It's an interesting looking plot I suppose. My guess is its the 2 largest principle components of the embedding. But none of the points are labelled? There isn't a writeup on the page or anything?

Usually PCA doesn't look quite like this so this is likely done using TSNE or UMAP, which are non parametric embeddings (they optimize a loss by modifying the embedded points directly). I can see labels if I mouseover the dots.

What do people learn from visualizations like this? What is the most important problem anyone has solved this way? Speaking as somewhat of a co-defendant.

I lets you inspect what actually constitutes a given cluster, for example it seems like the outer clusters are variations of individual words and their direct translations, rather than synonyms (the ones I saw at least).
