@dogmeat I just came across a nice way of doing this today, if you're interested:

MDS

Gallery examples: Comparison of Manifold Learning methods Manifold Learning methods on a severed sphere Manifold learning on handwritten digits: Locally Linear Embedding, Isomap… Multi-dimensional ...

scikit-learn.org

You can use the MDS class in scikit-learn to generate a 2-dimensional representation of the similarity data in which the distances respect the distances in the original 60-dimensional space. Should have a similar result to your current push-pull method.

Then you can feed the result into a Matplotlib scatter plot:

matplotlib.pyplot.scatter — Matplotlib 3.9.2 documentation

matplotlib.org

There's a parameter that allows you to colour the points in the scatter plot according to an array of integers; you can use the output of the k-means clustering here and it will give each pot a different colour.

You can also add nation labels to the points in the plot using Matplotlib's annotate() function:

matplotlib.pyplot.annotate — Matplotlib 3.9.2 documentation

matplotlib.org

This ... is real

Tomorrow, I'll teach the code
