Multiview clustering aims to improve clustering performance by exploring multiple representations of data and has become an important research direction. Meanwhile, graph-based methods have been extensively studied and have shown promising performance in multiview clustering tasks. However, most existing graph-based multiview clustering methods rely on assigning appropriate weights to each view based on its importance, with the clustering results depending on these weight assignments. In this paper, we propose an a novel multiview spectral clustering framework with reduced computational complexity that captures complementary information across views by optimizing a global-view graph using adaptive weight learning. Additionally, in our method, once the Global-view Graph is obtained, cluster labels can be directly assigned to each data point without the need for any post-processing, such as the K-means required in standard spectral clustering. Our method not only improves clustering performance but also reduces computational resource consumption. Experimental results on real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
多视图聚类旨在通过探索数据的多种表示来提高聚类性能,已成为一个重要的研究方向。同时,基于图的方法已得到广泛研究,并在多视图聚类任务中表现出良好的性能。然而,大多数现有的基于图的多视图聚类方法依赖于根据每个视图的重要性为其分配适当的权重,聚类结果取决于这些权重分配。在本文中,我们提出了一种计算复杂度降低的新型多视图谱聚类框架,该框架通过使用自适应权重学习优化全局视图图来捕获跨视图的互补信息。此外,在我们的方法中,一旦获得全局视图图,就可以直接为每个数据点分配聚类标签,而无需任何后处理,例如标准谱聚类中所需的K均值算法。我们的方法不仅提高了聚类性能,还减少了计算资源消耗。在真实世界数据集上的实验结果证明了我们方法的有效性。
