Stochastic Neighbor Embedding separates well-separated clusters

9 Feb 2017  ·  Uri Shaham, Stefan Steinerberger ·

Stochastic Neighbor Embedding and its variants are widely used dimensionality reduction techniques -- despite their popularity, no theoretical results are known. We prove that the optimal SNE embedding of well-separated clusters from high dimensions to any Euclidean space R^d manages to successfully separate the clusters in a quantitative way. The result also applies to a larger family of methods including a variant of t-SNE.
