GRESS: Grouping Belief-Based Deep Contrastive Subspace Clustering
提出一种新的深度子空间聚类方法GRESS，通过整合聚类信息和高阶关系来提升自表达系数的精度，在四个基准数据集上优于现有方法。
The self-expressive coefficient plays a crucial role in the self-expressiveness-based subspace clustering method. To enhance the precision of the self-expressive coefficient, we propose a novel deep subspace clustering method, named grouping belief-based deep contrastive subspace clustering (GRESS), which integrates the clustering information and higher-order relationship into the coefficient matrix. Specifically, we develop a deep contrastive subspace clustering module to enhance the learning of both self-expressive coefficients and cluster representations simultaneously. This approach enables the derivation of relatively noiseless self-expressive similarities and cluster-based similarities. To enable interaction between these two types of similarities, we propose a unique grouping belief-based affinity refinement module. This module leverages grouping belief to uncover the higher-order relationships within the similarity matrix, and integrates the well-designed noisy similarity suppression and similarity increment regularization to eliminate redundant connections while complete absent information. Extensive experimental results on four benchmark datasets validate the superiority of our proposed method GRESS over several state-of-the-art methods.
