Differentiable sorting and rank normalization are incompatible, with specific conditions for admissibility.

problem Incompatibility between differentiable sorting and rank normalization.
method Formalized admissibility through monotone invariance, batch independence, and rank-space stability conditions.
result Different gap-sensitive and batchwise relaxations of rank normalization violate the conditions for admissibility.

A simple continuous relaxation for argsort improves performance and is easy to implement.

problem Discrete nature of argsort operator makes it unsuitable for gradient-based learning.
method Proposed a continuous relaxation for argsort operator that is simple, fast, and achieves state-of-the-art performance.
result The proposed relaxation achieves state-of-the-art performance and is faster than competing approaches.
