Robust Sparse Voting

Rachid Guerraoui, Youssef Allouah, Oscar Jean Olivier Villemaud, Le Nguyen Hoang

Many applications, such as content moderation and recommendation, require reviewing and scoring a large number of alternatives. Doing so robustly is however very challenging. Indeed, voters' inputs are inevitably sparse: most alternatives are only scored b ...

Predicting party switching through machine learning and open data

Silvestro Micera, Emanuele Rossi

Parliament dynamics might seem erratic at times. Predicting future voting patterns could support policy design based on the simulation of voting scenarios. The availability of open data on legislative activities and machine learning tools might enable such ...

Discrete-Choice Mining of Social Processes

Victor Kristof

Poor decisions and selfish behaviors give rise to seemingly intractable global problems, such as the lack of transparency in democratic processes, the spread of conspiracy theories, and the rise in greenhouse gas emissions. However, people are more predict ...

The Distortion of Distributed Voting

Aris Filos Ratsikas

Voting can abstractly model any decision-making scenario and as such it has been extensively studied over the decades. Recently, the related literature has focused on quantifying the impact of utilizing only limited information in the voting process on the ...

The geographic evolution of political cleavages in Switzerland: A network approach to assessing levels and dynamics of polarization between local populations

Shin Alexandre Koseki

Scholarly studies and common accounts of national politics enjoy pointing out the resilience of ideological divides among populations. Building on the image of political cleavages and geographic polarization, the regionalization of politics has become a tr ...

Online Collaborative Prediction of Regional Vote Results

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Mohammad Emtiyaz Khan, Vincent Etter

We consider online predictions of vote results, where regions across a country vote on an issue under discussion. Such online predictions before and during the day of the vote are useful to media agencies, polling institutes, and political parties, e.g., t ...

Ergodic behaviour of "signed voter models"

Thomas Mountford, Grégory Maillard

We answer some questions raised by Gantert, Lowe and Steif (Ann. Inst. Henri Poincare Probab. Stat. 41 (2005) 767 780) concerning "signed" voter models on locally finite graphs. These are voter model like processes with the difference that the edges are co ...

Optimization of Nanoelectronic Systems Reliability under Massive Defect Density Using Distributed R-Fold Modular Redundancy

Alexandre Schmid, Yusuf Leblebici, Milos Stanisavljevic

The theoretical analysis of R-fold modular redundancy with distributed voters - distributed R-fold modular redundancy in terms of reliability is presented for the first time to the best of author's knowledge. This technique is compared in terms of resistan ...
