Graphs hard to parse for color blind people

Open SeanPedersen opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Hey very cool project! I find the performance graphs really hard to understand though because of my red-green color blindness. I can imagine many others with worse color blindness having even worse issues. Is there a textual comparison table available? This would help a lot.

Another option could be to make the diagrams interactive and highlight the current selected algorithms performance in some way.

There's actually interactive graphs available here! http://ann-benchmarks.com/glove-100-angular_10_angular.html

I'm not colorblind but honestly I find it hard to parse too. Maybe we could limit it to a smaller number of algorithms

Cool looks like I made a good choice using https://github.com/nmslib/hnswlib/ for my project.

Yes maybe reduce to the top 10 and the interactive graph is awesome, even for me! I suggest linking to it more prominently in the top section of the README as I was not aware of it after spending some time looking for it.

@erikbern any plans to use interactive plotting like Altair in python. Would help with more algorithms and still all pythonic without much overhead

I'd be open to doing that. If you have time, feel free to give it a shot and submit a pull request!
