Ordered embeddings and intrinsic dimensionalities with information-ordered bottlenecks by Matthew Ho, Xiaosheng Zhao, Benjamin D Wandelt

“…Moreover, we introduce a novel theory for estimating global intrinsic dimensionality with IOBs and show that they recover SOTA dimensionality estimates for complex synthetic data. Furthermore, we showcase the utility of these models for exploratory analysis through applications on heterogeneous datasets, enabling computer-aided discovery of dataset complexity.…”
