leland_mcinnes · x · 2026-11-12
UMAP author Leland McInnes released UMAP 0.6, featuring a new initialization, new optimizers, and faster nearest-neighbour search. On 3 million arXiv papers it finishes in under 5 minutes — before UMAP 0.5 has even found its nearest neighbours.
Nine years after launch, UMAP remains a go-to algorithm for dimensionality reduction, and this release is a major win for large-scale embedding analysis.
