Abstract

Data with multiple representations (views) arise naturally in many applications and multi-view algorithms can substantially improve the classification and clustering results. In this work, we study the problem of multi-view clustering and propose a multi-view convex mixture model that locates exemplars (cluster representatives) in the dataset by simultaneously considering all views. Convex mixture models are simplified mixture models that exhibit several attractive characteristics. The proposed algorithm extends the single view convex mixture models so as to handle data with any number of representations, taking into account the diversity of the views while preserving their good properties. Empirical evaluations on synthetic and real data demonstrate the effectiveness and potential of our method.
