This paper explores methods for out-of-sample embedding using proximity data, a problem first studied by J.C. Gower in 1968. The authors survey existing kernel methods and categorize them into two main strategies: projection and restricted reconstruction. Projection is likened to adding a point to a principal component analysis, while restricted reconstruction involves a nonlinear optimization problem to approximate a multivariate analysis with a fixed vector diagram. The paper suggests that the choice between these strategies depends on specific circumstances. AI
