Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2017 We extend the principle of proportional representation to rankings: given approval preferences, we aim to generate aggregate rankings so that cohesive groups of voters are represented proportionally in each initial segment of the ranking.
