Symmetric Generative Methods and tSNE: A Short Survey
Rodolphe Priam · 2018
In data visualization, a family of methods is dedicated to the symmetric numerical matrices which contain the distances or similarities between high-dimensional data vectors. The method t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding and its variants lead to competitive nonlinear embeddings which are able to reveal the natural classes. For comparisons, it is surveyed the recent probabilistic and model-based alternative methods from the literature (LargeVis, Glove, Latent Space Position Model, probabilistic Correspondence Analysis, Stochastic Block Model) for nonlinear embedding via low dimensional positions.
