The significance of multi-view learning in effectively mitigating the intricate intricacies entrenched within heterogeneous data has garnered substantial attention in recent years. Notwithstanding the favorable achievements showcased by recent strides in this area, a confluence of noteworthy challenges endures. To be specific, a majority of extant methodologies unceremoniously assign weights to data points view-wisely. This ineluctably disregards the intrinsic reality that disparate views confer diverse contributions to each individual sample, consequently neglecting the rich wellspring of sample-level structural insights harbored within the dataset. In this paper, we proposed an effective Augmented Lagrangian MethOd for fiNe-graineD (ALMOND) multi-view optimization. This innovative approach scrutinizes the interplay among multiple views at the granularity of individual samples, thereby fostering the enhanced preservation of local structural coherence. The Augmented Lagrangian Method (ALM) is elaborately incorporated into our framework, which enables us to achieve an optimal solution without involving an inexplicable intermediate variable as previous methods do. Empirical experiments on multi-view clustering tasks across heterogeneous datasets serve to incontrovertibly showcase the effectiveness of our proposed methodology, corroborating its preeminence over incumbent state-of-the-art alternatives.

Lifelong Multi-view Spectral Clustering

In recent years, spectral clustering has become a well-known and effective algorithm in machine learning. However, traditional spectral clustering algorithms are designed for single-view data and fixed task setting. This can become a limitation when dealing with new tasks in a sequence, as it requires accessing previously learned tasks. Hence it leads to high storage consumption, especially for multi-view datasets. In this paper, we address this limitation by introducing a lifelong multi-view clustering framework. Our approach uses view-specific knowledge libraries to capture intra-view knowledge across different tasks. Specifically, we propose two types of libraries: an orthogonal basis library that stores cluster centers in consecutive tasks, and a feature embedding library that embeds feature relations shared among correlated tasks. When a new clustering task is coming, the knowledge is iteratively transferred from libraries to encode the new task, and knowledge libraries are updated according to the online update formulation. Meanwhile, basis libraries of different views are further fused into a consensus library with adaptive weights. Experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms other competitive clustering methods on multi-view datasets by a large margin.

Graph-based methods have hitherto been used to pursue the coherent patterns of data due to its ease of implementation and efficiency. These methods have been increasingly applied in multi-view learning and achieved promising performance in various clustering tasks. However, despite their noticeable empirical success, existing graph-based multi-view clustering methods may still suffer the suboptimal solution considering that multi-view data can be very complicated in raw feature space. Moreover, existing methods usually adopt the similarity metric by an ad hoc approach, which largely simplifies the relationship among real-world data and results in an inaccurate output. To address these issues, we propose to seamlessly integrates metric learning and graph learning for multi-view clustering. Specifically, we employ a useful metric to depict the inherent structure with linearity-aware of affinity graph representation learned based on the self-expressiveness property. Furthermore, instead of directly utilizing the raw features, we prefer to recover a smooth representation such that the geometric structure of the original data can be retained. We model the above concerns into a unified learning framework, and hence complements each learning subtask in a mutual reinforcement manner. The empirical studies corroborate our theoretical findings, and demonstrate that the proposed method is able to boost the multi-view clustering performance.
