[R] How UMAP works — a detailed comparison with t-SNE
A recent blog post How Exactly UMAP Works provides a different perspective on explaining the UMAP dimensionality reduction, providing a more direct comparison with t-SNE in terms of computational approach. While the post is unfairly dismissive of t-SNE, readers here may gain some insight from this different presentation and detailed comparisons of how and why UMAP and t-SNE differ in various aspects on different tasks.
