New guidelines for using t-SNE, and evaluation of prior guidelines. And ✨NEW✨: Auto t-SNE, a neural network system to automatically find good perplexity, learning rate, and exaggeration! 📈. Paper: Blog: (1/9).

We will present this work on April 11 at Visualization Meets AI, part of @PacificVis. It will appear in a special issue of the Journal of Visual Informatics.(9/9).

In summary:.* Use OpenTSNE.* If not using OpenTSNE, use perplexity=16, learning rate=10, exaggeration=1.* Learning rate = n/12 is also good.* Keep perplexity in 2-16, learning rate in 10-640, and exaggeration in 1-8. Our paper has lots more detail! (8/9).

However, we failed to replicate the recommendation to use perplexity = n/100. This does not appear to generalize from large omics data to smaller tabular data 📉.(7/9).

Our work also replicates some prior research by @Anna_C_Belkina et al. (2019) and @hippopedoid & @CellTypist (2019):.📈 Learning rate = n/12 is good practice and generalizes from large omics data to smaller tabular data. (6/9).

Importantly, we find room for future work: an "oracle" that always picks the best combo from a grid of t-SNE parameters outperforms the other methods. This leaves room to improve t-SNE guidelines. (5/9).

We evaluate our neural network, our empirical parameter combo, and the OpenTSNE defaults. They all perform comparably and better than both the sklearn defaults and a mix of other guidelines. Note: our neural network is unoptimized, so better performance is possible. (4/9)

We also developed Auto t-SNE to automatically find good t-SNE parameters! It uses a neural network to predict t-SNE accuracy given a data set and parameter combo. Picking the best parameters takes ~1s, way faster than a brute force approach! Similar to work by @OhHyunKwon.(3/9)
