Bit-swapping Oriented Twin-memory Multi-view Clustering in Lifelong Incomplete Scenarios

Although receiving notable improvements, current multi-view clustering (MVC) techniques generally rely on feature library mechanisms to propagate accumulated knowledge from historical views to newly-arrived data, which overlooks the information pertaining to basis embedding within each view. Moreover, the mapping paradigm inevitably alters the values of learned landmarks and built affinities due to the uninterruption nature, accordingly disarraying the hierarchical cluster structures. To mitigate these two issues, we in the paper provide a named BSTM algorithm. Concretely, we firstly synchronize with the distinct dimensions by introducing a group of specialized projectors, and then establish unified anchors for all views collected so far to capture intrinsic patterns. Afterwards, departing from per-view architectures, we devise a shared bipartite graph construction via indicators to quantify similarity, which not only avoids redundant data-recalculations but alleviates the representation distortion caused by fusion.
