From 2019 but a decent overview by Leland McInnes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iol3Lk6kyU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iol3Lk6kyU There's a newer thing called PacMap which is an interesting thing that handles difference cases better. Not as robustly tested as UMAP but that could be said of any new thing. I'm a little wary that it might be overfitted to common test cases. To my mind it feels like PacMap seems like a partial solution of a better way of doing it. The three stage process of PacMap is either asking to be developed into either a continuous system or finding a analytical reason/way to conduct a phase change.
