Deep Multi-View Subspace Clustering with Unified and Discriminative Learning

Deep multi-view subspace clustering has achieved promising performance compared with other multi-view clustering. However, existing deep multi-view subspace clustering only considers the global structure for all views, and they ignore the local geometric structure among each view. In addition, they cannot learn discriminative feature on different clusters of different views, i.e., inter-cluster difference. To solve these problems, in this paper, we propose a novel Deep Multi-view Subspace Clustering with Unified and Discriminative Learning (DMSC-UDL). DMSC-UDL combines global and local structures with self-expression layer. The global and local structures help each other forward and achieve small distance between samples of the same cluster. To make samples in different clusters of different views farther, DMSC-UDL uses a discriminative constraint between different views. In this way, DMSC-UDL makes the same cluster's samples have large weights, while different clusters' samples have small weights. Thus, it can learn a better shared connection matrix for multi-view clustering. Extensive experimental results reveal that the proposed multi-view clustering method is superior to several state-of-the-art multi-view clustering methods in terms of performance.
