Researchers have developed a novel method called AURORA for aggregating user preferences while prioritizing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). This approach embeds EDI constraints directly into the graph structure of user preferences, rather than applying corrections after aggregation. AURORA utilizes a greedy coarsening algorithm to merge user nodes, enforcing specific structural EDI criteria such as an equity gap constraint, an intra-list diversity constraint, and a group inclusion constraint. Evaluations across five datasets from domains including movie recommendations, professor ratings, and academic author lists demonstrate that AURORA consistently improves diversity and can achieve better fairness-diversity trade-offs compared to classical voting rules like Borda and Condorcet.
