Abstract:Deep subspace clustering (DSC) networks based on self-expressive model learn representation matrix, often implemented in terms of fully connected network, in the embedded space. After the learning is finished, representation matrix is used by spectral clustering module to assign labels to clusters. However, such approach ignores complementary information that exist in other layers of the encoder (including the input data themselves). Herein, we apply selected linear subspace clustering algorithm to learn representation matrices from representations learned by all layers of encoder network including the input data. Afterward, we learn a multilayer graph that in a multi-view like manner integrates information from graph Laplacians of all used layers. That improves further performance of selected DSC network. Furthermore, we also provide formulation of our approach to cluster out-of-sample/test data points. We validate proposed approach on four well-known datasets with two DSC networks as baseline models. In almost all the cases, proposed approach achieved statistically significant improvement in three performance metrics. MATLAB code of proposed algorithm is posted on https://github.com/lovro-sinda/MLG-DSC.
