It converts a dendrogram to a two-dimensional scatter plot, and\nvisualizes the inherent structures of the original high-dimensional data. Since\nthe conversion part is not computationally demanding, the BE algorithm would be\nbeneficial for the case where hierarchical clustering is already performed.\nNumerical experiments revealed that the outputs of the algorithm moderately\npreserve the original hierarchical structures.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1805.02161v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1805.02161v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"branching-embedding-a-heuristic","repo_url":"https://github.com/okumakito/branch-embed","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"clustering","task_name":"Clustering"},{"task_slug":"dimensionality-reduction","task_name":"Dimensionality Reduction"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
