Private Multi-Winner Voting for Machine Learning
Private multi-winner voting is the task of revealing $k$-hot binary vectors satisfying a bounded differential privacy (DP) guarantee. This task has been understudied in machine learning literature despite its prevalence in many domains such as healthcare. We propose three new DP multi-winner mechanisms: Binary, $\tau$, and Powerset voting. Binary voting operates independently per label through composition. $\tau$ voting bounds votes optimally in their $\ell_2$ norm for tight data-independent guarantees. Powerset voting operates over the entire binary vector by viewing the possible outcomes as a power set. Our theoretical and empirical analysis shows that Binary voting can be a competitive mechanism on many tasks unless there are strong correlations between labels, in which case Powerset voting outperforms it. We use our mechanisms to enable privacy-preserving multi-label learning in the central setting by extending the canonical single-label technique: PATE. We find that our techniques outperform current state-of-the-art approaches on large, real-world healthcare data and standard multi-label benchmarks. We further enable multi-label confidential and private collaborative (CaPC) learning and show that model performance can be significantly improved in the multi-site setting.

Data as voters: instance selection using approval-based multi-winner voting
We present a novel approach to the instance selection problem in machine learning (or data mining). Our approach is based on recent results on (proportional) representation in approval-based multi-winner elections. In ou…
Modeling Voters in Multi-Winner Approval Voting
In many real world situations, collective decisions are made using voting and, in scenarios such as committee or board elections, employing voting rules that return multiple winners. In multi-winner approval voting (AV),…
Heuristics in Multi-Winner Approval Voting
In many real world situations, collective decisions are made using voting. Moreover, scenarios such as committee or board elections require voting rules that return multiple winners. In multi-winner approval voting (AV),…
Utilitarian Welfare and Representation Guarantees of Approval-Based Multiwinner Rules
To choose a suitable multiwinner voting rule is a hard and ambiguous task. Depending on the context, it varies widely what constitutes the choice of an ``optimal'' subset of alternatives. In this paper, we provide a quan…
Temporal Fairness in Multiwinner Voting
Multiwinner voting captures a wide variety of settings, from parliamentary elections in democratic systems to product placement in online shopping platforms. There is a large body of work dealing with axiomatic character…
