Zusammenfassung: | Multi-view clustering (MVC) is a popular technique for improving clustering
performance using various data sources. However, existing methods primarily
focus on acquiring consistent information while often neglecting the issue of
redundancy across multiple views. This study presents a new approach called
Sufficient Multi-View Clustering (SUMVC) that examines the multi-view
clustering framework from an information-theoretic standpoint. Our proposed
method consists of two parts. Firstly, we develop a simple and reliable
multi-view clustering method SCMVC (simple consistent multi-view clustering)
that employs variational analysis to generate consistent information. Secondly,
we propose a sufficient representation lower bound to enhance consistent
information and minimise unnecessary information among views. The proposed
SUMVC method offers a promising solution to the problem of multi-view
clustering and provides a new perspective for analyzing multi-view data.
To verify the effectiveness of our model, we conducted a theoretical analysis
based on the Bayes Error Rate, and experiments on multiple multi-view datasets
demonstrate the superior performance of SUMVC. |
