Dimensionality Reduction Meets Network Science: Sensemaking on UMAP's kNN Graph

arXiv:2607. 08746v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While UMAP is widely used for exploring high-dimensional data, typical workflows focus on its lower-dimensional embedding, largely overlooking the rich k-nearest-neighbor (kNN) graph that UMAP constructs internally.

Scalable Varied-Density Clustering via Graph Propagation

arXiv:2508. 02989v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose a novel perspective on varied-density clustering for high-dimensional data by framing it as a label propagation process in neighborhood graphs that adapt to local density variations.

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.
