SUMMARY:5th ENCODE workshop: Group Accuracy, Delib
 eration, & Social  Influence, Rotterdam, The Nethe
 rlands
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20231003
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20231003
LOCATION:Rotterdam, The Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:According to the celebrated Condorcet 
 Jury Theorem, if we can dispose of a series of jur
 ors who each have an independent, better than rand
 om accuracy regarding a binary issue, then the lar
 ger the group of jurors we take, the more accurate
  the group’s majority opinion on this issue will b
 e. In the limit, the majority opinion will be full
 y reliable. This mathematical result has provided 
 the starting point for a rich literature on the wi
 sdom of crowds and democratic decision-making.  In
  practice however, opinions are not independent. D
 ecision-makers are typically connected through net
 works of social influence, and before casting thei
 r opinion, they may deliberate collectively. When 
 doing so, the shape of the network, the order in w
 hich they exchange information, the levels of trus
 tworthiness attributed to them, and strategic cons
 iderations are crucial for the eventual outcome of
  the process. The aim of this workshop is to cast 
 light on the role of these and other parameters in
  group deliberation, and their implications for gr
 oup accuracy and democracy.  Participation is free
  of charge, but the available spots are limited. P
 lease notify us before September 19th in case you 
 would like to attend.
