Description

Hi,

I am learning about visualizing multi dimensional data, So i found UMAP and t-SNE but by any chance can we also get the feature importance of the output.

By feature importance i mean that which variables are contributing most to the UMAP output, I know my question might be incorrect but i was curious and still learning.

Thanks,
Kunal
