Multi-View Clustering Based on Deep Non-negative Tensor Factorization

摘要

Multi-view clustering (MVC) methods based on non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) have gained popularity owing to their ability to provide interpretable clustering results. However, these NMF-based MVC methods generally process each view independently and thus ignore the potential relationship between views. Besides, they are limited in the ability to capture nonlinear data structures. To overcome these weaknesses and inspired by deep learning, we propose a multi-view clustering method based on deep non-negative tensor factorization (MVC-DNTF). With deep tensor factorization, our method can well exploit the spatial structure of the original data and is capable of extracting more deep and nonlinear features embedded in different views. To further extract the complementary information of different views, we adopt the weighted tensor Schatten p-norm regularization term. An optimization algorithm is developed to effectively solve the MVC-DNTF objective. Extensive experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our method.
