Multiview Spectral Clustering With Bipartite Graph

Multi-view spectral clustering has become appealing due to its good performance in capturing the correlations among all views. However, on one hand, many existing methods usually require a quadratic or cubic complexity for graph construction or eigenvalue decomposition of Laplacian matrix; on the other hand, they are inefficient and unbearable burden to be applied to large scale data sets, which can be easily obtained in the era of big data. Moreover, the existing methods cannot encode the complementary information between adjacency matrices,
i.e.
, similarity graphs of views and the low-rank spatial structure of adjacency matrix of each view. To address these limitations, we develop a novel multi-view spectral clustering model. Our model well encodes the complementary information by Schatten
$p$
-norm regularization on the third tensor whose lateral slices are composed of the adjacency matrices of the corresponding views. To further improve the computational efficiency, we leverage anchor graphs of views instead of full adjacency matrices of the corresponding views, and then present a fast model that encodes the complementary information embedded in anchor graphs of views by Schatten
$p$
-norm regularization on the tensor bipartite graph. Finally, an efficient alternating algorithm is derived to optimize our model. The constructed sequence was proved to converge to the stationary KKT point. Extensive experimental results indicate that our method has good performance.
