Abstract

Nonlinear dimensionality reduction (DR) techniques offer the possibility to visually inspect a given finite high-dimensional data set in two dimensions. In this contribution, we address the problem to visualize a trained classifier on top of these projections. We investigate the suitability of popular DR techniques for this purpose and we point out the benefit of integrating auxiliary information as provided by the classifier into the pipeline based on the Fisher information.
