dire-evoc: Open-Source Layout & Clustering

leland_mcinnes · x · 2026-07-11

dire-evoc is an open-source Python package that bridges **DiRe-RAPIDS** and **EVoC**. It integrates several steps into a single workflow: - First, it generates a layout on the GPU. - Next, it performs density-based clustering. - It estimates the intrinsic dimensionality of the data. - Finally, it can predict labels for new data. The author emphasizes its bridging value: DiRe can uncover hidden structures in high-dimensional data that raw clustering methods often miss, while EVoC uses this layout to find cleaner clusters. Notably, the intrinsic dimensionality estimation reuses DiRe's neighbor graph, avoiding a second kNN search.
