Checking out dimensionality reduction with t-SNE – Hannah Yan Han – Medium

You can read all about fashionMNIST here which is set out to be MNIST scaled up in complexity. While MNIST contains handwritten digits from 0 to 9, fashionMNIST contains 10 different kinds of attires from t-shirts to dresses to trousers. I ran t-SNE on the entire original MNIST training set, which is rather well-separated, and compared it with fashionMNIST. And observed some overlapping in fashionMNIST. We can further rotate it in plotly and remove the clearly separately classes to identify the overlapping classes: t-shirt, shirt and coat.
