How to read:

This plot has been produced by projecting 1200-dimensional data to 2 dimensions using an algorithm called UMAP. As a result:

• Larger distances (e.g. between clusters) don't mean anything.
• Similarly, sizes of clusters don't mean anything.
• This is one of many possible representations of the higher dimensional space, so it shouldn't be treated as an objective view of the data.
