Weighted Nuclear Norm Minimization on Multimodality Clustering

Generally, multimodality data contain different potential information available and are capable of providing an enhanced analytical result compared to monosource data. *e way to combine the data plays a crucial role in multimodality data analysis which is worth investigating. Multimodality clustering, which seeks a partition of the data in multiple views, has attracted considerable attention, for example, robust multiview spectral clustering (RMSC) explicitly handles the possible noise in the transition probability matrices associated with different views. Spectral clustering algorithm embeds the input data into a lowdimensional representation by dividing the clustering problem into k subproblems, and the corresponding eigenvalue reflects the loss of each subproblem. So, the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix should be treated differently, while RMSC regularizes each singular value equally when recovering the low-rankmatrix. In this paper, we propose a multimodality clustering algorithmwhich recovers the low-rank matrix by weighted nuclear normminimization. We also propose a method to evaluate the weight vector by learning a shared low-rank matrix. In our experiments, we use several real-world datasets to test our method, and experimental results show that the proposed method has a better performance than other baselines.
