We prove a consistency result for the regularized problem, ensuring that if the data are iid samples from a probability measure, then as the number of samples is increased, a subsequence of the archetype points converges to the archetype points for the limiting data distribution, almost surely.

We also show how the DDR method can be trained using a gradient-based optimization method, where the gradients are computed using the adjoint method from optimal control theory.

With probability one with respect to the choice of points $\{x_i\}_{i \in \mathbb{N}}$, we show that as $n \to \infty$ the discrete Dirichlet energies for functions $G_n \to \Sigma_k$ $\Gamma$-converge to (a scalar multiple of) the continuum Dirichlet energy for functions $U \to \Sigma_k$ with respect to a metric coming from the theory of optimal transport.

In this setting, a pairwise comparison dataset is typically gathered via random sampling, either \emph{with} or \emph{without} replacement.

Motivated by a geometric problem, we introduce a new non-convex graph partitioning objective where the optimality criterion is given by the sum of the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the partition components.

Our approach, based on experimental design, is to view data collection as a bi-level optimization problem where the inner problem is the ranking problem and the outer problem is to identify data which maximizes the informativeness of the ranking.
