How collective comparisons emerge without individual comparisons of the options
Collective decisions in animal groups emerge from the actions of individuals who are unlikely to have global information. Comparative assessment of options can be valuable in decision-making. Ant colonies are excellent collective decision-makers, for example when selecting a new nest-site. Here, we test the dependency of this cooperative process on comparisons conducted by individual ants. We p...
متن کاملCollective Intelligence: How Does It Emerge?
While collective intelligence is not a new phenomenon, the internet and digital media have greatly extended the possibilities of remote collective collaboration. The joint effect of a networked public, digital platform and open organisations are allowing knowledge to emerge from truly novel forms of social interaction. However, not all collective digital projects are successful in engaging peop...
متن کاملWage interactions: comparisons or fall-back options?
This paper examines the degree to which the importance of wages elsewhere in wage determination stems from comparisons made by workers, as opposed to re°ecting unions' fall-back options in the bargaining process. The di±culty of distinguishing these hypotheses is shown in the context of a bargaining model. It is argued that the use of the wage of a `pay leader' solves the fundamental problem of...
متن کاملComparisons in Evolution and Engineering: The Collective Intelligence of Sorting
Collaboration between biologists and roboticists can facilitate the creation of new behavioral algorithms by roboticists and help biologists by exposing the underlying mechanisms that allow the algorithms to function (for a review see Webb, 2000). This paper makes a direct comparison between robot annular puck sorting using real robots (Wilson, Melhuish, Sendova-Franks & Scholes, 2004) and broo...
متن کاملEstimating Unobserved Individual Heterogeneity through Pairwise Comparisons
This paper proposes a new methodology to study environments with unobserved agent heterogeneity. We focus on the settings where the heterogeneous factor takes values from an unknown finite set, and the economic model yields testable implications in the form of pairwise inequalities. The method produces a consistent classification of economic agents according to their unobserved types. The paper...
