Dual Consensus Anchor Learning for Fast Multi-View Clustering.

Multi-view clustering usually attempts to improve the final performance by integrating graph structure information from different views and methods based on anchor are presented to reduce the computation cost for datasets with large scales. Despite significant progress, these methods pay few attentions to ensuring that the cluster structure correspondence between anchor graph and partition is built on multi-view datasets. Besides, they ignore to discover the anchor graph depicting the shared cluster assignment across views under the orthogonal constraint on actual bases in factorization. In this paper, we propose a novel Dual consensus Anchor Learning for Fast multi-view clustering (DALF) method, where the cluster structure correspondence between anchor graph and partition is guaranteed on multi-view datasets with large scales. It jointly learns anchors, constructs anchor graph and performs partition under a unified framework with the rank constraint imposed on the built Laplacian graph and the orthogonal constraint on the centroid representation. DALF simultaneously focuses on the cluster structure in the anchor graph and partition. The final cluster structure is simultaneously shown in the anchor graph and partition. We introduce the orthogonal constraint on the centroid representation in anchor graph factorization and the cluster assignment is directly constructed, where the cluster structure is shown in the partition. We present an iterative algorithm for solving the formulated problem. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of DALF on different multi-view datasets compared with other methods.
