Abstract:

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) constructs Euclidean configurations of points from symmetric pairwise proximities, i.e., the edge weights of an undirected graph. In some applications, however, proximity is asymmetric, e.g., nearest neighbour graphs are directed. In such cases, one might symmetrize the proximity matrix and apply traditional MDS to the symmetrized proximities. Instead, we describe embedding techniques that constructs representation of directed proximity data.
