Given a preference profile, a social dichotomy function partitions the set of alternatives into a set of approved alternatives and a set of disapproved alternatives. The Borda mean rule approves all alternatives with above-average Borda score, and disapproves alternatives with below-average Borda score. We show that the Borda mean rule is the unique social dichotomy function satisfying neutrali...

Both weighted and unweighted Borda manipulation problems have been proved NP-hard. However, there is no exact combinatorial algorithm known for these problems. In this paper, we initiate the study of exact combinatorial algorithms for both weighted and unweighted Borda manipulation problems. More precisely, we propose O∗((m · 2)) time andO∗(t2m) time combinatorial algorithms for weighted and un...

In this paper we discuss the integration of different GIR systems by means of a fuzzy Borda method for result fusion. Two of the systems, the one by the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia and the one of the Universidad of Jaén participated to the GeoCLEF task under the name TextMess. The proposed result fusion method takes as input the document lists returned by the different systems and retur...

Decision-making for medicines to be accepted in Iran's public health insurance reimbursement list is a complex process and involves factors, which should be considered in applying a coverage for medicine costs. These processes and factors are not wholly assessed, while assessment of these factors is an essential need for getting a transparent and evidence-based approach toward medicine reimburs...

This paper describe the joint participation by the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia and the Universidad of Jaén to the GeoCLEF task. This activity has been carried out within the framework of the Spanish TextMESS project (Intelligent, Interactive and Multilingual Text Mining based on Human Language Technologies). The method employed for the participation is a result merging algorithm based o...

Face recognition has awide range of possible applications in surveillance, human computer interfaces and marketing and advertising goods for selected customers according to age and gender. Because of the high classification rate and reduced computational time, one of the best methods for face recognition is based on Gabor jet feature extraction and Borda count classification. In this paper, we ...
