In case you no longer want to choose between distance and neighbour preservation when visualising high-dimensional data, give FloDR a try.
We just released the latest version.

A plot showing that compared to pca, umap and tsne, flodr performs well both in distance kept, CPD, and neighbours kept, recall@15.

UKP Lab

@ukplab.bsky.social

At UKP Lab, we’re running a survey on how researchers use AI for ideas, literature, code, analysis and writing, how far they let AI agents work on their own, and what this means for research quality, equal opportunities and supervision.

#NLProc #AI #MachineLearning #ResearchPractice

Survey invitation from UKP Lab at TU Darmstadt titled ‘How do you use AI in your research?’ – a 15–20 minute survey for the NLP and AI research community covering topics like Agentic AI, Research quality, Equal opportunities, and Supervision. Includes a QR code and link to umfragen.tu-darmstadt.de/ai_in_research_practice, also available in Simplified Chinese.

A model benchmark is a starting point, not a buying decision. Test the tasks your team actually performs, include failure cases, and compare quality, latency, and cost together. #AI #MachineLearning #Evaluation
