There is a striking relationship between a three hundred years old Political Science theorem named "Condorcet's jury theorem" (1785), which states that majorities are more likely to choose correctly when individual votes are often correct and independent, and a modern Machine Learning concept called "Strength of Weak Learnability" (1990), which describes a method for converting a weak learning algorithm into one that achieves arbitrarily high accuracy and stands in the basis of Ensemble Learning.
