Effect of dispersion term on latent space. (a) The group means at epoch 0 (initialisation), they have been initialised using a normal distribution with variance \(10^{-6}\). (b) The group means after 100 epochs without the dispersion term, there is a high concentration of group means at the origin. (c) The group means after 100 epochs with the dispersion term. Points have been colour coded based on magnitude M.
