Application of L-Fuzzy Relation to Social Choice Theory
… The majority rule might not always be the best choice for aggregating individual preferences, and individual preferences may be uncertain or partial. For example, someone may prefer a candidate over another, not absolutely, but only up to a certain degree. The objective research of this proposal …

Democracy, elections, and rationality: An examination of the implications of social choice theory for the theory and practice of American government
… to access the significance of this result to the theory and practice of democratic government.

Is economic growth desirable? A welfare economic analysis of the Thai experience
… is desirable as it is the best means to increase social welfare and enhancing social welfare is a rational objective of society and governments. Economic growth increases social welfare through improving health outcomes, food intake and access to other basic needs. However, the costs of achieving …

Towards a New Algorithm for Event Recommendation System
… our model. These axioms are mostly derived from social choice theory.

Multiagent Approaches to Enhance Learning and Trust in AI Systems
… as accuracy. Building on cooperative game theory and social choice theory, it introduces Banzhaf indices to generate stable counterfactual explanations for graph neural networks and proposes voting based aggregation rules such as thresholded Borda count to defend against data poisoning in …

A páros összehasonlításokon alapuló rangsorolás módszertani és alkalmazási kérdései = Methodological and applicational issues of paired comparison based ranking
… other. They arise in many different fields like social choice theory (Chebotarev and Shamis, 1998), sports (Landau, 1895, 1914; Zermelo, 1929) or psychology (Thurstone, 1927). The usual goal is to determine a winner (possibly a set of winners) or a complete ranking for the objects. There were …

The Efficacy of Different Analysis Algorithms for Summarizing Online Deliberations
… algorithms, inspired by computational social choice theory and abstract argumentation theory, have recently been proposed. These algorithms seek to provide more representative (i.e. portraying all perspectives) and consistent (i.e. comments within a perspective do not oppose each other) …

Collective and Individual Rationality: Some Episodes in the History of Economic Thought
… An examination of the prisoners' dilemma in game theory and Arrow's impossibility theorem in social choice theory sets the scene. The prisoners' dilemma epitomises the collective irrationality coordination problems lead to. The source of the dilemma is identified as the combination of …

Gene prioritization through hybrid distance-score rank aggregation
… fusion techniques from machine learning and social choice theory. b) Second, we propose a new approach to genomic data aggregation, termed HyDRA (Hybrid Distance-score Rank Aggregation), which combines the advantages of score-based and combinatorial aggregation techniques. We also propose …

Three essays in collective choice theory
… contains three essays at the frontier of social choice theory and the theory of games. In the first essay, we consider the problem of dividing a fixed quantity of a perfectly divisible good among n individuals with single-peaked preferences. We show that the properties of …

Computational Aspects of Approval Voting and Declared-Strategy Voting
<p>Computational social choice is a relatively new discipline that explores issues at the intersection of social choice theory and computer science. Designing a protocol for collective decision-making is made difficult by the possibility of manipulation through insincere voting. In approval voting …

Essays in group decision-making
… in production. The second essay is in stochastic social choice theory. In a paper published in 1986 in Econometrica, Pattanaik and Peleg formulated stochastic analogues for each of Arrow's axioms and concluded that the stochastic social choice functions that satisfy their axioms are essentially …

Diversity and Expertise in Representative Governance
… The sixth chapter, drawing on computational social choice, formulates a unified framework for comparing selection mechanisms. It devises a model in which different selection mechanisms can be formalized and evaluated axiomatically. It classifies selection mechanisms based on whether they are …

Collective belief models for representing consensus and divergence in communities of Bayesian decision-makers
… properties for rational aggregation defined by social choice theorists. This dissertation introduces a new aggregation approach that maintains the diversity of a population and allows the competitive aspects of a situation to emerge, enabling game theoretic analysis in large populations of …
