Neural voting machines
In theories of cognition that view the mind as a system of interacting agents, there must be mechanisms for aggregate decision-making, such as voting. Here we show that certain vo...

Aggregating preferences in multi-issue domains by using maximum likelihood estimators
In this paper, we study a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) approach to preference aggregation and voting when the set of alternatives has a multi-issue structure, and the voter...

Model Selection Through Sparse Maximum Likelihood Estimation
We consider the problem of estimating the parameters of a Gaussian or binary distribution in such a way that the resulting undirected graphical model is sparse. Our approach is to...
