Abstract

Distill articles are interactive publications and do not include traditional abstracts. This summary was written for the ML Anthology. Demonstrates through interactive examples how t-SNE visualizations can be misinterpreted, showing that cluster sizes and distances between clusters can be misleading. Provides practical guidance on hyperparameter selection for more reliable dimensionality reduction.
