Laplacian Eigenmaps for Dimensionality Reduction and Data Representation M. Belkin and P. Niyogi, Neural Computation, pp. 1373–1396, 2003 Outline Introduction Algorithm Experimental Results Applications Conclusions 2 Manifold A manifold is a topological space which is locally Euclidean. In general, any object which is nearly flat on small scales is a manifold. Examples of 1-D manifolds include a line, a circle, and two separate circles. 3 Embedding An embedding is a representation of a topological object, manifold, graph, field, etc. in a certain space in such a way that its connectivity or a
