Collaborative feature-weighted multi-view fuzzy c-means clustering

作者:

Highlights:

• Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering had been extended for handling multi-view data.

• We propose a novel multi-view FCM (MVFCM) clustering algorithm with view and feature weights based on collaborative learning, called Co-FW-MVFCM.

• The proposed Co-FW-MVFCM contains a two-step schema that includes a local step and a collaborative step.

• The Co-FW-MVFCM can give feature reduction to exclude redundant feature components during clustering processes.

• Comparisons among Co-FW-MVFCM and existing MVFCM algorithms actually demonstrate the effectiveness and usefulness of Co-FW-MVFCM.
