Is Textual Similarity Invariant under Machine Translation? Evidence Based on the Political Manifesto Corpus
Daria Boratyn, Damian Brzyski, Albert Leśniak +5
We investigate the extent to which cosine similarity between paragraph embeddings is invariant under machine translation, using the Manifesto Corpus of over 2,800 political party p…
Allocation Proportionality of OWA--Based Committee Scoring Rules
Daria Boratyn, Dariusz Stolicki
While proportionality is frequently named as a desirable property of voting rules, its interpretation in multiwinner voting differs significantly from that in apportionment. We aim…
Effect of Electoral Seat Bias on Political Polarization: A Computational Perspective
Daria Boratyn, Dariusz Stolicki
Research on the causes of political polarization points towards multiple drivers of the problem, from social and psychological to economic and technological. However, political ins…
Guide to Numerical Experiments on Elections in Computational Social Choice
Niclas Boehmer, Piotr Faliszewski, Łukasz Janeczko +7
We analyze how numerical experiments regarding elections were conducted within the computational social choice literature (focusing on papers published in the IJCAI, AAAI, and AAMA…
Nonparametric Detection of Gerrymandering in Multiparty Elections
Wojciech Słomczyński, Dariusz Stolicki, Stanisław Szufa
Partisan gerrymandering, i.e., manipulation of electoral district boundaries for political advantage, is one of the major challenges to election integrity in modern day democracies…
Machine Learning and Statistical Approaches to Measuring Similarity of Political Parties
Daria Boratyn, Damian Brzyski, Beata Kosowska-Gąstoł +3
Mapping political party systems to metric policy spaces is one of the major methodological problems in political science. At present, in most political science project this task is…
Participatory Budgeting: Data, Tools, and Analysis
Piotr Faliszewski, Jarosław Flis, Dominik Peters +5
We provide a library of participatory budgeting data (Pabulib) and open source tools (Pabutools and Pabustats) for analysing this data. We analyse how the results of participatory…
Spoiler Susceptibility in Party Elections
Daria Boratyn, Wojciech Słomczyński, Dariusz Stolicki +1
An electoral spoiler is usually defined as a losing candidate whose removal would affect the outcome by changing the winner. So far, spoiler effects have been analyzed primarily fo…
Pabulib: A Participatory Budgeting Library
Dariusz Stolicki, Stanisław Szufa, Nimrod Talmon
We describe the PArticipatory BUdgeting LIBrary website (in short, Pabulib), which can be accessed via http://pabulib.org/, and which is a library of participatory budgeting data.…
A Formal Model of the Relationship between the Number of Parties and the District Magnitude
Daria Boratyn, Jarosław Flis, Wojciech Słomczyński +1
On the basis of a formula for calculating seat shares and natural thresholds in multidistrict elections under the Jefferson-D'Hondt system and a probabilistic model of electoral be…
Average Weights and Power in Weighted Voting Games
Daria Boratyn, Werner Kirsch, Wojciech Słomczyński +2
We investigate a class of weighted voting games for which weights are randomly distributed over the standard probability simplex. We provide close-formed formulae for the expectati…
Double Majority and Generalized Brexit: Explaining Counterintuitive Results
Werner Kirsch, Wojciech Słomczyński, Dariusz Stolicki +1
A mathematical analysis of the distribution of voting power in the Council of the European Union operating according to the Treaty of Lisbon is presented. We study the effects of B…
Seat Allocation and Seat Bias under the Jefferson--D'Hondt Method
Daria Boratyn, Wojciech Słomczyński, Dariusz Stolicki
We prove that under the Jefferson--D'Hondt method of apportionment, given certain distributional assumptions regarding mean rounding residuals, as well as absence of correlations b…
