    多粒度融合驱动的超多视图分类方法

    Multi-Granulation Fusion-Driven Method for Many-View Classification

    • 摘要: 有效的融合算子可提升多视图分类方法的性能.随着视图个数增多,现有融合算子面临2方面挑战:1)表达能力强的融合算子得到的融合向量维度呈指数增加,而融合维度不变的融合算子的表达能力较弱;2)现有融合算子往往一次作用于全部视图,这种融合策略建模视图间的关系较为困难.为解决这些问题,受多粒度启发,提出一种多粒度融合的超多视图分类方法.首先,使用1个融合算子建模任意视图对之间的关系;然后,基于成对关系结果,使用1个融合算子建模每个视图与其他全部视图的关系;最后,基于每个视图与其他全部视图的关系结果,使用1个融合算子建模全部视图间的关系.4个大规模数据集上的实验结果表明:多粒度融合的超多视图分类方法的性能统计上优于比较方法,这表明多粒度由易到难建模视图特征间关系的策略确实可提升多视图分类方法的性能.

       

      Abstract: Multi-view classification is an important research issue in multi-view machine learning. Existing studies indicate that the effective fusion operators play a key role for performance improvement of multi-view classification tasks. Hence, one of the hot topics for multi-view classification research is to design effective fusion operators. As the number of views increases (task with more than three views, named many-view task), the existing fusion operators confront two problems: 1) the dimension of the fused vector obtained by using the fusion operators with stronger expressiveness ability exponentially increases with the increasing number of views; while the expressive ability of the fusion operators having nothing to do with the number of views is weaker; 2) currently, most of these methods use a fusion operator to directly fuse all view features and obtain the final fused vector. When there are many views, it is difficult to model relationship among views via the strategy. To address these issues, inspired by multigranulation, this article proposes a multi-granulation fusion method (MGF) for multi-view classification. MGF hierarchically models relation among view features from three level of granularities. Specifically, firstly, it uses a fusion operator to model the relation between pair of two views at the first level of granularity, then uses a fusion operator to model the relation between a view and other views at the second level of granularity, and finally a fusion operator is used to model the relation among all views at the third level of granularity. The experimental results conducted on four large-scale multi-view datasets demonstrate that our proposed method can statistically achieve better performance than the compared methods.
