outline • Multidimensional Scaling (MDS); • The need for a common quality measure for data visualisation; • Local continuity meta-criterion (LCMC); • Definition of neighbourhood relation preservation (NRP); • Illustration of LCMC and NRP on mappings of data sets created by different methods;
Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) A group of information visualisation methods that projects data points from high dimensional data space to low, typically two dimensional, latent space in which the structure of the original data set can be identified by eye. For example…
Samples of high dimensional data (each image is 28*28=784 dimensions) 2 dimensional projection By LeftSammon, using graph distances, k=20
Various methods • The classical MDS, the stress function to be minimised is defined to be • SammonMapping (1969) • Each method has its own criterion
Various methods Instead of we use base function to create LeftSammon mapping My insight: 1. The above can be performed very efficiently. 2. The higher order Taylor series terms are better for analysis.
Various methods • Each method has its own criterion.

SammonvsLeftSammon mapping by Sammon's mapping by LeftSammon mapping • Assessing mapping quality by eye is usually difficult
Local continuity meta-criterion (LCMC) Problem: loose constraints
Rank based quality measures • Rank is discrete; distance is continuous • Traditional rank is used in trustworthiness and continuity (T&C ) • p is mapped perfectly since rank of p does not change • Problem 1: change of intermediate points is not considered
Rank based quality measures Problem 2: angle constraint is not considered
Neighbourhood relation preservation (NRP) • Given and the difference in angle piq in data space and output space is less than ), we say that a neighbourhood relation of p over q with respect to i, , is preserved. We denote this as )=1; otherwise )=0; • Φ(i,k)=, t=1.3 • NRP(k)=1/N

Conclusions • Multidimensional Scaling (MDS); • List of objective function of some MDS methods; • The need for a common quality measure for data visualisation; • Local continuity meta-criterion (LCMC); • Definition of Neighbourhood relation preservation (NRP); • Comparison of LCMC and NRP on mappings of data sets created by different methods; Thank you!
