In these scenarios, original image data often contain missing instances and noises, which is ignored by most multi-view clustering methods. However, missing instances may make these methods difficult to use directly and noises will lead to unreliable clustering results. In this paper, we propose a novel Auto-weighted Noisy and Incomplete Multi-view Clustering framework (ANIMC) via a soft auto-weighted strategy and a doubly soft regular regression model. Firstly, by designing adaptive semi-regularized nonnegative matrix factorization (adaptive semi-RNMF), the soft auto-weighted strategy assigns a proper weight to each view and adds a soft boundary to balance the influence of noises and incompleteness. Secondly, by proposing{\\theta}-norm, the doubly soft regularized regression model adjusts the sparsity of our model by choosing different{\\theta}. Compared with existing methods, ANIMC has three unique advantages: 1) it is a soft algorithm to adjust our framework in different scenarios, thereby improving its generalization ability; 2) it automatically learns a proper weight for each view, thereby reducing the influence of noises; 3) it performs doubly soft regularized regression that aligns the same instances in different views, thereby decreasing the impact of missing instances. Extensive experimental results demonstrate its superior advantages over other state-of-the-art methods.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.10331v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.10331v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"animc-a-soft-framework-for-auto-weighted","repo_url":"https://github.com/ZeusDavide/TAI_2021_ANIMC","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"clustering","task_name":"Clustering"},{"task_slug":"incomplete-multi-view-clustering","task_name":"Incomplete multi-view clustering"},{"task_slug":"regression-1","task_name":"regression"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2011.10331","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
