In the setting where we want to aggregate people's subjective evaluations, plurality vote may be meaningless when a large amount of low-effort people always report "good" regardless of the true quality. "Surprisingly popular" method,…
The effectiveness of collective decision-making is often challenged by the bounded rationality and inherent stochasticity of individual agents. We investigate this by analyzing how to aggregate decisions from n experts, each receiving a…
In this paper, we present a study of a kernel-based consensual aggregation on randomly projected high-dimensional features of predictions for regression. The aggregation scheme is composed of two steps: the high-dimensional features of…
