A Consensus Anchor-guided Hypergraph Framework For Incomplete Multi-view Clustering

摘要

Handling large-scale incomplete multi-view data poses a significant challenge in unsupervised representation learning. While anchor-based strategies have alleviated computational burdens, they typically rely on shallow bipartite graphs restricted to pairwise relations, failing to capture complex high-order correlations among samples. Furthermore, existing methods often treat observed and missing instances indiscriminately, ignoring the distributional shifts that lead to systematic bias in consensus anchor learning. To address these limitations, we propose a novel framework tailored for scalability and robustness, termed Hypergraph-Augmented Incomplete Multi-View Clustering (HA-IMVC). Unlike traditional approaches, HA-IMVC constructs a consensus anchor-guided hypergraph that explicitly models group-wise interactions, thereby preserving structural integrity even under high missing rates. Crucially, we incorporate a dual-adaptive reweighting mechanism that calibrates importance at both the view and sample levels. This strategy adaptively penalizes severely incomplete samples to mitigate bias while harmonizing inconsistent views. Extensive experiments on diverse benchmarks demonstrate that HA-IMVC achieves superior clustering accuracy and maintains high efficiency, even in scenarios characterized by severe data incompleteness.
