Abstract

Ensemble clustering (EC), utilizing multiple basic partitions (BPs) to yield a robust consensus clustering, has shown promising clustering performance. Nevertheless, most current algorithms suffer from two challenging hurdles: (1) a surge of EC-based methods only focus on pair-wise sample correlation while fully ignoring the high-order correlations of diverse views. (2) they deal directly with the co-association (CA) matrices generated from BPs, which are inevitably corrupted by noise and thus degrade the clustering performance. To address these issues, we propose a novel Double High-Order Correlation Preserved Robust Multi-View Ensemble Clustering (DC-RMEC) method, which preserves the high-order inter-view correlation and the high-order correlation of original data simultaneously. Specifically, DC-RMEC constructs a hypergraph from BPs to fuse high-level complementary information from different algorithms and incorporates multiple CA-based representations into a low-rank tensor to discover the high-order relevance underlying CA matrices, such that double high-order correlation of multi-view features could be dexterously uncovered. Moreover, a marginalized denoiser is invoked to gain robust view-specific CA matrices. Furthermore, we develop a unified framework to jointly optimize the representation tensor and the result matrix. An effective iterative optimization algorithm is designed to optimize our DC-RMEC model by resorting to the alternating direction method of multipliers. Extensive experiments on seven real-world multi-view datasets have demonstrated the superiority of DC-RMEC compared with several state-of-the-art multi-view ensemble clustering methods.
