Computational Social Choice: Some Current and New Directions
نویسنده
چکیده
Computational social choice is an exciting interdisciplinary field at the intersection of computer science and social choice theory. In this article, I discuss some current and new directions in the field. This is an accompanying paper of my IJCAI 2016 Early Career Spotlight invited talk.

Designing social choice mechanisms using machine learning
Social choice studies ordinal preference and information aggregation with applications in high-stakes political elections as well as low-stakes movie rating websites. Recently, computational aspects of classical social choice mechanisms have been extensively investigated, yet not much has been done in designing new mechanisms with the help of computational techniques. In this paper, we outline ...
متن کاملThe 1st international workshop on computational social choice
Computational social choice is a new discipline currently emerging at the interface of social choice theory and computer science. It is concerned with the application of computational techniques to the study of social choice mechanisms, and with the integration of social choice paradigms into computing. The first international workshop specifically dedicated to this topic took place in December...
متن کاملA Short Introduction to Computational Social Choice
Computational social choice is an interdisciplinary field of study at the interface of social choice theory and computer science, promoting an exchange of ideas in both directions. On the one hand, it is concerned with the application of techniques developed in computer science, such as complexity analysis or algorithm design, to the study of social choice mechanisms, such as voting procedures ...
متن کاملVoting in Combinatorial Domains: What Logic and AI Have to Say
Social Choice Theory is the subfield of economics that aims at designing and evaluating methods for collective decision making [1]. Most works in the field focus on normative questions: the problem is generally considered to be solved when the existence (or the non-existence) of a procedure meeting some requirements has been shown; how hard it is to compute this procedure, and how it should be ...
متن کاملRational choice theory
The purpose of rational choice theory is to explain social phenomena by assuming rational choice at the actor’s level. To realize this purpose, the theory assumes two mechanisms: choice by actors and the macro–micro–macro transition. After explaining these mechanisms, this article first shows how rational choice theory successfully explains the problem of social order embodied in various fields...
