Title
Triplet Deep Subspace Clustering via Self-Supervised Data Augmentation
Abstract
Deep subspace clustering (DSC) with the auto-encoder and self-expression layer is of great concern due to encouraging performance. However, existing methods usually adopt a "single-task" strategy based on a single dataset, without considering other related tasks or data. As such, they cannot discover other useful information to improve the clustering task. Besides, the local structure preservation of the latent codes in mapping is usually ignored. In this paper, we therefore present an effective "multi-task" strategy via the self-supervised data augmentation, and propose a new end-to-end trainable Triplet Deep Subspace Clustering Network (TDSC-net). Specifically, TDSC-net firstly generates triplet data (i.e., anchor, positive and negative data) from input data by a spectral clustering module and a self-supervised data augmentation module. This can enable it to inherit the merits of self-supervised learning and multi-task learning implicitly. After that, TDSC-net builds a triplet deep autoencoder network with a self-expression layer, which takes the triplet data as input, where they share the common network layers (i.e., autoencoder and self-expression layers) over the triple tasks for complementary learning and mutual supervision A triplet loss is also included to retain the local information of deep latent codes, which will also benefit the self-expression. Furthermore, TDSC-net separates the self-expression layer from decoding process to improve the efficiency of reconstruction Extensive results on several public datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our triplet-task DSC strategy.
