to generate the improved graph model using the utility function and the fairness representation.
