Measuring and Controlling Divisiveness in Rank Aggregation
In rank aggregation, members of a population rank issues to decide which are collectively preferred. We focus instead on identifying divisive issues that express disagreements among the preferences of individuals. We analyse the properties of our divisiveness measures and their relation to existing notions of polarisation. We also study their robustness under incomplete preferences and algorithms for control and manipulation of divisiveness. Our results advance our understanding of how to quantify disagreements in collective decision-making.

Manufactured Divisiveness: Decomposing the Hostile Content of Seven Social Media Influence Operations
State-backed influence operations are routinely measured as high-prevalence sources of ``hate'' and ``toxicity.'' We argue those rates rest on a measurement error: the detectors behind them are validated to catch a broad…
Alleviating the recommendation bias via rank aggregation
The primary goal of a recommender system is often known as "helping users find relevant items", and a lot of recommendation algorithms are proposed accordingly. However, these accuracy-oriented methods usually suffer the…

Measuring Bias in a Ranked List using Term-based Representations
In most recent studies, gender bias in document ranking is evaluated with the NFaiRR metric, which measures bias in a ranked list based on an aggregation over the unbiasedness scores of each ranked document. This perspec…
