ABOUT THE TALK

This thesis tackles fair sequential decision learning in AI for social good, focusing on Restless Multi-Armed Bandits (RMAB) and Reinforcement Learning (RL). The study primarily addresses the challenges of resource constraints, proposing scalable algorithms for fair resource allocation in public health interventions, efficient learning for influence maximization in social networks, and a hierarchical framework to reduce training costs while ensuring fairness and effectiveness in resource-limited environments.
