Towards large-scale deliberative decision-making: small groups and the importance of triads
Ashish Goel, David T. Lee
Though deliberation is a critical component of democratic decision-making, existing deliberative processes do not scale to large groups of people. Motivated by this, we propose a m…
Crowdsourcing for Participatory Democracies: Efficient Elicitation of Social Choice Functions
David Lee, Ashish Goel, Tanja Aitamurto +1
We present theoretical and empirical results demonstrating the usefulness of voting rules for participatory democracies. We first give algorithms which efficiently elicit ε-approxi…
Triadic Consensus: A Randomized Algorithm for Voting in a Crowd
Ashish Goel, David Lee
Typical voting rules do not work well in settings with many candidates. If there are just several hundred candidates, then even a simple task such as choosing a top candidate becom…

Pranav Dandekar, Ashish Goel, David Lee
Are we as a society getting more polarized, and if so, why? We try to answer this question through a model of opinion formation. Empirical studies have shown that homophily results…
Generating Probability Distributions using Multivalued Stochastic Relay Circuits
David Lee, Jehoshua Bruck
The problem of random number generation dates back to von Neumann's work in 1951. Since then, many algorithms have been developed for generating unbiased bits from complex correlat…
