A simpler example is projecting a matrix containing a set of class features into a 2-d Cartesian space for [...]

When pre-computing a similarity matrix, there there is a large cost in both time and memory for computing pairwise similarity between every sample, O(N^2). There are two main ways to slightly reduce the cost of either one of these demands…
