leland_mcinnes · x · 2026-11-15
UMAP 0.6, the dimensionality-reduction technique that visualizes text and images as maps by compressing features into 2D/3D with similar items placed close together, has shipped with notable improvements: a benchmark processing 3 million arXiv papers in under 5 minutes, roughly 4x faster nearest-neighbor search, and new optimization methods. Developed by the umap-learn team.
