Abstract

En 中文

Multi-view clustering has become a research hotspot in recent decades because of its effectiveness in heterogeneous data fusion. Although a large number of related studies have been developed one after another, most of them usually only concern with the characteristics of the data themselves and overlook the inherent connection among samples, hindering them from exploring structural knowledge of graph space. Moreover, many current works tend to highlight the compactness of one cluster without taking the differences between clusters into account. To track these two drawbacks, in this article, we propose a graph structure aware contrastive multi-view clustering (namely, GCMC) approach. Specifically, we incorporate the well-designed graph autoencoder with conventional multi-layer perception autoencoder to extract the structural and high-level representation of multi-view data, so that the underlying correlation of samples can be effectively squeezed for model learning. Then the contrastive learning paradigm is performed on multiple pseudo-label distributions to ensure that the positive pairs of pseudo-label representations share the complementarity across views while the divergence between negative pairs is sufficiently large. This makes each semantic cluster more discriminative, i.e., jointly satisfying intra-cluster compactness and inter-cluster exclusiveness. Through comprehensive experiments on eight widely-known datasets, we prove that the proposed approach can perform better than the state-of-the-art opponents.
