Manifold learning on handwritten digits: Locally Linear Embedding, Isomap...ΒΆ

An illustration of various embeddings on the digits dataset.

The RandomTreesEmbedding, from the sklearn.ensemble module, is not technically a manifold embedding method, as it learn a high-dimensional representation on which we apply a dimensionality reduction method. However, it is often useful to cast a dataset into a representation in which the classes are linearly-separable.

t-SNE will be initialized with the embedding that is generated by PCA in this example, which is not the default setting. It ensures global stability of the embedding, i.e., the embedding does not depend on random initialization.
