Preference Elicitation For Participatory Budgeting

G. Benade, S. Nath, A. Procaccia, N. Shah

Election type Ordinal
Culture Real-Life (beyond PrefLib)
Candidates {10}
Voters {5, 7, 10}
Original data is much larger (2600 and 4430 votes) but sampling is used to get final profiles
Instances 80
Somewhat nonstandard process of generating profiles with partial reuse of data. Depending on the setting, we have 50, 80, or 100 profiles, with some correlation (see Sec. 4, “Datasets” in the paper)
Parameters None
Notes Participatory budgeting data from Boston 2015 and 2016 (4 approval and knapsack voting). The paper is as much about ordinal as approval preferences.
