Query: A Permutation-Equivariant Neural Network Architecture For Auction Design   Designing an incentive compatible auction that maximizes expected revenue is
a central problem in Auction Design. Theoretical approaches to the problem have
hit some limits in the past decades and analytical solutions are known for only
a few simple settings. Computational approaches to the problem through the use
of LPs have their own set of limitations. Building on the success of deep
learning, a new approach was recently proposed by Duetting et al. (2019) in
which the auction is modeled by a feed-forward neural network and the design
problem is framed as a learning problem. The neural architectures used in that
work are general purpose and do not take advantage of any of the symmetries the
problem could present, such as permutation equivariance. In this work, we
consider auction design problems that have permutation-equivariant symmetry and
construct a neural architecture that is capable of perfectly recovering the
permutation-equivariant optimal mechanism, which we show is not possible with
the previous architecture. We demonstrate that permutation-equivariant
architectures are not only capable of recovering previous results, they also
have better generalization properties.
