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.

The paper introduces a new image retrieval framework that merges neighbor embedding projections with rank-based manifold learning via rank aggregation. It uses UMAP to create low‑dimensional feature representations and combines ranked lists from UMAP and rank‑based re‑ranking methods using the Borda Count strategy. Experiments on public datasets with ResNet152, Swin Transformer, and DINOv2 features show that this combined approach improves retrieval performance, especially in scenarios where baseline representations have low precision.

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.
