Compressive Embedding and Visualization using Graphs
Visualizing high-dimensional data has been a focus in data analysis
communities for decades, which has led to the design of many algorithms, some
of which are now considered references (such as t-SNE for example). In our era
of overwhelming data volumes, the scalability of such methods have become more
and more important. In this work, we present a method which allows to apply any
visualization or embedding algorithm on very large datasets by considering only
a fraction of the data as input and then extending the information to all data
points using a graph encoding its global similarity. We show that in most
cases, using only samples is sufficient to diffuse the
information to all data points. In addition, we propose quantitative
methods to measure the quality of embeddings and demonstrate the validity of
our technique on both synthetic and real-world datasets
