DRLRA: A Deep Reinforcement Learning Architecture Based on Resource Allocation for Mining Key Players in Networks

Network key nodes are very important in a network, after identifying them, network optimization can be carried out for these nodes. For example, increasing bandwidth or resource allocation, enhancing fault tolerance, protecting and strengthening key nodes. Or destroy key nodes to quickly break down the network, just like spreading rumors and preventing diseases. Different network optimization measures may vary in different network scenarios, but the core is to enhance or break key nodes, thereby affecting the overall network performance and effectiveness. However, most current network key node identification is based on fixed mathematical models or formulas, limiting the possibility of deep information mining in the network. To address this issue, this paper proposes a deep learning network architecture based on resource allocation to identify key nodes in the network. This allows for more in-depth feature extraction of network semantics and structures while combining the resource allocation situation of each node. In the process of gradually disintegrating the network through deep reinforcement learning, finding the strategy with the fastest decrease in cumulative connectivity rate is considered optimal. Finally, this paper compares the performance of six classical algorithms and the optimal algorithm on six real networks. The effectiveness improvement is 8.11% without sacrificing performance, validating the effectiveness of the method.
