| contents | Dimensionality reduction methods such as UMAP and t-SNE are central tools for visualising high-dimensional data, but their local-neighborhood objectives can preserve sampling noise while distorting global topology. We show that standard local metrics reward this noise memorisation: top-performing embeddings invent cycles and disconnected islands absent from the data. We introduce a topology-faithfulness benchmark based on noisy manifolds with known homology, tune DiRe against it, and find Pareto-optimal configurations that match or beat GPU-accelerated UMAP on classification while recovering exact first Betti numbers on stress tests. On 723K arXiv paper embeddings, DiRe preserves 3-4 times more topological structure than UMAP at comparable wall-clock. |
