The paper titled "Multi-view Semantic Consistency based Information Bottleneck for Clustering" proposes a novel approach to multi-view clustering that leverages semantic consistency to improve the learning process of information bottleneck for different views. While most existing methods focus on learning a fused representation matrix, they ignore the influence of private information and noise. To address this limitation, the authors introduce MSCIB, which conducts an alignment operation of multiple views in the semantic space and jointly achieves valuable consistent information from multi-view data. This learned semantic consistency improves the information bottleneck's ability to distinguish consistent information more accurately and learn a unified feature representation with more discriminative consistent information for clustering. The proposed method is evaluated on various types of multi-view datasets, and experimental results show that MSCIB outperforms state-of-the-art methods. The authors' approach has significant implications in real-world applications where multiple sources of data are available, such as medical diagnosis or social network analysis. By leveraging semantic consistency across multiple views, MSCIB can provide more accurate and robust clustering results while accounting for private information and noise in each view. Overall, this paper presents a promising direction for future research in multi-view clustering by incorporating semantic consistency into the learning process.

Abstract: Multi-view clustering can make use of multi-source information for unsupervised clustering. Most existing methods focus on learning a fused representation matrix, while ignoring the influence of private information and noise. To address this limitation, we introduce a novel Multi-view Semantic Consistency based Information Bottleneck for clustering (MSCIB). Specifically, MSCIB pursues semantic consistency to improve the learning process of information bottleneck for different views. It conducts the alignment operation of multiple views in the semantic space and jointly achieves the valuable consistent information of multi-view data. In this way, the learned semantic consistency from multi-view data can improve the information bottleneck to more exactly distinguish the consistent information and learn a unified feature representation with more discriminative consistent information for clustering. Experiments on various types of multi-view datasets show that MSCIB achieves state-of-the-art performance.
