Generative Diffusion Contrastive Network for Multi-View Clustering

In recent years, Multi-View Clustering (MVC) has been significantly advanced under the influence of deep learning. By integrating heterogeneous data from multiple views, MVC enhances clustering analysis, making multi-view fusion critical to clustering performance. However, there is a problem of low-quality data in multi-view fusion. This problem primarily arises from two reasons: 1) Certain views are contaminated by noisy data. 2) Some views suffer from missing data. This paper proposes a novel Stochastic Generative Diffusion Fusion (SGDF) method to address this problem. SGDF leverages a multiple generative mechanism for the multi-view feature of each sample. It is robust to low-quality data. Building on SGDF, we further present the Generative Diffusion Contrastive Network (GDCN). Extensive experiments show that GDCN achieves the state-of-the-art results in deep MVC tasks. The source code is publicly available at https://github.com/HackerHyper/GDCN.

Learning Disentangled Representations for Generalized Multi-view Clustering

Multi-View Clustering (MVC) has gained significant attention for its ability to leverage complementary information across diverse views. However, existing deep MVC methods often struggle with view-distribution entanglement during cross-view fusion, which hampers the quality of the shared latent space and leads to suboptimal Figures. To address this issue, we propose the Generalized Multi-view Auto-Encoder (GMAE), a framework designed to preserve cross-view complementarity through disentangled representation learning. Specifically, GMAE employs dual-path autoencoders to decouple source features into view-specific and view-common embeddings, facilitating the discovery of clearer clustering structures. We further construct cross-view adversarial discriminators to guide view-specific encoders in capturing more discriminative features. By strategically modulating mutual information, GMAE effectively aligns distributions and prevents representation collapse, ensuring the generation of robust, non-trivial embeddings. Comprehensive experiments on 13 benchmark datasets demonstrate that GMAE consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both complete and incomplete MVC tasks. Our code implementation is available at the repository: https://github.com/obananas/GMAE.

Unsupervised Domain Expansion from Multiple Sources

Given an existing system learned from previous source domains, it is desirable to adapt the system to new domains without accessing and forgetting all the previous domains in some applications. This problem is known as domain expansion. Unlike traditional domain adaptation in which the target domain is the domain defined by new data, in domain expansion the target domain is formed jointly by the source domains and the new domain (hence, domain expansion) and the label function to be learned must work for the expanded domain. Specifically, this paper presents a method for unsupervised multi-source domain expansion (UMSDE) where only the pre-learned models of the source domains and unlabelled new domain data are available. We propose to use the predicted class probability of the unlabelled data in the new domain produced by different source models to jointly mitigate the biases among domains, exploit the discriminative information in the new domain, and preserve the performance in the source domains. Experimental results on the VLCS, ImageCLEF_DA and PACS datasets have verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.

RGB-D-based Action Recognition Datasets: A Survey

Human action recognition from RGB-D (Red, Green, Blue and Depth) data has attracted increasing attention since the first work reported in 2010. Over this period, many benchmark datasets have been created to facilitate the development and evaluation of new algorithms. This raises the question of which dataset to select and how to use it in providing a fair and objective comparative evaluation against state-of-the-art methods. To address this issue, this paper provides a comprehensive review of the most commonly used action recognition related RGB-D video datasets, including 27 single-view datasets, 10 multi-view datasets, and 7 multi-person datasets. The detailed information and analysis of these datasets is a useful resource in guiding insightful selection of datasets for future research. In addition, the issues with current algorithm evaluation vis-á-vis limitations of the available datasets and evaluation protocols are also highlighted; resulting in a number of recommendations for collection of new datasets and use of evaluation protocols.

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Action Recognition Using Depth Map Sequences

Recently, deep learning approach has achieved promising results in various fields of computer vision. In this paper, a new framework called Hierarchical Depth Motion Maps (HDMM) + 3 Channel Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (3ConvNets) is proposed for human action recognition using depth map sequences. Firstly, we rotate the original depth data in 3D pointclouds to mimic the rotation of cameras, so that our algorithms can handle view variant cases. Secondly, in order to effectively extract the body shape and motion information, we generate weighted depth motion maps (DMM) at several temporal scales, referred to as Hierarchical Depth Motion Maps (HDMM). Then, three channels of ConvNets are trained on the HDMMs from three projected orthogonal planes separately. The proposed algorithms are evaluated on MSRAction3D, MSRAction3DExt, UTKinect-Action and MSRDailyActivity3D datasets respectively. We also combine the last three datasets into a larger one (called Combined Dataset) and test the proposed method on it. The results show that our approach can achieve state-of-the-art results on the individual datasets and without dramatical performance degradation on the Combined Dataset.
