Prompt for Friday, April 28. Mulit-dimensional Scaling.
We're going to look at a specific form of 2D projection,
multi-dimensional scaling
.
Inspiration: A
Font layout tool from IDEO
, and a
description of how they made it
.
The IDEO example uses
t-SNE
, which is similar. (Demo can take a while to load.)
An interview with
Nadieh Bremer
, author of
Olympic Feathers
.
How do we show high-dimensional data in 2D?
Do we always get the same result?
Can we interpret what the algorithm is finding?
What do we gain from this view? What do we lose?
