We propose a supervised learning procedure to obtain an embedding to a latent concept space with the pre-defined inner product. This learning procedure uses rank minimization of the sought inner product matrix, defined in the original concept space, to find an embedding to a new low dimensional space. The em- pirical evidence show that the proposed supervised learning method can be used in combination with another computational image embedding procedure, such as bag-of-features method, to significantly improve accuracy of label inference, while producing embedding of low complexity." }
