Michael Pilosov bdbebaa7e8 compare: click to pin a point's highlight; hover temporarily overrides
Click a point in any panel to pin its id — highlight persists after the
cursor leaves, across all linked panels. Click the same pinned point (or
empty space) to unpin. Hover still shows the point under the cursor,
briefly overriding the pinned display. Canvas cursor is now crosshair to
hint at the interaction.

Dimension Reduction Lab

A Python project exploring various dimension reduction techniques using Prefect for workflow orchestration.

Overview

This project serves as an experimental sandbox for studying dimensionality reduction and embedding algorithms within a reproducible environment. The primary goal is to evaluate and compare different techniques (like UMAP, t-SNE, PaCMAP, and TriMap) while focusing on their stability characteristics, particularly in the context of changing or drifting data distributions. By leveraging Prefect's workflow management capabilities, we can systematically analyze how these algorithms perform across arbitrary datasets, track their behavior over time, and measure their sensitivity to various hyperparameters and data perturbations.

Requirements

The project uses several key dependencies (as seen in requirements.frozen.txt):

Package Management

This project uses UV (μv) as its package manager, a fast Python package installer and resolver written in Rust. The requirements.frozen.txt file was generated using UV to ensure reproducible dependencies.

To update dependencies:

uv pip compile pyproject.toml (--all-extras) -o requirements.frozen.txt

Modifying --all-extras to include either an individual optional dependency group or all of them. See the pyproject.toml file for more information.

This project uses Prefect for workflow orchestration, for it's lightweight approach to running experiments from a UI and compatibility with single-node deployments.
