can you explain how this bit of code works and what happens in each line? plt.figure(figsize=(10, 8)) plt.style.use(‘dark_background’) # plt.scatter(reduced_activations[:, 0], reduced_activations[:, 1], alpha=0.5) plt.scatter(reduced_activations[:, 0], reduced_activations[:, 1], alpha=0.25, s=12, c=class_indices, cmap=‘viridis’) plt.title(‘2D t-SNE Projection of LSTM Latent Space’) plt.xlabel(‘t-SNE Component 1’) plt.ylabel(‘t-SNE Component 2’) plt.show()

Sure, let’s go through the code step-by-step:

plt.figure(figsize=(10, 8))

1. plt.figure(figsize=(10, 8)): This line initializes a new figure for plotting. The figsize parameter sets the dimensions of the figure in inches, in this case, 10 inches wide and 8 inches tall.

plt.style.use('dark_background')

2. plt.style.use(‘dark_background’): This line sets the plotting style to ‘dark_background’, which changes the background color of the plot to dark and adjusts other plot elements (such as text and lines) to be visible against the dark background.

# plt.scatter(reduced_activations[:, 0], reduced_activations[:, 1], alpha=0.5)

3. # plt.scatter(reduced_activations[:, 0], reduced_activations[:, 1], alpha=0.5): This line is commented out, so it does not execute. It shows an alternative scatter plot with a different alpha value (transparency) of 0.5, but it is not used here.

plt.scatter(reduced_activations[:, 0], reduced_activations[:, 1], alpha=0.25, s=12, c=class_indices, cmap='viridis')

4. plt.scatter(reduced_activations[:, 0], reduced_activations[:, 1], alpha=0.25, s=12, c=class_indices, cmap=‘viridis’):
   • plt.scatter: This function creates a scatter plot.
   • reduced_activations[:, 0]: The x-coordinates of the points, taken from the first column of the reduced_activations array.
   • reduced_activations[:, 1]: The y-coordinates of the points, taken from the second column of the reduced_activations array.
   • alpha=0.25: Sets the transparency of the points to 0.25 (more transparent).
   • s=12: Sets the size of the points to 12.
   • c=class_indices: Sets the color of the points based on the class_indices array, which likely contains class labels.
   • cmap='viridis': Sets the colormap to ‘viridis’, which maps the class_indices values to colors.

plt.title('2D t-SNE Projection of LSTM Latent Space')

5. plt.title(‘2D t-SNE Projection of LSTM Latent Space’): This line sets the title of the plot to “2D t-SNE Projection of LSTM Latent Space”.

plt.xlabel('t-SNE Component 1')

6. plt.xlabel(‘t-SNE Component 1’): This line sets the label for the x-axis to “t-SNE Component 1”.

plt.ylabel('t-SNE Component 2')

7. plt.ylabel(‘t-SNE Component 2’): This line sets the label for the y-axis to “t-SNE Component 2”.

plt.show()

8. plt.show(): This line displays the plot.

In summary, this code generates a scatter plot of a 2D t-SNE projection of LSTM latent space activations, with colors representing different classes, on a dark background. The plot is customized with transparency, point size, and appropriate labels and title.
