Given a space X, one may want to know if it can be embedded into a vector space in a controlled way. Interestingly, this question is of interest in both abstract mathematics (for example, it has implications for the Novikov Conjecture) and in data science, where such embeddings are a necessary preprocessing step to traditional…
