ABSTRACT
Multi-View clustering has attracted broad attention due to its capacity to utilize consistent and complementary information among views. Although tremendous progress has been made recently, most existing methods undergo high complexity, preventing them from being applied to large-scale tasks. Multi-View clustering via matrix factorization is a representative to address this issue. However, most of them map the data matrices into a fixed dimension, limiting the model's expressiveness. Moreover, a range of methods suffers from a two-step process, i.e., multimodal learning and the subsequent k -means, inevitably causing a suboptimal clustering result. In light of this, we propose a one-step multi-view clustering with diverse representation (OMVCDR) method, which incorporates multi-view learning and k -means into a unified framework. Specifically, we first project original data matrices into various latent spaces to attain comprehensive information and auto-weight them in a self-supervised manner. Then, we directly use the information matrices under diverse dimensions to obtain consensus discrete clustering labels. The unified work of representation learning and clustering boosts the quality of the final results. Furthermore, we develop an efficient optimization algorithm with proven convergence to solve the resultant problem. Comprehensive experiments on various datasets demonstrate the promising clustering performance of our proposed method. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/wanxinhang/OMVCDR.
