Scalable Multi-view Clustering via Explicit Kernel Features Maps (2402.04794v1)

Abstract: A growing awareness of multi-view learning as an important component in data science and machine learning is a consequence of the increasing prevalence of multiple views in real-world applications, especially in the context of networks. In this paper we introduce a new scalability framework for multi-view subspace clustering. An efficient optimization strategy is proposed, leveraging kernel feature maps to reduce the computational burden while maintaining good clustering performance. The scalability of the algorithm means that it can be applied to large-scale datasets, including those with millions of data points, using a standard machine, in a few minutes. We conduct extensive experiments on real-world benchmark networks of various sizes in order to evaluate the performance of our algorithm against state-of-the-art multi-view subspace clustering methods and attributed-network multi-view approaches.
