Multi-level Feature Learning for Contrastive Multi-view Clustering

Multi-view clustering can explore common semantics from multiple views and has attracted increasing attention. However, existing works punish multiple objectives in the same feature space, where they ignore the conflict between learning consistent common semantics and reconstructing inconsistent view-private information. In this paper, we propose a new framework of multi-level feature learning for contrastive multi-view clustering to address the aforementioned issue. Our method learns different levels of features from the raw features, including low-level features, high-level features, and semantic labels/features in a fusion-free manner, so that it can effectively achieve the reconstruction objective and the…
