This result is in contrast with the literature on one-round voting …

Voting rules can be assessed from quite different perspectives: the axiomatic, the pragmatic, in terms of computational … learning perspective and ask how 'well' a few prominent voting rules can be learned by a neural network. To address this … training sample size for a neural network varies significantly with the voting rule, and we rank a number of popular voting …
