Description: 
        ======
        TriMap
        ======
        
        TriMap is a dimensionality reduction method that uses triplet constraints
        to form a low dimensional embedding of a set of points. The triplet constraints
        are of the form "point *i* is closer to point *j* than point *k*". The triplets are 
        sampled from the high-dimensional reprsesentation of the points and a weighting 
        scheme is used to reflect the importance of each triplet. 
        
        TriMap provides a much better global view of the data than the
        other dimensionality reduction methods such t-SNE, LargeVis, and UMAP. The global 
        structure includes relative distances of the clusters, multiple scales in 
        the data, and the existence of possible outliers. 
        
        The following implementation is in Python. 
        
        -----------------
        How to use TriMap
        -----------------
        
        TriMap enjoys a transformer API similiar to other sklearn libraries. To use 
        TriMap with the default parameters, simply do:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import trimap
            from sklearn.datasets import load_digits
        
            digits = load_digits()
        
            embedding = trimap.TRIMAP().fit_transform(digits.data)
        
        -----------------
        Parameters
        -----------------
        
        Unlike other dimensionality reduction method, TriMap only has a few parameters
        to tune:
        
         -  ``n_inliers``: Number of nearest neighbors for forming the nearest neighbor triplets (default = 10).
        
         -  ``n_outliers``: Number of outliers for forming the nearest neighbor triplets (default = 5).
        
         -  ``n_random``: Number of random triplets per point (default = 5).
        
         -  ``lr``: Learning rate (default = 1000.0).
        
         -  ``n_iters``: Number of iterations (default = 400).
         
        The other parameters include:
        
         -  ``weight_adj``: Adjust weights for extreme outliers using a log-transformation (default = True).
        
         -  ``fast_trimap``: Use only ANNOY for nearest-neighbor search (default = True).
        
         -  ``opt_method``: Optimization method {'sd' (steepest descent), 'momentum' (GD with momentum), 'dbd' (delta-bar-delta, default)}.
        
         -  ``verbose``: Print the progress report (default = True).
        
         -  ``return_seq``: Store the intermediate results and return the results in a tensor (default = False).
        
        An example of adjusting these parameters:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            import trimap
            from sklearn.datasets import load_digits
        
            digits = load_digits()
        
            embedding = trimap.TRIMAP(n_inliers=10,
                                      n_outliers=5,
                                      n_random=5).fit_transform(digits.data)
        
        The nearest-neighbor calculation is performed by default using  `ANNOY <https://github.com/spotify/annoy>`_. For more accurate results, the first 5 nearest-neighbors of each point can be calculated using ``sklearn.neighbors.NearestNeighbors`` and the results can be combined with those calculated using ANNOY. However, this may significantly increase the runtime. The ``fast_trimap (default = True)`` argument controls this property. For more accurate results, set ``fast_trimap = False``.
