Dimensionality reduction techniques, such as PCA, UMAP,\u0000and t-SNE, address this challenge by projecting the data into a\u0000lower-dimensional space while preserving important relationships. TopoMap is\u0000another technique that excels at preserving the underlying structure of the\u0000data, leading to interpretable visualizations. In particular, TopoMap maps the\u0000high-dimensional data into a visual space, guaranteeing that the 0-dimensional\u0000persistence diagram of the Rips filtration of the visual space matches the one\u0000from the high-dimensional data. However, the original TopoMap algorithm can be\u0000slow and its layout can be too sparse for large and complex datasets. In this\u0000paper, we propose three improvements to TopoMap: 1) a more space-efficient\u0000layout, 2) a significantly faster implementation, and 3) a novel TreeMap-based\u0000representation that makes use of the topological hierarchy to aid the\u0000exploration of the projections.
