Every claim below was made in this piece, quoted word for word and numbered in the order the piece makes them, so you can read it there rather than take our word for it. The sentence above each quote is our reading of the claim, not their wording. Each quote was checked against a stored copy of the page at build time; where the two differ, the quote is the fact.

  1. Our reading

    In a dimensionality-reduced visualization of high-dimensional data, the raw position of points carries no meaning on its own.

    Their wordsThe problem is that in dimensionality reduced plots of high-dimensional data, position doesn't explain the data points.

  2. Our reading

    Understanding a machine learning model and understanding the data it operates on are inseparable tasks.

    Their wordsUnderstanding data and understanding models that work on that data are intimately linked.
