VG-TIE: An interpretable tabular-to-image encoding method based on visibility graphs
Tabular-to-image encoding methods enable the application of models based on both convolutional neural networks and vision transformers to tabular data, transforming feature vectors into images. Existing methods employ linear and nonlinear dimensionality reduction techniques (e.g., Principal Component Analysis (PCA), t-SNE, and UMAP) to determine pixel positions, resulting in images whose spatial layout do not inherently reflect feature relationships. This paper introduces Visibility Graphs for Tabular-to-Image Encoding (VG-TIE), a novel method that encodes the structure of feature values using
