Adaptive Collaborative Sot Label Learning for Unsupervised Multi-view Feature Selection

Abstract

Unsupervised multi-view feature selection aims to select informative features with multi-view features and unsupervised learning. It is a challenging problem due to the absence of explicit semantic supervision. Recently, graph theory and hard pseudo-label learning have been adopted to solve multi-view feature selection problems under the unsupervised learning paradigm. However, graph-based methods are diicult to support large-scale real scenarios due to the high computational complexity of graph construction. Moreover, existing methods based on hard pseudo-label learning generally result in signiicant information loss. In this paper, we propose an Adaptive Collaborative Soft Label Learning (ACSLL) model for unsupervised multi-view feature selection. In this model, collaborative soft label learning and multi-view feature selection are integrated into a uniied framework. Speciically, we learn the pseudo soft labels from each view feature by a simple and eicient method and fuse them with an adaptive weighting strategy into a joint soft label matrix. This matrix is further used for guiding the feature selection process to identify valuable features. An efective optimization strategy guaranteed with proven convergence is derived to iteratively solve this problem. Experiments demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in both feature selection accuracy and eiciency.
