WizMap

Exploring and interpreting large embeddings in your browser!

What is WizMap?

WizMap is a scalable interactive visualization tool to help you easily explore large machine learning embeddings. With a novel multi-resolution embedding summarization method and a familiar map-like interaction design, WizMap allows you to navigate and interpret embedding spaces with ease.

Web Demo

For a live web demo, visit: https://poloclub.github.io/wizmap.

Get Started

Clone or download this repository:

git clone git@github.com:poloclub/wizmap.git

Install the dependencies:

npm install

Then run WizMap:

npm run dev

Navigate to localhost:3000. You should see WizMap running in your browser :)

Use My Own Embeddings

To use WizMap with your embeddings, you first need to install the wizmap Python library.

pip install wizmap

Then take a look at this notebook for a detailed guide. If your dataset includes images, take a look at this notebook.

Spoiler alert: You'll be up and running with just two function calls from the wizmap library. These two JSON files contain pre-computed embedding summaries, distributions, and the original embedding data.

After generating the JSON files, you have two options to use WizMap.

1. Browser: You can click the folder icon on the bottom right of the WizMap demo and enter the URLs to the JSON files in the pop-up window.
2. Notebook: If you are familiar with computational notebooks (e.g., Jupyter Notebook, VSCode Notebook, Colab), you can directly use WizMap in your favorite notebook platform with wizmap.visualize().

Share My WizMap

You can easily share your embedding maps with collaborators by copying the unique URL of WizMap from your browser. For example, the URL below points to an IMDB embedding in WizMap.
