Constrained Bilinear Factorization Multi-view Subspace Clustering
share
Multi-view clustering is an important and fundamental problem. Many multi-view subspace clustering methods have been proposed and achieved success in real-world applications, most of which assume that all views share a same coefficient matrix. However, the underlying information of multiview data are not exploited effectively under this assumption, since the coefficient matrices of different views should have the same clustering properties rather than be the same among multiple views. To this end, a novel Constrained Bilinear Factorization Multi-view Subspace Clustering (CBF-MSC) method is proposed in this paper. Specifically, the bilinear factorization with an orthonormality constraint and a low-rank constraint is employed for all coefficient matrices to make all coefficient matrices have the same trace-norm instead of being equivalent, so as to explore the consensus information of multi-view data more effectively. Finally, an algorithm based on the Augmented Lagrangian Multiplier (ALM) scheme with alternating direction minimization is designed to optimize the objective function. Comprehensive experiments tested on six benchmark datasets validate the effectiveness and competitiveness of the proposed approach compared with several state-of-the-art approaches.
