=====================================
Approximate nearest neighbors in TSNE
=====================================
This example presents how to chain KNeighborsTransformer and TSNE in a pipeline.
It also shows how to wrap the packages `nmslib` and `pynndescent` to replace
KNeighborsTransformer and perform approximate nearest neighbors. These packages
can be installed with `pip install nmslib pynndescent`.
Note: In KNeighborsTransformer we use the definition which includes each
training point as its own neighbor in the count of `n_neighbors`, and for
compatibility reasons, one extra neighbor is computed when `mode == 'distance'`.
Please note that we do the same in the proposed `nmslib` wrapper.

# We can observe that the default :class:`~sklearn.manifold.TSNE` estimator with
# its internal :class:`~sklearn.neighbors.NearestNeighbors` implementation is
# roughly equivalent to the pipeline with :class:`~sklearn.manifold.TSNE` and
# :class:`~sklearn.neighbors.KNeighborsTransformer` in terms of performance.
# This is expected because both pipelines rely internally on the same
# :class:`~sklearn.neighbors.NearestNeighbors` implementation that performs
# exacts neighbors search. The approximate `NMSlibTransformer` is already
# slightly faster than the exact search on the smallest dataset but this speed
# difference is expected to become more significant on datasets with a larger
# number of samples.
#
# Notice however that not all approximate search methods are guaranteed to
# improve the speed of the default exact search method: indeed the exact search
# implementation significantly improved since scikit-learn 1.1. Furthermore, the
# brute-force exact search method does not require building an index at `fit`
# time. So, to get an overall performance improvement in the context of the
# :class:`~sklearn.manifold.TSNE` pipeline, the gains of the approximate search
# at `transform` need to be larger than the extra time spent to build the
# approximate search index at `fit` time.
#
# Finally, the TSNE algorithm itself is also computationally intensive,
# irrespective of the nearest neighbors search. So speeding-up the nearest
# neighbors search step by a factor of 5 would not result in a speed up by a
# factor of 5 for the overall pipeline.
