    Corrections:
    6:17 I should have said that the blue points have twice the density of the purple points.
    7:08 There should be a 0.05 in the denominator, not a 0.5.

    I'm writing this comment while having watched only half way into this video, which is pretty unusual for me!
    It is so clearly explained! I once glanced at the t-SNE paper and didn't understand it. If this is what it does then this is how things like this should be explained!
    Really, we need people explaining science like this! It's possible to read scientific papers, but what they fail to do is properly communicate the core idea to the reader so that the reader quickly grasps the big picture and the intent of the mathematical details without getting lost in the details.
    Frequently, even a missing definition can make reading papers much harder for non experts.

    I regret I can't put 1000 likes! I read about 20 articles about t-SNE, they are similar to one another, almost identical - and they don't get me closer to the point. But your video - I watched it 4 times (because the topic is hard, at least for me) with making some and drawing - but finally I understand how it works, up to the point that I can explain it to someone else. So many thanks to you!

    Great video - thank you! One small insertion that I think would improve it: at ~2:07, right after showing what projecting on to the X or Y axis would look like, show one more example of projecting onto an arbitrary line to try to retain as much variance as possible (basically PCA). I think this could be done in 15-20 seconds, and would be helpful in comparing t-SNE to one of its most popular alternatives, which is helpful in deciding *when* to use an algorithm - one of the hardest things for beginners like myself.

    Notes for my future revision.
    STEP 1)
    CREATE SIMILARITY MATRIX
    For each data point, get a Similarity Score vs every other data point
    -> Similarity Matrix.
    Similarity Score
    = Distances between points converted/related to Probabilities
    -> pdf of points on pdf curve
    = Unscaled Similarities
    -> Scaled Similarities
    = Similarities of data are normalised regardless of spread (variation)
    STEP 2)
    CREATE NEW "PICTURES" ON A NEW (REDUCED) DIMENSION
    For each and all data points, position data against other such that the new similarities scores (i.e. the probability score) follow the original similarities score.
    Objective: Find the new values for each data points (in the new dimensions) such that the difference between the resulting new probability distribution and the original probability distribution is minimised.
    The origin original distribution is (assumed?) Normal. But the new probability distribution is based on t-distribution, so that the new distances between the data (in the new dimensions) is exaggerated at the edges -> the new distribution spread the data clusters wider. This helps to show the distinct groups of data.

    t-SNE in concept is a little dense to me so I am watching this video multiple times to think about the nitty gritty of it… I have three perhaps very naive questions so far: 1) with really high dimensional feature space for some data, how do t-SNE algorithms decide how many dimensions to use for the simplified data? In PCA it can be specified by inspecting the variance of data in each of the components to decide that new feature’s “contribution” in grouping/separating the datapoints, is there a similar measure that is used to decide how many dimensions are used in t-SNE? 2) Why is it only used as a visualization technique and not a true dimension-reduction method for data pre-processing in machine learning pipelines? 3) is it possible that the data do not converge in low dimensional space (i.e., you just could not move the second matrix so that it is similar enough to the first one)?
    I dug out the original 2008 paper from SkLearn citation and as usual was amazed by how you explained the fairly abstract idea in section 2 of the paper in a mere 20-minute long unhurried video, down to the analogy of the repelling and attraction of mapped data in the low dimensional space (the original paper interpreted the gradient decent method used to locate the low dimensional mapping of points as “springs between every point and all other points”) - no important detail is lost in your video yet they are organized in such a way that they follow a clear logic and do not overwhelm. That is mastery of the art of elucidation ❤
    Thanks as always for digesting these complicated items for the benefit of the students and present them in simplified yet informative ways, as always!

      Thank you very much! For t-SNE, I'm pretty sure it's always used to generate a 2 (or at most 3) dimensional graph that can be visualized. This is because, unlike PCA, where the axes (or PCs) actually represent something (the directions of the most variance), the axes in t-SNE are completely arbitrary. So there's no way to quantify or rank the axes in order of importance. And it is probably possible to have the low dimensional graph fail to converge. That said, if you'd like more details on t-SNE, check out my videos on UMAP - a related technique that is a little more popular: ruclips.net/video/eN0wFzBA4Sc/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/jth4kEvJ3P8/видео.html

    1. In Flow Cytometry we use median for almost all data analysis because it best describes the central tendency of the data. Is geo mean anyway better describe Flow Cytometry data or geomean is better for some types of Flow Cytometry experiments?
    2. What are the drawbacks of downsampling? If there are any way to identify when to avoid downsampling?
    3. What is the batch effect? How to identify and remove it? What is the basic principle of identification? What are the strategies to avoid begin with?

    Thank you a lot for the video Josh.
    Let me point something out, and by minute 10:40, it looks like that t-sne perform a sort of the matrix, instead of minimizing the loss function by gradient descent.

    • @statquest
      @statquest  4 года назад +1

      Good point. I represented it as a matrix because, internally, all of the similarity scores are maintained that way.

    One sincere request .... Can you please make one consolidate video ( could be long video ) which one or two examples of each machine learning concepts you have explained in your channel, also comparing why we are using that particular concept to solve the issue.. what would be issues with other algorithms...
    Comparison video will surely help to further enhance understanding....

    thanks for your great explaination. I just wonder from 5:00 - 5:45, Why when you plot the distance on the normal curve the red and the orange is on different sides of normal curve. I thought distance didn't have direction. Can you please explain more detail about this different direction of the red and orange?

    • @statquest
      @statquest  7 месяцев назад

      The normal curve is symmetrical, so we can puts the dots on either side. In this case, I used both sides so that not all the dots would overlap.

      @@statquest yeah, i understood. Because we take p as similarities values so right or left is the same. Thanks a lot. Your videos help me a lot in my machine learning studying.

    Great video. Just if you could explain a bit who the shape of normal curve has been determined would be wonderful! I'm a bit confused there at 4:41.

    • @statquest
      @statquest  6 лет назад

      The mean of the normal curve is 0, the distance from the point we are calculating similarities to and itself. The standard deviation is a function of the density of the points around it and, I believe, the perplexity fudge factor. I can't remember the formula off the top of my head, but the higher the density of point, the smaller the standard deviation, and the lower the density of points, the higher the standard deviation.

    Hi @StatQuest with Josh Starmer, great video!
    The thing I am missing is what is happening in each of this steps to move each point. What are the 'attract' and 'repel' real values and how they are use to make the Similarity Matrices closer each of these steps?

    • @statquest
      @statquest  5 лет назад +1

      This is a good question. The actual math is a little too messy to put in this comment, however, the idea is that the matrices are made similar using Gradient Descent, and that's where the attractions and repulsions come in. Here's a quote from the original paper (the link to the paper comes after the quote):
      Physically, the gradient [ minimized by gradient descent ] may be interpreted as the resultant force created by a set of springs between the [low dimensional point A] yi and all other [low dimensional points] yj. All springs exert a force along the direction (yi −y j). The spring between yi and y j repels or attracts the map points depending on whether the distance between the two in the map is too small or too large to represent the similarities between the two high-dimensional datapoints. The force exerted by the spring between yi and y j
      is proportional to its length, and also proportional to its stiffness, which is the mismatch (p j|i −qj|i + pi| j −qi| j) between the pairwise similarities of the data points and the map points.

    Hi Josh, quality content! This channel continuously helps me to understand the idea behind so that the dry textbook explanations actually make sense. I still have a question. When you calculate the unscaled similarity score, how do you exactly determine the width of your guassian? I get it in the example that we already know the cluster. If I only want to visualize the data without having pre-defined clusters, what happens then?

    Hi Josh, great video, many thanks! Anyway, I still don't get how do you determine the distribution properties (like standard deviation) for calculating unscaled similarity between two points. When you introduced half as dense cluster as the others, you used normal distribution with standard deviation doubled, what is quite intuitve. But you knew that this cluster is just half as dense as the others. The question is, how to know the properties of these distribution curves?

    • @statquest

      You estimate it from the data.
