论文摘要
多视图聚类（MVC）最佳地整合了来自不同视图的互补信息，以提高聚类性能。尽管在各种应用中证明了有希望的性能，但大多数现有方法都直接融合了多个预先指定的相似性，以学习聚类的最佳相似性矩阵，这可能会导致过度复杂的优化和密集的计算成本。在本文中，我们通过对齐方式最大化提出了晚期Fusion MVC，以解决这些问题。为此，我们首先揭示了现有K-均值聚类的理论联系以及基本分区和共识之一之间的对齐。基于此观察结果，我们提出了一种简单但有效的多视算法，称为LF-MVC-GAM。它可以从每个单独的视图中最佳地将多个源信息融合到分区级别，并最大程度地将共识分区与这些加权基础分区保持一致。这种对齐方式有利于整合分区级别信息，并通过充分简化优化过程来大大降低计算复杂性。然后，我们设计了另一个变体LF-MVC-LAM，以通过在多个分区空间之间保留局部内在结构来进一步提高聚类性能。之后，我们开发了两种三步迭代算法，以通过理论上保证的收敛来解决所得的优化问题。此外，我们提供了所提出算法的概括误差约束分析。对十八个多视图基准数据集进行了广泛的实验，证明了拟议的LF-MVC-GAM和LF-MVC-LAM的有效性和效率，范围从小到大型数据项不等。拟议算法的代码可在https://github.com/wangsiwei2010/latefusionalignment上公开获得。
Multi-view clustering (MVC) optimally integrates complementary information from different views to improve clustering performance. Although demonstrating promising performance in various applications, most of existing approaches directly fuse multiple pre-specified similarities to learn an optimal similarity matrix for clustering, which could cause over-complicated optimization and intensive computational cost. In this paper, we propose late fusion MVC via alignment maximization to address these issues. To do so, we first reveal the theoretical connection of existing k-means clustering and the alignment between base partitions and the consensus one. Based on this observation, we propose a simple but effective multi-view algorithm termed LF-MVC-GAM. It optimally fuses multiple source information in partition level from each individual view, and maximally aligns the consensus partition with these weighted base ones. Such an alignment is beneficial to integrate partition level information and significantly reduce the computational complexity by sufficiently simplifying the optimization procedure. We then design another variant, LF-MVC-LAM to further improve the clustering performance by preserving the local intrinsic structure among multiple partition spaces. After that, we develop two three-step iterative algorithms to solve the resultant optimization problems with theoretically guaranteed convergence. Further, we provide the generalization error bound analysis of the proposed algorithms. Extensive experiments on eighteen multi-view benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed LF-MVC-GAM and LF-MVC-LAM, ranging from small to large-scale data items. The codes of the proposed algorithms are publicly available at https://github.com/wangsiwei2010/latefusionalignment.
