液体民主中的权力：一种网络中心性方法
Power in Liquid Democracy: A Network Centrality Approach
AI总结：
本文针对支持传递性和可暂停委托的液体民主集体决策平台，提出基于随机游走衰减中心性的权力度量框架，还研究了其公理特性、扩展应用及代表名单选择方法。
AI中文摘要：
本文开发了一种计算上易处理的框架，用于测量支持传递性和可暂停委托（通常称为液体民主）的集体决策平台中选民的权力。我们采用随机游走衰减（Random Walk Decay）中心性来捕捉影响力如何通过委托网络传播，论证其在该情境下的直观吸引力以及相比PageRank等替代方法的优势，并在权力度量类别中推导其自然的公理化表征。此外，我们构思了该框架如何扩展为分析此类平台权力分布的实用工具，并从公理和算法角度提出并研究了选择有影响力参与者代表名单的方法。
英文摘要：
This paper develops a computationally tractable framework for measuring voters' power in collective decision-making platforms that support transitive and suspendable delegations---commonly known as liquid democracy. We employ Random Walk Decay centrality to capture how influence propagates through delegation networks, argue for its intuitive appeal in this context and its advantages over alternatives such as PageRank, and derive a natural axiomatic characterization within the class of power metrics. Moreover, we conceptualize how the framework can be extended into a practical tool for analyzing power distributions in such platforms, and propose and study, both axiomatically and algorithmically, methods for selecting representative slates of influential participants.
