Rotates the embeddings in x so that they can be compared with those in y.
Usage
align_embeddings(x, y, matching = NULL)
Arguments
- x
an embeddings object
- y
an embeddings object. If matching = NULL, y must contain at least
a few rownames matching those of x.
- matching
(optional) a named character vector specifying a one-to-one
matching between rownames of x (names) and rownames of y (values)
Details
Computes orthogonal Procrustes as described by Schönemann (1966). This
computation is based only on rows with names that appear in both x and y
(or on rows specified by matching), but the output includes all rows of x.
Value
An embeddings object with the same rownames and number of rows as x, rotated
(and with reduced or increased dimensionality, if need be) to align with y.
