We consider the vector embedding problem. are given a finite set of items, with goal assigning representative to each one, possibly under some constraints (such as collection vectors being standardized, i.e., have zero mean and unit covariance). data indicating that pairs items similar, optionally, other dissimilar. For similar we want corresponding be near other, for dissimilar pairs, not meas...
