New classification aggregation framework parallels Arrow's theorem

Researchers have developed a new framework for classification aggregation that addresses scenarios where individuals assign single categories to objects, but the collective outcome may assign multiple categories. This work, presented on arXiv, introduces axioms such as Responsibility, Split Stability, and Rejection Stability, which characterize specific aggregation rules. These rules, termed junta rules, assign a category to an object if a designated coalition does so, drawing parallels to Arrow's impossibility theorem in economics. AI

IMPACT Introduces new axiomatic frameworks for collective decision-making, potentially influencing AI systems that require aggregation of multiple opinions or classifications.

    Classification Aggregation with Multiple Memberships

    People face the problem of classifying objects into categories while aggregating their opinions. We axiomatically study such a classification aggregation problem with multiple memberships, meaning that each individual assigns one category to every object, whereas the resulting cl…
