Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection
Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) is a dimensionality reduction technique used to visualize and analyze high-dimensional data by preserving the underlying data structure in a lower-dimensional space. Current research focuses on improving UMAP's speed and accuracy, including developing approximate versions for real-time applications and integrating it with other methods like correlated clustering and projection for enhanced performance in analyzing diverse data types such as biomedical images, brain signals, and network traffic. This technique's ability to reveal hidden patterns and outliers in complex datasets has significant implications for various fields, including healthcare, neuroscience, and cybersecurity, facilitating improved data analysis and anomaly detection.
