Rank aggregation is an essential approach for aggregating the preferences of multiple agents. One rule of particular interest is the Kemeny rule, which maximises the number of pairwise agreements between the final ranking and the existing…
In heterogeneous rank aggregation problems, users often exhibit various accuracy levels when comparing pairs of items. Thus a uniform querying strategy over users may not be optimal. To address this issue, we propose an elimination-based…
