INTRODUCTION • Human communication increasingly relies on technology • Text based communication (TBC) lacks communicative richness, as compared to face to communication (Harris & Paradice, 2007) • However, typographic cues may add informativeness by mimicking tone of voice in TBC (Riordan & Kreuz, 2010) • Gunraj et al. (2016) found one word response with ending period is perceived as rude/ insi...

Gold questions are a standard mechanism to detect insincere workers on crowdsourcing platforms. They usually rely on the assumption that workers should obtain perfect accuracy on the task. In this work, we are interested in crowdsourcing difficult multi-class visual recognition tasks, for which this assumption is not met, and we propose a novel method for generating gold questions in this context.

Someone who is lying intends to hide their insincerity from the listener, while a sarcastic speaker wants the listener to recognize they are speaking insincerely. We investigated whether face-to-fa...

Œe normative properties of these voting rules however, are o‰en only understood in the context of sincere voting. In this paper we consider PR in the presence of strategic voters. We construct a voting rule such that for every preference p...

In this paper we discuss three examples of approval voting games. The first one illustrates that a stronger solution concept than perfection is needed for a strategic analysis of this type of games. The second example shows that sophisticated voting can imply that the Condorcet winner gets no vote. The third example shows the possibility of insincere voting being a stable equilibrium.
