- jszymborski 3y agoThere's some work[0] that argues that UMAP's performance relative to t-SNE is not that great when you control for the initialization. I'm not sure where I sit on that, but regardless, my understanding is that getting UMAP to separate MNIST doesnt really require you to turn knobs.
