Tensorized Discrete Multi-View Spectral Clustering

Discrete spectral clustering directly obtains the discrete labels of data, but existing clustering methods assume that the real-valued indicator matrices of different views are identical, which is unreasonable in practical applications. Moreover, they do not effectively exploit the spatial structure and complementary information embedded in views. To overcome this disadvantage, we propose a tensorized discrete multi-view spectral clustering model that integrates spectral embedding and spectral rotation into a unified framework. Specifically, we leverage the weighted tensor nuclear-norm regularizer on the third-order tensor, which consists of the real-valued indicator matrices of views, to exploit the complementary information embedded in the indicator matrices of different views. Furthermore, we present an adaptively weighted scheme that takes into account the relationship between views for clustering. Finally, discrete labels are obtained by spectral rotation. Experiments show the effectiveness of our proposed method.
