Overcomplete Deep Subspace Clustering Networks

Multi-view Subspace Clustering Networks with Local and Global Graph Information

This study investigates the problem of multi-view subspace clustering, the goal of which is to explore the underlying grouping structure of data collected from different fields or measurements. Since data do not always comply with the linear subspace models in many real-world applications, most existing multi-view subspace clustering methods that based on the shallow linear subspace models may fail in practice. Furthermore, underlying graph information of multi-view data is always ignored in most existing multi-view subspace clustering methods. To address aforementioned limitations, we propose…

Deep Sparse Subspace Clustering

In this paper, we present a deep extension of Sparse Subspace Clustering, termed Deep Sparse Subspace Clustering (DSSC). Regularized by the unit sphere distribution assumption for the learned deep features, DSSC can infer a new data affinity matrix by simultaneously satisfying the sparsity principle of SSC and the nonlinearity given by neural networks. One of the appealing advantages brought by DSSC is: when original real-world data do not meet the class-specific linear subspace distribution assumption, DSSC can employ neural networks to make the assumption valid with its hierarchical nonlinea…

Groupwise Constrained Reconstruction for Subspace Clustering

Reconstruction based subspace clustering methods compute a self reconstruction matrix over the samples and use it for spectral clustering to obtain the final clustering result. Their success largely relies on the assumption that the underlying subspaces are independent, which, however, does not always hold in the applications with increasing number of subspaces. In this paper, we propose a novel reconstruction based subspace clustering model without making the subspace independence assumption. In our model, certain properties of the reconstruction matrix are explicitly characterized using the …

Spatial Sparse subspace clustering for Compressive Spectral imaging

This paper aims at developing a clustering approach with spectral images directly from CASSI compressive measurements. The proposed clustering method first assumes that compressed measurements lie in the union of multiple low-dimensional subspaces. Therefore, sparse subspace clustering (SSC) is an unsupervised method that assigns compressed measurements to their respective subspaces. In addition, a 3D spatial regularizer is added into the SSC problem, thus taking full advantages of the spatial information contained in spectral images. The performance of the proposed spectral image clustering a…

Correntropy Induced L2 Graph for Robust Subspace Clustering

In this paper, we study the robust subspace clustering problem, which aims to cluster the given possibly noisy data points into their underlying subspaces. A large pool of previous subspace clustering methods focus on the graph construction by different regularization of the representation coefficient. We instead focus on the robustness of the model to non-Gaussian noises. We propose a new robust clustering method by using the correntropy induced metric, which is robust for handling the non-Gaussian and impulsive noises. Also we further extend the method for handling the data with outlier rows…

Double Graphs Regularized Multi-view Subspace Clustering

Recent years have witnessed a growing academic interest in multi-view subspace clustering. In this paper, we propose a novel Double Graphs Regularized Multi-view Subspace Clustering (DGRMSC) method, which aims to harness both global and local structural information of multi-view data in a unified framework. Specifically, DGRMSC firstly 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 p…

Robust subspace clustering by Cauchy loss function

Subspace clustering is a problem of exploring the low-dimensional subspaces of high-dimensional data. State-of-the-arts approaches are designed by following the model of spectral clustering based method. These methods pay much attention to learn the representation matrix to construct a suitable similarity matrix and overlook the influence of the noise term on subspace clustering. However, the real data are always contaminated by the noise and the noise usually has a complicated statistical distribution. To alleviate this problem, we in this paper propose a subspace clustering method based on C…

Evolutionary Self-Expressive Models for Subspace Clustering

The problem of organizing data that evolves over time into clusters is encountered in a number of practical settings. We introduce evolutionary subspace clustering, a method whose objective is to cluster a collection of evolving data points that lie on a union of low-dimensional evolving subspaces. To learn the parsimonious representation of the data points at each time step, we propose a non-convex optimization framework that exploits the self-expressiveness property of the evolving data while taking into account representation from the preceding time step. To find an approximate solution to …

Kernel Truncated Regression Representation for Robust Subspace Clustering

Subspace clustering aims to group data points into multiple clusters of which each corresponds to one subspace. Most existing subspace clustering approaches assume that input data lie on linear subspaces. In practice, however, this assumption usually does not hold. To achieve nonlinear subspace clustering, we propose a novel method, called kernel truncated regression representation. Our method consists of the following four steps: 1) projecting the input data into a hidden space, where each data point can be linearly represented by other data points; 2) calculating the linear representation co…

Simultaneous Subspace Clustering and Cluster Number Estimating based on Triplet Relationship

In this paper we propose a unified framework to simultaneously discover the number of clusters and group the data points into them using subspace clustering. Real data distributed in a high-dimensional space can be disentangled into a union of low-dimensional subspaces, which can benefit various applications. To explore such intrinsic structure, state-of-the-art subspace clustering approaches often optimize a self-representation problem among all samples, to construct a pairwise affinity graph for spectral clustering. However, a graph with pairwise similarities lacks robustness for segmentatio…

Tensor Laplacian Regularized Low-Rank Representation for Non-uniformly Distributed Data Subspace Clustering

Low-Rank Representation (LRR) highly suffers from discarding the locality information of data points in subspace clustering, as it may not incorporate the data structure nonlinearity and the non-uniform distribution of observations over the ambient space. Thus, the information of the observational density is lost by the state-of-art LRR models, as they take a constant number of adjacent neighbors into account. This, as a result, degrades the subspace clustering accuracy in such situations. To cope with deficiency, in this paper, we propose to consider a hypergraph model to facilitate having a …

Feature Concatenation Multi-view Subspace Clustering

Multi-view clustering is a learning paradigm based on multi-view data. Since statistic properties of different views are diverse, even incompatible, few approaches implement multi-view clustering based on the concatenated features straightforward. However, feature concatenation is a natural way to combine multi-view data. To this end, this paper proposes a novel multi-view subspace clustering approach dubbed Feature Concatenation Multi-view Subspace Clustering (FCMSC), which boosts the clustering performance by exploring the consensus information of multi-view data. Specifically, multi-view da…

Constrained Bilinear Factorization Multi-view Subspace Clustering

Multi-view clustering is an important and fundamental problem. Many multi-view subspace clustering methods have been proposed, and most of them assume that all views share a same coefficient matrix. However, the underlying information of multi-view data are not fully exploited under this assumption, since the coefficient matrices of different views should have the same clustering properties rather than be uniform among multiple views. To this end, this paper proposes a novel Constrained Bilinear Factorization Multi-view Subspace Clustering (CBF-MSC) method. Specifically, the bilinear factoriza…

Graph Convolutional Subspace Clustering: A Robust Subspace Clustering Framework for Hyperspectral Image

Hyperspectral image (HSI) clustering is a challenging task due to the high complexity of HSI data. Subspace clustering has been proven to be powerful for exploiting the intrinsic relationship between data points. Despite the impressive performance in the HSI clustering, traditional subspace clustering methods often ignore the inherent structural information among data. In this paper, we revisit the subspace clustering with graph convolution and present a novel subspace clustering framework called Graph Convolutional Subspace Clustering (GCSC) for robust HSI clustering. Specifically, the framew…

Learning with $\ell^{0}$-Graph: $\ell^{0}$-Induced Sparse Subspace Clustering

Sparse subspace clustering methods, such as Sparse Subspace Clustering (SSC) \cite{ElhamifarV13} and $\ell^{1}$-graph \cite{YanW09,ChengYYFH10}, are effective in partitioning the data that lie in a union of subspaces. Most of those methods use $\ell^{1}$-norm or $\ell^{2}$-norm with thresholding to impose the sparsity of the constructed sparse similarity graph, and certain assumptions, e.g. independence or disjointness, on the subspaces are required to obtain the subspace-sparse representation, which is the key to their success. Such assumptions are not guaranteed to hold in practice and they …

Research on Clustering Performance of Sparse Subspace Clustering

Recently, sparse subspace clustering has been a valid tool to deal with high-dimensional data. There are two essential steps in the framework of sparse subspace clustering. One is solving the coefficient matrix of data, and the other is constructing the affinity matrix from the coefficient matrix, which is applied to the spectral clustering. This paper investigates the factors which affect clustering performance from both clustering accuracy and stability of the approaches based on existing algorithms. We select four methods to solve the coefficient matrix and use four different ways to constr…

Leveraging Union of Subspace Structure to Improve Constrained Clustering

Many clustering problems in computer vision and other contexts are also classification problems, where each cluster shares a meaningful label. Subspace clustering algorithms in particular are often applied to problems that fit this description, for example with face images or handwritten digits. While it is straightforward to request human input on these datasets, our goal is to reduce this input as much as possible. We present a pairwise-constrained clustering algorithm that actively selects queries based on the union-of-subspaces model. The central step of the algorithm is in querying points…

Seeking Commonness and Inconsistencies: A Jointly Smoothed Approach to Multi-view Subspace Clustering

Multi-view subspace clustering aims to discover the hidden subspace structures from multiple views for robust clustering, and has been attracting considerable attention in recent years. Despite significant progress, most of the previous multi-view subspace clustering algorithms are still faced with two limitations. First, they usually focus on the consistency (or commonness) of multiple views, yet often lack the ability to capture the cross-view inconsistencies in subspace representations. Second, many of them overlook the local structures of multiple views and cannot jointly leverage multiple…

Attentive Multi-View Deep Subspace Clustering Net

In this paper, we propose a novel Attentive Multi-View Deep Subspace Nets (AMVDSN), which deeply explores underlying consistent and view-specific information from multiple views and fuse them by considering each view's dynamic contribution obtained by attention mechanism. Unlike most multi-view subspace learning methods that they directly reconstruct data points on raw data or only consider consistency or complementarity when learning representation in deep or shallow space, our proposed method seeks to find a joint latent representation that explicitly considers both consensus and view-specif…

Deep Closed-Form Subspace Clustering

We propose Deep Closed-Form Subspace Clustering (DCFSC), a new embarrassingly simple model for subspace clustering with learning non-linear mapping. Compared with the previous deep subspace clustering (DSC) techniques, our DCFSC does not have any parameters at all for the self-expressive layer. Instead, DCFSC utilizes the implicit data-driven self-expressive layer derived from closed-form shallow auto-encoder. Moreover, DCFSC also has no complicated optimization scheme, unlike the other subspace clustering methods. With its extreme simplicity, DCFSC has significant memory-related benefits over…

Is an Affine Constraint Needed for Affine Subspace Clustering?

Subspace clustering methods based on expressing each data point as a linear combination of other data points have achieved great success in computer vision applications such as motion segmentation, face and digit clustering. In face clustering, the subspaces are linear and subspace clustering methods can be applied directly. In motion segmentation, the subspaces are affine and an additional affine constraint on the coefficients is often enforced. However, since affine subspaces can always be embedded into linear subspaces of one extra dimension, it is unclear if the affine constraint is really…

Towards Clustering-friendly Representations: Subspace Clustering via Graph Filtering

Finding a suitable data representation for a specific task has been shown to be crucial in many applications. The success of subspace clustering depends on the assumption that the data can be separated into different subspaces. However, this simple assumption does not always hold since the raw data might not be separable into subspaces. To recover the ``clustering-friendly'' representation and facilitate the subsequent clustering, we propose a graph filtering approach by which a smooth representation is achieved. Specifically, it injects graph similarity into data features by applying a low-pa…

Sparse Subspace Clustering Friendly Deep Dictionary Learning for Hyperspectral Image Classification

Subspace clustering techniques have shown promise in hyperspectral image segmentation. The fundamental assumption in subspace clustering is that the samples belonging to different clusters/segments lie in separable subspaces. What if this condition does not hold? We surmise that even if the condition does not hold in the original space, the data may be nonlinearly transformed to a space where it will be separable into subspaces. In this work, we propose a transformation based on the tenets of deep dictionary learning (DDL). In particular, we incorporate the sparse subspace clustering (SSC) los…

Toward Multidiversified Ensemble Clustering of High-Dimensional Data: From Subspaces to Metrics and Beyond

The rapid emergence of high-dimensional data in various areas has brought new challenges to current ensemble clustering research. To deal with the curse of dimensionality, recently considerable efforts in ensemble clustering have been made by means of different subspace-based techniques. However, besides the emphasis on subspaces, rather limited attention has been paid to the potential diversity in similarity/dissimilarity metrics. It remains a surprisingly open problem in ensemble clustering how to create and aggregate a large population of diversified metrics, and furthermore, how to jointly…

Multi-view Subspace Adaptive Learning via Autoencoder and Attention

Multi-view learning can cover all features of data samples more comprehensively, so multi-view learning has attracted widespread attention. Traditional subspace clustering methods, such as sparse subspace clustering (SSC) and low-ranking subspace clustering (LRSC), cluster the affinity matrix for a single view, thus ignoring the problem of fusion between views. In our article, we propose a new Multiview Subspace Adaptive Learning based on Attention and Autoencoder (MSALAA). This method combines a deep autoencoder and a method for aligning the self-representations of various views in Multi-view…

Constrained Sparse Subspace Clustering with Side-Information

Subspace clustering refers to the problem of segmenting high dimensional data drawn from a union of subspaces into the respective subspaces. In some applications, partial side-information to indicate "must-link" or "cannot-link" in clustering is available. This leads to the task of subspace clustering with side-information. However, in prior work the supervision value of the side-information for subspace clustering has not been fully exploited. To this end, in this paper, we present an enhanced approach for constrained subspace clustering with side-information, termed Constrained Sparse Subspa…

Adaptive Low-Rank Kernel Subspace Clustering

In this paper, we present a kernel subspace clustering method that can handle non-linear models. In contrast to recent kernel subspace clustering methods which use predefined kernels, we propose to learn a low-rank kernel matrix, with which mapped data in feature space are not only low-rank but also self-expressive. In this manner, the low-dimensional subspace structures of the (implicitly) mapped data are retained and manifested in the high-dimensional feature space. We evaluate the proposed method extensively on both motion segmentation and image clustering benchmarks, and obtain superior re…

Multi-Level Representation Learning for Deep Subspace Clustering

This paper proposes a novel deep subspace clustering approach which uses convolutional autoencoders to transform input images into new representations lying on a union of linear subspaces. The first contribution of our work is to insert multiple fully-connected linear layers between the encoder layers and their corresponding decoder layers to promote learning more favorable representations for subspace clustering. These connection layers facilitate the feature learning procedure by combining low-level and high-level information for generating multiple sets of self-expressive and informative re…

Achieving stable subspace clustering by post-processing generic clustering results

We propose an effective subspace selection scheme as a post-processing step to improve results obtained by sparse subspace clustering (SSC). Our method starts by the computation of stable subspaces using a novel random sampling scheme. Thus constructed preliminary subspaces are used to identify the initially incorrectly clustered data points and then to reassign them to more suitable clusters based on their goodness-of-fit to the preliminary model. To improve the robustness of the algorithm, we use a dominant nearest subspace classification scheme that controls the level of sensitivity against…

Kernel Sparse Subspace Clustering on Symmetric Positive Definite Manifolds

Sparse subspace clustering (SSC), as one of the most successful subspace clustering methods, has achieved notable clustering accuracy in computer vision tasks. However, SSC applies only to vector data in Euclidean space. As such, there is still no satisfactory approach to solve subspace clustering by ${\it self-expressive}$ principle for symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices which is very useful in computer vision. In this paper, by embedding the SPD matrices into a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS), a kernel subspace clustering method is constructed on the SPD manifold through an a…

Beyond Linear Subspace Clustering: A Comparative Study of Nonlinear Manifold Clustering Algorithms

Subspace clustering is an important unsupervised clustering approach. It is based on the assumption that the high-dimensional data points are approximately distributed around several low-dimensional linear subspaces. The majority of the prominent subspace clustering algorithms rely on the representation of the data points as linear combinations of other data points, which is known as a self-expressive representation. To overcome the restrictive linearity assumption, numerous nonlinear approaches were proposed to extend successful subspace clustering approaches to data on a union of nonlinear m…

Scalable Sparse Subspace Clustering by Orthogonal Matching Pursuit

Subspace clustering methods based on $\ell_1$, $\ell_2$ or nuclear norm regularization have become very popular due to their simplicity, theoretical guarantees and empirical success. However, the choice of the regularizer can greatly impact both theory and practice. For instance, $\ell_1$ regularization is guaranteed to give a subspace-preserving affinity (i.e., there are no connections between points from different subspaces) under broad conditions (e.g., arbitrary subspaces and corrupted data). However, it requires solving a large scale convex optimization problem. On the other hand, $\ell_2…

Subspace Clustering using Ensembles of $K$-Subspaces

Subspace clustering is the unsupervised grouping of points lying near a union of low-dimensional linear subspaces. Algorithms based directly on geometric properties of such data tend to either provide poor empirical performance, lack theoretical guarantees, or depend heavily on their initialization. We present a novel geometric approach to the subspace clustering problem that leverages ensembles of the K-subspaces (KSS) algorithm via the evidence accumulation clustering framework. Our algorithm, referred to as ensemble K-subspaces (EKSS), forms a co-association matrix whose (i,j)th entry is th…

Stochastic Sparse Subspace Clustering

State-of-the-art subspace clustering methods are based on self-expressive model, which represents each data point as a linear combination of other data points. By enforcing such representation to be sparse, sparse subspace clustering is guaranteed to produce a subspace-preserving data affinity where two points are connected only if they are from the same subspace. On the other hand, however, data points from the same subspace may not be well-connected, leading to the issue of over-segmentation. We introduce dropout to address the issue of over-segmentation, which is based on randomly dropping …

Accelerated Sparse Subspace Clustering

State-of-the-art algorithms for sparse subspace clustering perform spectral clustering on a similarity matrix typically obtained by representing each data point as a sparse combination of other points using either basis pursuit (BP) or orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP). BP-based methods are often prohibitive in practice while the performance of OMP-based schemes are unsatisfactory, especially in settings where data points are highly similar. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm that exploits an accelerated variant of orthogonal least-squares to efficiently find the underlying subspaces.…

Self-Supervised Convolutional Subspace Clustering Network

Subspace clustering methods based on data self-expression have become very popular for learning from data that lie in a union of low-dimensional linear subspaces. However, the applicability of subspace clustering has been limited because practical visual data in raw form do not necessarily lie in such linear subspaces. On the other hand, while Convolutional Neural Network (ConvNet) has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool for extracting discriminative features from visual data, training such a ConvNet usually requires a large amount of labeled data, which are unavailable in subspace cluster…

Collaborative Low-Rank Subspace Clustering

In this paper we present Collaborative Low-Rank Subspace Clustering. Given multiple observations of a phenomenon we learn a unified representation matrix. This unified matrix incorporates the features from all the observations, thus increasing the discriminative power compared with learning the representation matrix on each observation separately. Experimental evaluation shows that our method outperforms subspace clustering on separate observations and the state of the art collaborative learning algorithm.

Probabilistic Sparse Subspace Clustering Using Delayed Association

Discovering and clustering subspaces in high-dimensional data is a fundamental problem of machine learning with a wide range of applications in data mining, computer vision, and pattern recognition. Earlier methods divided the problem into two separate stages of finding the similarity matrix and finding clusters. Similar to some recent works, we integrate these two steps using a joint optimization approach. We make the following contributions: (i) we estimate the reliability of the cluster assignment for each point before assigning a point to a subspace. We group the data points into two group…

On Geometric Analysis of Affine Sparse Subspace Clustering

Sparse subspace clustering (SSC) is a state-of-the-art method for segmenting a set of data points drawn from a union of subspaces into their respective subspaces. It is now well understood that SSC produces subspace-preserving data affinity under broad geometric conditions but suffers from a connectivity issue. In this paper, we develop a novel geometric analysis for a variant of SSC, named affine SSC (ASSC), for the problem of clustering data from a union of affine subspaces. Our contributions include a new concept called affine independence for capturing the arrangement of a collection of af…

Constructing the F-Graph with a Symmetric Constraint for Subspace Clustering

Based on further studying the low-rank subspace clustering (LRSC) and L2-graph subspace clustering algorithms, we propose a F-graph subspace clustering algorithm with a symmetric constraint (FSSC), which constructs a new objective function with a symmetric constraint basing on F-norm, whose the most significant advantage is to obtain a closed-form solution of the coefficient matrix. Then, take the absolute value of each element of the coefficient matrix, and retain the k largest coefficients per column, set the other elements to 0, to get a new coefficient matrix. Finally, FSSC performs spectr…

Algebraic Clustering of Affine Subspaces

Subspace clustering is an important problem in machine learning with many applications in computer vision and pattern recognition. Prior work has studied this problem using algebraic, iterative, statistical, low-rank and sparse representation techniques. While these methods have been applied to both linear and affine subspaces, theoretical results have only been established in the case of linear subspaces. For example, algebraic subspace clustering (ASC) is guaranteed to provide the correct clustering when the data points are in general position and the union of subspaces is transversal. In th…

Shape Interaction Matrix Revisited and Robustified: Efficient Subspace Clustering with Corrupted and Incomplete Data

The Shape Interaction Matrix (SIM) is one of the earliest approaches to performing subspace clustering (i.e., separating points drawn from a union of subspaces). In this paper, we revisit the SIM and reveal its connections to several recent subspace clustering methods. Our analysis lets us derive a simple, yet effective algorithm to robustify the SIM and make it applicable to realistic scenarios where the data is corrupted by noise. We justify our method by intuitive examples and the matrix perturbation theory. We then show how this approach can be extended to handle missing data, thus yieldin…

Learnable Subspace Clustering

This paper studies the large-scale subspace clustering (LSSC) problem with million data points. Many popular subspace clustering methods cannot directly handle the LSSC problem although they have been considered as state-of-the-art methods for small-scale data points. A basic reason is that these methods often choose all data points as a big dictionary to build huge coding models, which results in a high time and space complexity. In this paper, we develop a learnable subspace clustering paradigm to efficiently solve the LSSC problem. The key idea is to learn a parametric function to partition…

A Critique of Self-Expressive Deep Subspace Clustering

Subspace clustering is an unsupervised clustering technique designed to cluster data that is supported on a union of linear subspaces, with each subspace defining a cluster with dimension lower than the ambient space. Many existing formulations for this problem are based on exploiting the self-expressive property of linear subspaces, where any point within a subspace can be represented as linear combination of other points within the subspace. To extend this approach to data supported on a union of non-linear manifolds, numerous studies have proposed learning an embedding of the original data …

Structured Sparse Subspace Clustering: A Joint Affinity Learning and Subspace Clustering Framework

Subspace clustering refers to the problem of segmenting data drawn from a union of subspaces. State-of-the-art approaches for solving this problem follow a two-stage approach. In the first step, an affinity matrix is learned from the data using sparse or low-rank minimization techniques. In the second step, the segmentation is found by applying spectral clustering to this affinity. While this approach has led to state-of-the-art results in many applications, it is sub-optimal because it does not exploit the fact that the affinity and the segmentation depend on each other. In this paper, we pro…

Sparse Subspace Clustering via Diffusion Process

Subspace clustering refers to the problem of clustering high-dimensional data that lie in a union of low-dimensional subspaces. State-of-the-art subspace clustering methods are based on the idea of expressing each data point as a linear combination of other data points while regularizing the matrix of coefficients with L1, L2 or nuclear norms for a sparse solution. L1 regularization is guaranteed to give a subspace-preserving affinity (i.e., there are no connections between points from different subspaces) under broad theoretical conditions, but the clusters may not be fully connected. L2 and …

Learning for Multi-Type Subspace Clustering

Subspace clustering has been extensively studied from the hypothesis-and-test, algebraic, and spectral clustering based perspectives. Most assume that only a single type/class of subspace is present. Generalizations to multiple types are non-trivial, plagued by challenges such as choice of types and numbers of models, sampling imbalance and parameter tuning. In this work, we formulate the multi-type subspace clustering problem as one of learning non-linear subspace filters via deep multi-layer perceptrons (mlps). The response to the learnt subspace filters serve as the feature embedding that i…

Fast Subspace Clustering Based on the Kronecker Product

Subspace clustering is a useful technique for many computer vision applications in which the intrinsic dimension of high-dimensional data is often smaller than the ambient dimension. Spectral clustering, as one of the main approaches to subspace clustering, often takes on a sparse representation or a low-rank representation to learn a block diagonal self-representation matrix for subspace generation. However, existing methods require solving a large scale convex optimization problem with a large set of data, with computational complexity reaches O(N^3) for N data points. Therefore, the efficie…

Multi-view Low-rank Sparse Subspace Clustering

Most existing approaches address multi-view subspace clustering problem by constructing the affinity matrix on each view separately and afterwards propose how to extend spectral clustering algorithm to handle multi-view data. This paper presents an approach to multi-view subspace clustering that learns a joint subspace representation by constructing affinity matrix shared among all views. Relying on the importance of both low-rank and sparsity constraints in the construction of the affinity matrix, we introduce the objective that balances between the agreement across different views, while at …

Maximum Entropy Subspace Clustering Network

Deep subspace clustering networks have attracted much attention in subspace clustering, in which an auto-encoder non-linearly maps the input data into a latent space, and a fully connected layer named self-expressiveness module is introduced to learn the affinity matrix via a typical regularization term (e.g., sparse or low-rank). However, the adopted regularization terms ignore the connectivity within each subspace, limiting their clustering performance. In addition, the adopted framework suffers from the coupling issue between the auto-encoder module and the self-expressiveness module, makin…
