Multi-view Data Classification with a Label-driven Auto-weighted Strategy
share
Distinguishing the importance of views has proven to be quite helpful for semi-supervised multi-view learning models. However, existing strategies cannot take advantage of semi-supervised information, only distinguishing the importance of views from a data feature perspective, which is often influenced by low-quality views then leading to poor performance. In this paper, by establishing a link between labeled data and the importance of different views, we propose an auto-weighted strategy to evaluate the importance of views from a label perspective to avoid the negative impact of unimportant or low-quality views. Based on this strategy, we propose a transductive semi-supervised auto-weighted multi-view classification model. The initialization of the proposed model can be effectively determined by labeled data, which is practical. The model is decoupled into three small-scale sub-problems that can efficiently be optimized with a local convergence guarantee. The experimental results on classification tasks show that the proposed method achieves optimal or sub-optimal classification accuracy at the lowest computational cost compared to other related methods, and the weight change experiments show that our proposed strategy can distinguish view importance more accurately than other related strategies on multi-view datasets with low-quality views.
