Robust auto-weighted multi-view subspace clustering with common subspace representation matrix.

ABSTRACT: In many computer vision and machine learning applications, the data sets distribute on certain low-dimensional subspaces. Subspace clustering is a powerful technology to find the underlying subspaces and cluster data points correctly. However, traditional subspace clustering methods can only be applied on data from one source, and how to extend these methods and enable the extensions to combine information from various data sources has become a hot area of research. Previous multi-view subspace methods aim to learn multiple subspace representation matrices simultaneously and these learning task for different views are treated equally. After obtaining representation matrices, they stack up the learned representation matrices as the common underlying subspace structure. However, for many problems, the importance of sources and the importance of features in one source both can be varied, which makes the previous approaches ineffective. In this paper, we propose a novel method called Robust Auto-weighted Multi-view Subspace Clustering (RAMSC). In our method, the weight for both the sources and features can be learned automatically via utilizing a novel trick and introducing a sparse norm. More importantly, the objective of our method is a common representation matrix which directly reflects the common underlying subspace structure. A new efficient algorithm is derived to solve the formulated objective with rigorous theoretical proof on its convergency. Extensive experimental results on five benchmark multi-view datasets well demonstrate that the proposed method consistently outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

Project description:It is a vital task to design an integrated machine learning model to discover cancer subtypes and understand the heterogeneity of cancer based on multiple omics data. In recent years, some multi-view clustering algorithms have been proposed and applied to the prediction of cancer subtypes. Among them, the multi-view clustering methods based on graph learning are widely concerned. These multi-view approaches usually have one or more of the following problems. Many multi-view algorithms use the original omics data matrix to construct the similarity matrix and ignore the learning of the similarity matrix. They separate the data clustering process from the graph learning process, resulting in a highly dependent clustering performance on the predefined graph. In the process of graph fusion, these methods simply take the average value of the affinity graph of multiple views to represent the result of the fusion graph, and the rich heterogeneous information is not fully utilized. To solve the above problems, in this paper, a Multi-view Spectral Clustering Based on Multi-smooth Representation Fusion (MRF-MSC) method was proposed. Firstly, MRF-MSC constructs a smooth representation for each data type, which can be viewed as a sample (patient) similarity matrix. The smooth representation can explicitly enhance the grouping effect. Secondly, MRF-MSC integrates the smooth representation of multiple omics data to form a similarity matrix containing all biological data information through graph fusion. In addition, MRF-MSC adaptively gives weight factors to the smooth regularization representation of each omics data by using the self-weighting method. Finally, MRF-MSC imposes constrained Laplacian rank on the fusion similarity matrix to get a better cluster structure. The above problems can be transformed into spectral clustering for solving, and the clustering results can be obtained. MRF-MSC unifies the above process of graph construction, graph fusion and spectral clustering under one framework, which can learn better data representation and high-quality graphs, so as to achieve better clustering effect. In the experiment, MRF-MSC obtained good experimental results on the TCGA cancer data sets.
