We propose a unified view on two widely used data visualization techniques:
Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) and Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (SNE). We show
that they can both be derived from a common mathematical framework. Leveraging
this formulation, we propose to compare SOM and SNE quantitatively on two
datasets, and discuss possible avenues for future work to take advantage of
both approaches.
