Ordinal Embeddings

The objective of ordinal embedding is to find a Euclidean representation of a set of abstract items, using only answers to triplet comparisons of the form "Is item i closer to the item j or item k?". In recent years, numerous algorithms have been …

To investigate objects without a describable notion of distance, one can gather ordinal information by asking triplet comparisons of the form "Is object x closer to y or is x closer to z?" In order to learn from such data, the objects are typically …
