Description

Please describe the problem that you’re facing and the enhancements that
you’d like to see. Feel free to include screenshots or code samples.

Currently, tensorboard produces different embedding projections on every run. But it would be cool to pass some seed while running tensorboard --logdir ... to make tensorboard produce the same graphs for UMAP & t-SNE on every run.

Research direction

Start from the TensorBoard entry point invoked with tensorboard --logdir ... and trace how UMAP and t-SNE projections are configured. Define how a user-provided seed should reach both projections, then verify that repeated runs produce the same embedding graphs.
