TCS+ Talk: Paul Gölz (Harvard University)

Title: News from Algorithmic Democracy: Proportional Representation for Preferences and Demographics
Abstract: How do you fill a knapsack with city projects to fund, in a way that aligns with voters’ preferences? And how do you choose a committee that represents the population’s makeup in terms of gender, age, etc.? Both questions are central to experiments with new forms of democracy in practice, and both have spurred an exploration for the right algorithms in computational social choice. In this talk, I will survey advances along these thrusts: proposed algorithms, guarantees offered and sought after, as well as technical challenges and connections.
