A Spectral Framework for Multi-Scale Nonlinear Dimensionality Reduction
- 基于谱基与交叉熵优化,实现多尺度非线性降维。
- 在保持流形连续性的同时,提升全局与局部结构的平衡表现。
- 提供频谱视角和可视化工具,便于理解嵌入机制,适合研究者使用。
降维面临两个长期挑战:一是全局与局部结构的权衡,如t-SNE和UMAP侧重局部邻域保持但可能扭曲全局流形,而Laplacian Eigenmaps虽保留全局几何却常导致局部分离不足;二是表达能力与可解释性的矛盾,许多非线性降维方法生成嵌入后缺乏与高维结构的显式关联,难以洞察嵌入过程。本文提出一种谱框架,通过谱基结合交叉熵优化,实现多尺度表示,兼顾全局与局部结构。利用线性谱分解,该框架支持从图频谱角度分析嵌入,揭示不同谱模式对结果的影响。同时引入基于符号的散点图增强,辅助视觉探索。定量评估与案例研究显示,该方法在提升流形连续性的同时,增强了对嵌入结构的可解释性分析。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Dimensionality reduction (DR) is characterized by two longstanding trade-offs. First, there is a global-local preservation tension: methods such as t-SNE and UMAP prioritize local neighborhood preservation, yet may distort global manifold structure, while methods such as Laplacian Eigenmaps preserve global geometry but often yield limited local separation. Second, there is a gap between expressiveness and analytical transparency: many nonlinear DR methods produce embeddings without an explicit connection to the underlying high-dimensional structure, limiting insight into the embedding process. In this paper, we introduce a spectral framework for nonlinear DR that addresses these challenges. Our approach embeds high-dimensional data using a spectral basis combined with cross-entropy optimization, enabling multi-scale representations that bridge global and local structure. Leveraging linear spectral decomposition, the framework further supports analysis of embeddings through a graph-frequency perspective, enabling examination of how spectral modes influence the resulting embedding. We complement this analysis with glyph-based scatterplot augmentations for visual exploration. Quantitative evaluations and case studies demonstrate that our framework improves manifold continuity while enabling deeper analysis of embedding structure through spectral mode contributions.
