Should the reproduced image be exactly the same as the one in the article?

Hi, I have reproduced using the data mentioned in the article and although both the tSNE plot and the UMAP plot show that they can separate the cell taxa correctly, the position and shape of the cell taxa are not quite the same as the picture in your article, is this normal?

Hi, it is normal if the metrics e.g. ARI, NMI are same or close since there have been several updates of the SCALE version, dependent packages and random seed, it is not likely to reproduce the exactly the same results.

OK，thank you very much!
