- Songs outside sufficiently dense groups remain visible as outliers rather than being forced into a cluster.
Field notes
Each song is represented by a 2,560-value embedding produced by a pretrained Discogs-EffNet model; the project groups those vectors by cosine distance and density, leaving songs outside dense groups as outliers. The interface can recolor points by artist or release year, filter by search, and open a song card with similar and different tracks. Its explanation cautions that the 3D projection is a visual aid, not a precise map of distances.
