R packages - Feb 2010 - "tsne" package for t-SNE dimensionality reduction

I'd like to announce the availability of the "tsne" package.

It provides the T distributed Stocastic Neighbor Embedding algorithm by van
der Maaten and Hinton:

It has a few utility/convenience parameters for tweaking the algorithm and
providing feedback.  Be sure to try the example to get an idea of how it
works:

require(tsne)
?tsne

It's currently much slower than the "official" implementations by
van der
Maaten.  If you're interested in providing some tips on optimized C/Fortan
code, let me know.


Best,
