gollark: I suppose to use it for this you'd just hope that one of the high variance dimensions is also semantically meaningful.
gollark: You can use it to reduce the dimensionality of data if you just drop the last ones nobody likes, or something.
gollark: It's a statistical thing which basically rotates your multidimensional data so the first dimension explains as much of the variance as possible, the second is the highest-variance one perpendicular to that, and so on.
gollark: That was a test of "stickers". The test is now concluded.
gollark: Oh no. I fear threads.
