Convergence rates for ordinal embedding

Abstract

We prove optimal bounds for the convergence rate of ordinal embedding (also known as non-metric multidimensional scaling) in the 1-dimensional case. The examples witnessing optimality of our bounds arise from a result in additive number theory on sets of integers with no three-term arithmetic progressions. We also carry out some computational experiments aimed at developing a sense of what the convergence rate for ordinal embedding might look like in higher dimensions.
