Nope. But I think UMAP would be a dimensionality reduction step that you fed into a graph-based community extraction algorithm? In our current code experiments, we have been starting with a k-nearest-neighbor approximation algorithm to build the graph. UMAP would, at first glance, replace that.

I think there is even a louvain clustering method (really a graph-based community extraction method) built into several UMAP libraries floating around . . .
