Abstract

Manifold embedding for data visualisation is dominated by a small set of hand-designed state-of-the-art (SOTA) algorithms. Their design targets are fixed at development time, resulting in inflexible algorithmic behaviour that cannot be readily steered towards user-specified structural priorities. Hand-designing new embedding algorithms to address user priority requires highly specialised expertise and is time consuming. To address autonomous algorithm design tailored to user preference, we introduce an agentic algorithm generation pipeline AutoManifold. It composes new manifold embedding algorithms from a constrained vocabulary of affinity, cost, and optimisation primitives, supported by multi-agent large-language-model (LLM) orchestration. AutoManifold conditions every stage of its design on user-specified structural preservation preferences, and iteratively refines the algorithm configuration through an LLM-guided, metric-grounded iterative loop. We compare the generated algorithms against the three strongest and most frequently used SOTA methods (t-SNE, UMAP, and PaCMAP) on real-world datasets spanning different difficulty regimes under identical evaluation infrastructure. The results demonstrate that LLM-driven, priority-conditioned algorithm synthesis can move beyond hyperparameter tuning, producing genuinely new algorithms that outperform traditional hand-designed methods in their ability to steer towards user-specified properties without compromising the intrinsic structure in the original data. The code of AutoManifold is available at https://github.com/buraksusam/AutoManifold_NeurIPS2026.

What we could verify

These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
