Speech title:

Self-Supervised Feature Learning for Deep Multi-View Clustering

Abstract:

Cluster analysis plays an indispensable role in machine learning and data mining. In practical clustering tasks, the input data usually have multiple views. Recently, the application of deep learning in multi-view clustering has attracted people’s increasing attention. Deep multi-view clustering algorithms focus on solving the clustering problems with different forms of input data, and making use of the complementary information among multiple views to improve clustering performance. In this talk, I will introduce our two recent works (Deep Embedded Multi-View Clustering with Collaborative Training, DEMVC; and Self-Supervised Discriminative Feature Learning for Deep Multi-View Clustering, SDMVC) and address some hot research directions of deep multi-view clustering. Hope that through our sharing, this research area will produce more surprising discoveries.
