Show Notes
Leland McInnes is known for a lot of packages. There's UMAP, but also PyNNDescent and HDBScan. Recently he's also been working on tools to help visualise clusters of data and he's also cooking up something new that's related to nearest neighbor algorithms. This interview touches all of these topics.
