Ben Armstrong, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Kate Larson

We present our work using machine learning models to approximate social choice functions, a.k.a. methods of voting. Voting rules are functions that are given voter preferences and produce a winning candidate.
