The official repos of Efficient Multi-view Clustering Networks

Deep learning has made remarkable progress on multi-view clustering (MvC) in the last decade. Most existing literature adopted a broad target to guide network learning, such as minimize the reconstruction loss. It is effective but not efficient. In this paper, we proposed a novel framework, named Efficient Multi-view Clustering Networks (EMC-Nets), which guarantees the efficiency of the network learning and produces discriminative common representation efficiently in multiple sources. Specifically, the proposed method alternates between the instruction process and approximation process during training. The instruction process employs a standard clustering algorithm, such as k-means, to generate pseudo-labels corresponding to the current common representation. The approximation process leverages pseudo-labels to force the network to approximate a reasonable cluster distribution. Experimental results on four real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

• python 3.7
• pytorch 1.8.1
• CUDA 10.2

We recommend using Conda to setup the environment, and run as the following:

1. Create the virtual environment and install the requirements.

   conda create -n EMC-Nets python=3.7
   conda activate EMC-Nets
   cd EMC-Nets
   conda install --yes --file requirements.txt
   

2. Then, use unittest to test this project, following:

   cd tests
   export PYTHONPATH="../"
   python -m unittest
   

Run:

python validation.py
