Puzzle about the speed

[bigheiniu]

Do you just implement this algorithm with the help of openMP? Have you ever make some change in the process of bhtsne?

Hi, it also involves other optimizations, but another thing that I have noticed recently is that py_bh_tsne (which I derived my code from) uses squared Euclidean distance, so the hyperparameters turned out to be not directly comparable to bhtsne lib. However I did not notice much difference between using squared or proper distance, so left squared to be the default.

Hello, would you like give a reference or short introduction about your optimizations. I'd like to imitate your improvement on Multiple maps of t-SNE, but feel a little confused in reading source code. Thanks!
