Finite-time influence systems and the Wisdom of Crowd effect. Bullo, F., Fagnani, F., & Franci, B. arXiv:1902.03827 [cs], February, 2019. arXiv: 1902.03827
Paper abstract bibtex Recent contributions have studied how an influence system may affect the wisdom of crowd phenomenon. In the so-called na¨ıve learning setting, a crowd of individuals holds opinions that are statistically independent estimates of an unknown parameter; the crowd is wise when the average opinion converges to the true parameter in the limit of infinitely many individuals. Unfortunately, even starting from wise initial opinions, a crowd subject to certain influence systems may lose its wisdom. It is of great interest to characterize when an influence system preserves the crowd wisdom effect.
