ABSTRACT
Multi-view unsupervised feature selection (MUFS) is an efficient approach for dimensional reduction of heterogeneous data. However, existing MUFS approaches mostly assign the samples the same weight, thus the diversity of samples is not utilized efficiently. Additionally, due to the presence of various regularizations, the resulting MUFS problems are often non-convex, making it difficult to find the optimal solutions. To address this issue, a novel MUFS method named Self-paced Regularized Adaptive Multi-view Unsupervised Feature Selection (SPAMUFS) is proposed. Specifically, the proposed approach firstly trains the MUFS model with simple samples, and gradually learns complex samples by using self-paced regularizer. l2,p-norm (0
