# Vector Analysis

Returns the image-embedding clustering output for the evaluation - UMAP-projected embeddings clustered by HDBSCAN, with per-cluster aggregate metrics. Useful for spotting groups of images where the model performs systematically better or worse.

This is the data the **vector analysis** panel in the app reads.

## Notes

* Cluster id `-1` is the noise/unclustered bucket (HDBSCAN convention) - images that don't fit any dense region.
* `precisionMean` and `recallMean` are averaged over all images in the cluster.
* Per-image embeddings and cluster assignments are surfaced via [Per-Image Predictions](/developer/rest-api/model-evaluations/per-image-predictions.md).
