Frequently asked questions

Why use t-SNE or UMAP for visualizing embeddings?

t-SNE and UMAP are techniques used to reduce the dimensionality of embeddings to 3D. Visualizing these reduced embeddings as 3D scatter plots in Plotly or Matplotlib allows you to see how similar data points cluster together within that space.

What tools can I use for 3D visualization?

The best tool depends on your needs. Open3D is great for point clouds, PyVista handles complex 3D visualizations, Plotly offers interactive 3D graphs and Matplotlib provides static plots.

How can I create interactive 3D graphics with Plotly?

Plotly is specifically designed for creating interactive 3D charts. For more static visualizations, Matplotlib remains a solid choice, while Open3D and PyVista are powerful options for handling complex 3D data structures.

What's the purpose of using 3D visualization?

3D visualization helps you understand complex datasets by allowing you to explore data in three dimensions, revealing patterns and relationships that might be missed when viewing data in 2D.
