Cross-View Fusion for Multi-View Clustering

Multi-view clustering has attracted significant attention in recent years because it can leverage the consistent and complementary information of multiple views to improve clustering performance. However, effectively fuse the information and balance the consistent and complementary information of multiple views are common challenges faced by multi-view clustering. Most existing multi-view fusion works focus on weighted-sum fusion and concatenating fusion, which unable to fully fuse the underlying information, and not consider balancing the consistent and complementary information of multiple views. To this end, we propose Cross-view Fusion for Multi-view Clustering (CFMVC). Specifically, CFMVC combines deep neural network and graph convolutional network for cross-view information fusion, which fully fuses feature information and structural information of multiple views. In order to balance the consistent and complementary information of multiple views, CFMVC enhances the correlation among the same samples to maximize the consistent information while simultaneously reinforcing the independence among different samples to maximize the complementary information. Experimental results on several multi-view datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of CFMVC for multi-view clustering task.
