Preference-Based Rank Elicitation using Statistical Models: The Case of Mallows

Efficient Vote Elicitation under Candidate Uncertainty

Top-k voting is an especially natural form of partial vote elicitation in which only length k prefixes of rankings are elicited. We analyze the ability of top-k vote elicitation to correctly determine true winners, with high probability, given probabilistic models of voter preferences and candidate availability. We provide bounds on the minimal value of k required to determine the correct winne...

Case - Based Preference Elicitation ( Preliminary Report )

While decision theory provides an appealing normative framework for representing rich preference structures, eliciting utility or value functions typically incurs a large cost. For many applications involving interactive systems this overhead precludes the use of formal decision-theoretic models of preference. Instead of performing elicitation in a vacuum, it would be useful if we could augment...

X Efficient Voting via The Top-k Elicitation Scheme: A Probabilistic Approach

Top-k voting is a common form of preference elicitation due to its conceptual simplicity both on the voters’ side and on the decision maker’s side. In a typical setting, given a set of candidates, the voters are required to submit only the k-length prefixes of their intrinsic rankings of the candidates. The decision maker then tries to correctly predict the winning candidate with respect to the...
