Voting rules can be assessed from quite different perspectives: the axiomatic, pragmatic, in terms of computational or conceptual simplicity, susceptibility to manipulation, and many others aspects. In this paper, we take machine learning perspective ask how prominent voting compare their learnability by a neural network. To address question, train network choosing Condorcet, Borda, plurality w...

Identifying influential individuals in a network is commonly addressed through various socio-metrics like PageRank, Hub and Authority scores [1], etc. These metrics are primarily based on the actor's location in the network [2] and often captures only a subset of the critical factors that are usually at play while predicting influence in networks like, relationship of the network (type of edge)...

Difficult pattern recognition problems involving large class sets and noisy input can be solved by a multiple classifier system, which allows simultaneous use of arbitrary feature descriptors and classification procedures. Independent decisions by each classifier can be combined by methods of the highest rank, Borda count, and logistic regression, resulting in substantial improvement in overall...

Given a large enough population of voters whose utility functions satisfy certain statistical regularities, we show that voting rules such as the Borda rule, approval voting, and evaluative voting have a very high probability of selecting the social alternative which maximizes the utilitarian social welfare function. We also characterize the speed with which this probability approaches one as t...
