Multiview spectral clustering via complementary information

Abstract

AbstractIn this article, multiview spectral clustering via complementary information (MSCC) is proposed, in which both the consensus information and the complementary information are explored for multiview clustering. In contrast to most multiview spectral clustering methods, the proposed MSCC considers the differences among multiple views and constructs a similarity matrix for clustering. Furthermore, a convex relaxation is employed and an algorithm that is based on the augmented Lagrange multiplier is proposed for optimizing the objective function of MSCC. In extensive experiments on five real‐world benchmark datasets, our proposed method outperforms two baselines and has significantly improved to several state‐of‐the‐art multiview clustering methods.
