UMAP uses a spectral embedding to initialize points and it was recently demonstrated in this paper that the choice of initialization is important to preserving global structure. The paper also demonstrates that TSNE can preserve global structure fairly well by using PCA to initialize the embeddings.

The PCA initialization is done directly on the training data (using only the first 2 principal components).

Linking #1029 and preferring use of this issue since we have made progress on sparse PCA since the original issue was opened.
