Congratulations to lab member @GCLinderman for their new publication, demonstrating analogous paradigms for preservation of global structure in t-SNE and UMAP. Read about it here: https://t.co/5le8GK1eqd
A common misconception is that UMAP preserves global structure better than t-SNE. @hippopedoid and I showed that that this is only due to differences in default initialization.

Mine and @GCLinderman's comment to the Becht et al. 2018 (@EtienneBecht) paper has finally appeared in @NatureBiotech after over a year of editorial considerations.
There is no response from the authors, so I assume we are all in agreement :-)
