Dear faculty and students,<br>
<br>
We look forward to seeing you Next Tuesday, January 17, at noon in NSH 3305<br>
for the *first* AI lunch this semester. To learn more about the seminar and<br>
lunch, please visit<br>
the AI Lunch webpage <<a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~aiseminar/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~<wbr>aiseminar/</a>>.<br>
<br>
On Tuesday, Swaprava Nath <<a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~swapravn/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~<wbr>swapravn/</a>> will give a<br>
talk titled ?Preference Elicitation For Participatory Budgeting?.<br>
<br>
*Abstract:* Participatory budgeting enables the allocation of public funds<br>
by collecting and aggregating individual preferences; it has already had a<br>
sizable real-world impact. But making the most of this new paradigm<br>
requires a rethinking of some of the basics of computational social choice,<br>
including the very way in which individuals express their preferences. We<br>
analytically compare four preference elicitation methods -- knapsack votes,<br>
rankings by value or value for money, and threshold approval votes --<br>
through the lens of implicit utilitarian voting, and find that threshold<br>
approval votes are qualitatively superior. This conclusion is supported by<br>
experiments using data from real participatory budgeting elections.<br>
<br>
This is a joint work with Gerdus Benade, Ariel D. Procaccia, and Nisarg<br>
Shah.<br>
