Abstract

In multi-view multi-label classification (MVML), each object has multiple heterogeneous views and is annotated with multiple labels. The key to deal with such problem lies in how to capture cross-view consistent correlations while excavate multi-label semantic relationships. Existing MVML methods usually employ two independent components to address them separately, and ignores their potential interaction relationships. To address this issue, we propose a novel Tensorized MVML method named TMvML, which formulates an MVML tensor classifier to excavate comprehensive cross-view feature correlations while characterize complete multi-label semantic relationships. Specifically, we first reconstruct the MVML mapping matrices as an MVML tensor classifier. Then, we rotate the tensor classifier and introduce a low-rank tensor constraint to ensure view-level feature consistency and label-level semantic co-occurrence simultaneously. To better characterize the low-rank tensor structure, we design a new Laplace Tensor Rank (LTR), which serves as a tighter surrogate of tensor rank to capture high-order fiber correlations within the tensor space. By conducting the above operations, our method can easily address the two key challenges in MVML via a concise LTR tensor classifier and achieve the extraction of both cross-view consistent correlations and multi-label semantic relationships simultaneously. Extensive experiments demonstrate that TMvML significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
