Manifold learning techniques, such as Locally linear embedding (LLE), aim to preserve local neighborhood structures of high-dimensional data during dimensionality reduction.
Adaptive locally linear embedding (ALLE) is introduced as a novel approach to address the limitations of traditional LLE by incorporating a dynamic, data-driven metric for enhanced topological preservation.
ALLE redefines the concept of proximity by focusing on topological neighborhood inclusion rather than fixed distances, resulting in superior neighborhood preservation and accurate embeddings.
Experimental results demonstrate that ALLE improves the alignment between neighborhoods in input and feature spaces, providing a robust solution for capturing intricate relationships in high-dimensional datasets.
