Abstract
Multi-view clustering (MVC) is a mainstream task that aims to divide objects into meaningful groups from different perspectives. The quality of data representation is the key issue in MVC. A comprehensive meaningful data representation should be with the discriminant characteristics in a single view and the correlation of multiple views. Considering this, a novel framework called Dynamic Guided Metric Representation Learning for Multi-View Clustering (DGMRL-MVC) is proposed in this paper, which can cluster multi-view data in a learned latent discriminated embedding space. Specifically, in the framework, the data representation can be enhanced by multi-steps. Firstly, the class separability is enforced with Fisher Discriminant Analysis (FDA) within each single view, while the consistence among different views is enhanced based on Hilbert-Schmidt independence criteria (HSIC). Then, the 1st enhanced representation is obtained. In the second step, a dynamic routing mechanism is introduced, in which the location or direction information is added to fulfil the expression. After that, a generalized canonical correlation analysis (GCCA) model is used to get the final ultimate common discriminated representation. The learned fusion representation can substantially improve multi-view clustering performance. Experiments validated the effectiveness of the proposed method for clustering tasks.
