The paper demonstrates that the common-geodesic condition—where every output triple shares a geodesic point in a metric—does not ensure Fisher consistency for the structured SVM with the standard coordinate-wise argmax decoder. It presents minimal counterexamples, including a four-output star and a tree-metric classification, showing that only path-shaped trees maintain argmax consistency. The study also identifies the smallest full-support counterexamples and provides exact primal-dual certificates for all optimality claims.

arXiv:2601. 20844v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper studies the Minimal Embeddable Dimension (MED): the least dimension in which there exists a configuration of $m$ object vectors so that every subset of size at most $k$ is exactly retrieved by score comparison.
