Fast Fourier Transform-accelerated Interpolation-based t-SNE (FIt-SNE)
Fixed bugs that prevented v1.2.0 from compiling on Windows.
Several changes to default FIt-SNE settings to make it more suitable for embedding large datasets. See this recent paper by Dmitry Kobak and Philipp Berens for more details.
Major changes to default values: -Learning rate increased from the fixed value of 200 to max(200, N/early_exag_coeff). -Iteration number decreased from 1000 to 750. -Initialization is set to PCA (computed via fast SVD implementations like ARPACK).
Minor changes: -Late exaggeration start is set to the end of early exaggeration (if late exaggeration coefficient is provided). -Limiting max step size to 5 (solves problem encountered when learning rate set too high and attractive forces cause a small number of points to overshoot)
First stable release (i.e. future changes will be integrated into releases and the versioning will follow the semantic versioning guidelines).
Also, including a binary for Windows users. Mac/Linux can compile with a single command, as described in the README.
