ScaleMAP method preserves density and neighborhood structure in embeddings

Researchers have developed ScaleMAP, a novel method for low-dimensional embeddings that preserves both local density and neighborhood structure. Unlike previous techniques that normalize distances and lose scale information, ScaleMAP divides embedding displacements by the geometric mean of original-space local radii. This approach successfully recovers sparse structures and density variations in datasets from transcriptomics and hyperspectral imaging, outperforming existing methods like UMAP and DensMAP in preserving critical data characteristics.

    ScaleMAP: Preserving Local Density and Neighborhood Structure in Low-Dimensional Embeddings

    arXiv:2605.30597v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Nonlinear dimensionality-reduction methods such as UMAP and PaCMAP adaptively normalize local distances during graph construction, erasing neighborhood scale from the data. This distorts more than relative cluster sizes: sparse stru…
