Enhanced Latent Multi-view Subspace Clustering

원문 초록

Latent multi-view subspace clustering has been demonstrated to have desirable clustering performance. However, the original latent representation method vertically concatenates the data matrices from multiple views into a single matrix along the direction of dimensionality to recover the latent representation matrix, which may result in an incomplete information recovery. To fully recover the latent space representation, we in this paper propose an Enhanced Latent Multi-view Subspace Clustering (ELMSC) method. The ELMSC method involves constructing an augmented data matrix that enhances the representation of multi-view data. Specifically, we stack the data matrices from various views into the block-diagonal locations of the augmented matrix to exploit the complementary information. Meanwhile, the non-block-diagonal entries are composed based on the similarity between different views to capture the consistent information. In addition, we enforce a sparse regularization for the non-diagonal blocks of the augmented self-representation matrix to avoid redundant calculations of consistency information. Finally, a novel iterative algorithm based on the framework of Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) is developed to solve the optimization problem for ELMSC. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that our proposed ELMSC is able to achieve higher clustering performance than some state-of-art multi-view clustering methods.
