Abstract:

Multi-view clustering aims to improve clustering accuracy by effectively integrating complementary information from multiple perspectives. However, existing methods often encounter challenges such as feature conflicts between views and insufficient enhancement of individual view features, which hinder clustering performance. To address these challenges, we propose a novel framework, EPFMVC, which integrates feature enhancement with progressive fusion to more effectively align multi-view data. Specifically, we introduce two key innovations: (1) a Feature Channel Attention Encoder (FCAencoder), which adaptively enhances the most discriminative features in each view, and (2) a View Graph-based Progressive Fusion Mechanism, which constructs a view graph using optimal transport (OT) distance to progressively fuse similar views while minimizing inter-view conflicts. By leveraging multi-head attention, the fusion process gradually integrates complementary information, ensuring more consistent and robust shared representations. These innovations enable superior representation learning and effective fusion across views. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art techniques, achieving notable improvements in multi-view clustering tasks across various datasets and evaluation metrics.
