Frequently Asked Questions
What is the UMAP in this dataset?
UMAP is a dimensional reduction technique that projects CLIP embeddings in 2D to facilitate visualization and clustering.
How many different projections are available?
Three projections with n_neighbors equal to 10, 30 and 60, offering several perspectives for analysis.
Does this dataset contain the original images?
No, it only contains the UMAP embeddings of the images, not the images themselves.
