A General Framework for Distributed Vote Aggregation
Behrouz Touri, Farzad Farnoud, Angelia Neidic +1
We present a general model for opinion dynamics in a social network together with several possibilities for object selections at times when the agents are communicating. We study t…
A Novel Distance-Based Approach to Constrained Rank Aggregation
Farzad Farnoud, Olgica Milenkovic, Behrouz Touri
We consider a classical problem in choice theory -- vote aggregation -- using novel distance measures between permutations that arise in several practical applications. The distanc…
On Convergence Rate of Scalar Hegselmann-Krause Dynamics
Soheil Mohajer, Behrouz Touri
In this work, we derive a new upper bound on the termination time of the Hegselmann-Krause model for opinion dynamics. Using a novel method, we show that the termination rate of th…
Nonuniform Vote Aggregation Algorithms
Farzad Farnoud, Behrouz Touri, Olgica Milenkovic
We consider the problem of non-uniform vote aggregation, and in particular, the algorithmic aspects associated with the aggregation process. For a novel class of weighted distance…
Novel Distance Measures for Vote Aggregation
Farzad Farnoud, Behrouz Touri, Olgica Milenkovic
We consider the problem of rank aggregation based on new distance measures derived through axiomatic approaches and based on score-based methods. In the first scenario, we derive n…
