Nov 4, 2022 at 22:03 comment added Arthur B @EmilJeřábek I'm not sure how you would construct $g$, can you elaborate?
Nov 4, 2022 at 22:02 comment added Arthur B @GerryMyerson it's a popular term in machine learning, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-hot has a few references.
Nov 3, 2022 at 9:32 comment added Emil Jeřábek I haven’t tried to flesh this out, but what if I take $d=2$ and $g(x_i)=(i,-i)$, where $X=\{x_i:1\le i\le n\}$? Since the $g(x_i)$ are pairwise incomparable, I think it should be possible to construct continuous $f\colon\mathbb R^4\to\mathbb R$ nondecreasing in all coordinates that takes arbitrary given values on the pairs $(g(x_i),g(x_j))$ (so I don’t even need any assumptions on the relation $R$). Or is there something seriously wrong with this idea?

Nov 2, 2022 at 12:22 comment added Joel David Hamkins Sorry, should be spelled asymmetric.
Nov 2, 2022 at 11:54 comment added Joel David Hamkins Relation $R$ is antisymmetric means: $xRy\wedge yRx\implies x=y$. Relation $R$ is assymmetric means: $xRy\implies \neg yRx$.

Nov 2, 2022 at 11:26 comment added Joel David Hamkins I think you mean asymmetric+irreflexive, rather than anti-symmetric+nonreflexive.
Nov 2, 2022 at 8:48 comment added Gerry Myerson So, one-hot encoding means "a one-one map from a set of $n$ elements to the canonical basis of ${\bf R}^n$"? Why is such a map called "one-hot"? Is there a citation for this usage?
Nov 2, 2022 at 8:36 comment added bof By "not reflexive" do you mean "irreflexive", i.e., that $xRx$ never holds? Are you assuming that for any $x$ and $y$ one and only one of $x=y$, $xRy$, $yRx$ holds? And nothing else is assumed? In other words, is the introduction to your question just an obscure way of describing a tournament of order $n$? Or am I missing something?

Nov 2, 2022 at 8:23 comment added Arthur B Thanks for the edits and apologies for the ESL blip, funny as it is. @LSpice I clarified one-hot encoding
Nov 2, 2022 at 6:56 comment added Michael Greinecker @SamHopkins But general partial orders are not connected. Finite linear orders are certainly interval orders.

Nov 2, 2022 at 1:11 comment added Michael Greinecker The case $d\neq n$ makes no sense.

Nov 2, 2022 at 1:05 comment added LSpice What does "one-hot encoding" mean? (I also took the liberty of changing "monotonous" to "monotonic", which, though less funny, is I think more common.)
