Majority vote process on general sructures
The majority vote process (MVP) was one of the earliest interacting particle systems (IPS) to be explored, but little progress has been made except on Z and the d-ary regular trees Td, with d ≥ 5. This thesis considers the majority vote process defined on more general structures (S, N ), where S …

A comparison of the small group decision-making techniques of majority vote and consensus.
… fill this gap by examining the two processes of majority vote and consensus. Eighty subjects were divided into nine groups of approximately nine each. Each individual reached a decision concerning the best selective service system, and then the groups reached group decisions, three groups using …

Mouse behavior recognition with the wisdom of crowd
… Our algorithms are shown to perform better than majority vote heuristic. We also carried out extensive experiments to determine the effectiveness of our labeling tool, inference algorithms and the overall system.

A CARTOGRAPHIC OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION SYSTEM
… The final recognition deci-sion was decided by a majority vote. An interactive sounding editing capa-bility was included so that 'unrecognized' soundings could be input manually by the program operator. The complexity of the problem necessitated the construction of sophis-ticated hardware for both …

Bounded Expectation of Label Assignment: Dataset Annotation by Supervised Splitting with Bias-Reduction Techniques
… the same label. BELA can then infer labels by majority vote of the known labels in each subset. BELA makes the decision to split or label from a subset by maximizing a lower bound on the expected number of correctly labeled examples. BELA improves upon existing hierarchical labeling schemes by …

Human Rights Enforcement at the International Criminal Court: An Interdisciplinary Proposal for a Multi-level Approach Based on Wendt and Habermas
… State, and d) procedures are created for a majority or super-majority vote in order to veto resolutions that come before the Security Council. The author further suggests that these measures could begin to address the struggle among States in the international system for mutual recognition …

Distributed Training with Heterogeneous Data: Bridging Median- and Mean-Based Algorithms
… Two prominent examples include signSGD with majority vote, an effective approach for communication reduction via 1-bit compression on the local gradients, and medianSGD, an algorithm recently proposed to ensure robustness against Byzantine workers. The convergence analyses for these …

On boosting and noisy labels
… commonly used in machine learning experiments. A majority vote ensemble filter identified on average that 2.5% of the points in the dataset as noisy. The experiments chiefly investigated boosting's treatment of noisy points from a volume-based perspective. While the cell volume surrounding noisy …

Data fusion of complementary information from parietal and occipital event related potentials for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease
… are then combined through the weighted majority vote, product and sum rule combination schemes. The results indicate that a correct diagnosis performance of over 80% can be obtained by combining data primarily from parietal and occipital lobe electrodes. The performance significantly …

School Bond Elections In Iowa: An Analysis of Factors, Strategies, and Policies that Influence Outcomes
… major reasons for bond issues. Listening to the voters, the campaign committee, the level of community involvement, and a unified school board were crucial to passing the bond issue. The most successful strategy was communicating with the public in as many ways as possible. Laws impacting bond …

Smart Distributed Generation Systems Using Improved Islanding Detection and Event Classification
… Five parallel ANNs have been designed with a majority vote final stage to represent the final classification output. A total of 310 event cases have been generated to test the performance of the technique. This technique classified the events within 10 cycles of their occurrence with a 98% …

Application of Computer Vision Techniques for Railroad Inspection using UAVs
… training and testing and an ensemble method with majority vote scheme was also explored for classification. The second category of learning model used was a multi-layered neural network. The major drawback of this method was, it required a lot of images for training. However, it performed better …
