Abstract

Multi-view clustering aims to partition objects into potential categories by utilizing cross-view information. One of the core issues is to sufficiently leverage different views to learn a latent subspace, within which the clustering task is performed. Recently, it has been shown that representing the multi-view data by a tensor and then learning a latent self-expressive tensor is effective. However, early works mainly focus on learning essential tensor representation from multi-view data and the resulted affinity matrix is considered as a byproduct or is computed by a simple average in Euclidean space, thereby destroying the intrinsic clustering structure. To that end, here we proposed a novel multi-view clustering method to directly learn a well-structured affinity matrix driven by the clustering task on Grassmann manifold. Specifically, we firstly employed a tensor learning model to unify multiple feature spaces into a latent low-rank tensor space. Then each individual view was merged on Grassmann manifold to obtain both an integrative subspace and a consensus affinity matrix, driven by clustering task. The two parts are modeled by a unified objective function and optimized jointly to mine a decomposable affinity matrix. Extensive experiments on eight real-world datasets show that our method achieves superior performances over other popular methods.
