Double graphs regularized multi-view subspace clustering

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in multi-view subspace clustering (MSC). However, existing MSC methods fail to take full advantage of the local geometric structure in each manifold throughout the data flow, which is essential for clustering. To remedy this drawback, in this paper, a novel Double Graphs Regularized Multi-view Subspace Clustering (DGRMSC) method is proposed, which aims to harness both global and local structural information of multi-view data in a unified framework. Specifically, DGRMSC first learns a latent representation to exploit the global complementary information of multiple views. Based on the learned latent representation, we learn a self-representation to explore its global cluster structure. Further, Double Graphs Regularization (DGR) is performed on both latent representation and self-representation to take advantage of their local manifold structures simultaneously. Then, we design an iterative algorithm to solve the optimization problem effectively. Comprehensive experiments on several popular multi-view datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
