Visualization of High-Dimensional Data by Pairwise Fusion Matrices Using t-SNE

Abstract

We applied t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) to visualize Urdu handwritten numerals (or digits). The data set used consists of 28 × 28 images of handwritten Urdu numerals. The data set was created by inviting authors from different categories of native Urdu speakers. One of the challenging and critical issues for the correct visualization of Urdu numerals is shape similarity between some of the digits. This issue was resolved using t-SNE, by exploiting local and global structures of the large data set at different scales. The global structure consists of geometrical features and local structure is the pixel-based information for each class of Urdu digits. We introduce a novel approach that allows the fusion of these two independent spaces using Euclidean pairwise distances in a highly organized and principled way. The fusion matrix embedded with t-SNE helps to locate each data point in a two (or three-) dimensional map in a very different way. Furthermore, our proposed approach focuses on preserving the local structure of the high-dimensional data while mapping to a low-dimensional plane. The visualizations produced by t-SNE outperformed other classical techniques like principal component analysis (PCA) and auto-encoders (AE) on our handwritten Urdu numeral dataset.

Recognition of Urdu Handwritten Characters Using Convolutional Neural Network

“…As mentioned earlier, the dataset was not from a single writer; therefore, there was very less chance of overfitting the classification model. It is pertinent to mention that the numeral part of this dataset was also used successfully for visualization in our work [59]. The ground truth and information about the authors of our proposed dataset, e.g., age, gender, hand preference while writing (left hand/right hand or both), physical impairment (if any), and profession, were also recorded in a suitable XML-based repository.…”

CircIMPACT: An R Package to Explore Circular RNA Impact on Gene Expression and Pathways

“…The CircIMPACT tool is developed based on R [ 39 ] (R version 3.6.3 or later are recommended), which also depends on several R packages (knitr [ 40 ], rmarkdown [ 41 ], data.table [ 42 ], dplyr [ 43 ], tydyverse [ 44 ], Rtsne [ 45 ], kableExtra [ 46 ], sparkline, magrittr [ 47 ], caret [ 48 ]). Additional R packages (ggplot2 [ 49 ], ComplexHeatmap [ 49 , 50 ], circlize [ 51 ]) were used to produce the figures in this paper.…”

Fast Identification of Soybean Seed Varieties Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy Combined With Convolutional Neural Network

“…T-SNE was used to visualize the clustering process of the extracted features from the deep learning model. It could realize the nonlinear dimension reduction of high-dimensional spectra data (Husnain et al, 2019). In t-SNE, the Gaussian distribution's perplexity was defined as 30, and the initial dimensions of PCA were defined as 12 for layers of Max pooling and RES Block4.…”
