The Rashomon Effect for Visualizing High-Dimensional Data

The paper introduces the Rashomon set for dimension reduction, a collection of equally good embeddings that preserve high‑dimensional structure. It proposes PCA‑informed alignment to make axes interpretable, concept‑alignment regularization to incorporate external knowledge, and a method to extract trustworthy nearest‑neighbor relationships across the Rashomon set for refined embeddings. These techniques aim to produce interpretable, robust, and goal‑aligned visualizations by leveraging multiple valid embeddings instead of a single one.

Visualizing High-Dimensional Graph Embeddings via Informed Multi-View Projections

arXiv:2606. 31119v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graphs are commonly visualized in 2D, where humans readily interpret spatial relationships, yet such layouts often distort higher-dimensional structure.
