What it is

A nonlinear dimensionality-reduction technique that maps high-dimensional data into two or three dimensions while preserving neighborhood structure, developed by Laurens van der Maaten and Geoffrey Hinton.

What it led to

  • standard tool for visualizing machine-learning and single-cell genomics data
  • influence on later techniques such as UMAP
  • widespread use in interpreting deep neural network models
