New AI framework PriorityNet optimizes resource allocation with EF1 and NSW

Researchers have developed a deep reinforcement learning framework called PriorityNet to address the allocation of indivisible goods while satisfying envy-freeness up to one good (EF1) and maximizing Nash social welfare (NSW). The framework uses Proximal Policy Optimization and prospective EF1 action masking to ensure that every assignment preserves EF1 without post-processing. Experiments showed PriorityNet achieved high mean normalized NSW values in both offline and online regimes, outperforming baseline methods. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve fairness and efficiency in resource allocation problems, particularly in complex systems like 5G networks.

    EF1-Constrained Nash Social Welfare with Identical Additive Valuations: Complexity, Guarantees, and Experiments

    arXiv:2609.03846v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the allocation of indivisible goods among agents with identical additive valuations, focusing on envy-freeness up to one good (EF1) and Nash social welfare (NSW). Since every maximum-NSW allocation is EF1 under additive v…
