Cross-View Locality Preserved Diversity and Consensus Learning for Multi-View Unsupervised Feature Selection

摘要

Although demonstrating great success, previous multi-view unsupervised feature selection (MV-UFS) methods often construct a view-specific similarity graph and characterize the local structure of data within each single view. In such a way, the cross-view information could be ignored. In addition, they usually assume that different feature views are projected from a latent feature space while the diversity of different views cannot be fully captured. In this work, we resent a MV-UFS model via cross-view local structure preserved diversity and consensus learning, referred to as CvLP-DCL briefly. In order to exploit both the shared and distinguishing information across different views, we project each view into a label space, which consists of a consensus part and a view-specific part. Therefore, we regularize the fact that different views represent same samples. Meanwhile, a cross-view similarity graph learning term with matrix-induced regularization is embedded to preserve the local structure of data in the label space. By imposing the $l_{2,1}$ -norm on the feature projection matrices for constraining row sparsity, discriminative features can be selected from different views. An efficient algorithm is designed to solve the resultant optimization problem and extensive experiments on six publicly datasets are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed CvLP-DCL.
