Partial order embedding with multiple kernels
Brian McFee, Gert R. G. Lanckriet · 2009
We consider the problem of embedding arbitrary objects (e.g., images, audio, documents) into Euclidean space subject to a partial order over pair-wise distances. Partial order constraints arise naturally when modeling human perception of similarity. Our partial order framework enables the use of graph-theoretic tools to more efficiently produce the embedding, and exploit global structure within the constraint set.
