• Abstract: Ordinal embedding aims at finding a low dimensional representation of objects from a set of constraints of the form "item $j$ is closer to item $i$ than item $k$". Typically, each object is mapped onto a point vector in a low dimensional metric space. We argue that mapping to a density instead of a point vector provides some interesting advantages, including an inherent reflection of the uncertainty about the representation itself and its relative location in the space. Indeed, in this paper, we propose to embed each object as a Gaussian distribution. We investigate the ability of these embeddings to capture the underlying structure of the data while satisfying the constraints, and explore properties of the representation. Experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets showcase the advantages of our approach. In addition, we illustrate the merit of modelling uncertainty, which enriches the visual perception of the mapped objects in the space.

  We study the problem of object discovery -- separating objects from the background without manual labels. Existing approaches utilize appearance cues, such as color, texture, and location, to group pixels into object-like regions. We choose to focus on dynamic objects -- entities that can move independently in the world.
