  4. Abstract:
  5. This paper presents a novel approach to data-driven facility location balancing that leverages the power of machine learning (ML) and Shannon entropy. We introduce a ML algorithm that, for the first time, employs nearest neighbor methods for stochastic gradient estimation to learn continuous-space facility locations from data. This innovative approach achieves a speedup of two orders of magnitude over traditional methods. Evaluated through a proposed adjusted entropy ratio metric, our method improves load balancing by 62% compared to k -means, particularly in densely populated areas where k- means falls short. Shannon Entropy ensures balanced coverage in facility location tasks, offering significant benefits in scenarios requiring more equitable subdivision of crowded regions. © 2024 IEEE
