## About
Highly configurable t-SNE implementation for arbitrary dimensions.
Current implementation (as of 07/2021) is based in principle on:
- https://github.com/karpathy/tsnejs
Most key functionality has been refactored/rewritten to use pre-existing
functionality provided by other thi.ng packages.
~~Furthermore, this implementation has been extended to use
https://thi.ng/geom-accel to optimize spatial lookups~~. (FIXME currently
disabled/removed again)
## Status
**ALPHA** - bleeding edge / work-in-progress
