Learning a Ground Truth Ranking Using Noisy Approval Votes

I. Caragiannis, E. Micha

Election type Ordinal
Culture Mallows
Candidates {50}
Voters [100-3000]
The experiment considered three values of Phi (for the Mallows model) with three different ranges of voters, but altogether they give the recorded range
Instances 1000
Parameters $\phi \in \{0.052, 0.333, 0.666\}$
Note that the authors use the parameter p, which translates to $\phi = (1-p)/p$ (see the Preliminaries section).
Notes The paper uses approval voting to estimate Mallows central vote and, so, two types of approval voting are studied.
