Data is increasingly being collected from multiple sources and described by multiple views. These multi-view data provide richer information than traditional single-view data. Fusing the former for specific tasks is an essential component of multi-view clustering. Since the goal of multi-view clustering algorithms is to discover the common latent structure shared by multiple views, the majority of proposed solutions overlook the advantages of incorporating knowledge derived from horizontal collaboration between multi-view data and the final consensus. To fill this gap, we propose the Joint Multi-View Collaborative Clustering (JMVCC) solution, which involves the generation of basic partitions using Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) and the horizontal collaboration principle, followed by the fusion of these local partitions using ensemble clustering. Furthermore, we propose a weighting method to reduce the risk of negative collaboration (i.e., views with low quality) during the generation and fusion of local partitions. The experimental results, which were obtained using a variety of data sets, demonstrate that JMVCC outperforms other multi-view clustering algorithms and is robust to noisy views.

多视角数据提供了比传统单视角数据更丰富的信息，多视角聚类算法旨在发现多视角数据之间共享的潜在结构，但现有方法往往没有充分利用多视角数据之间的横向协作，本文提出了一种基于横向协作的联合多视角协同聚类方法(JMVCC)，包括使用非负矩阵分解(NMF)和横向协作原则生成基本分区，以及使用集成聚类方法融合这些局部分区，同时提出一种加权方法来降低低质量视角对生成和融合局部分区的负面影响，实验证明JMVCC在各种数据集上优于其他多视角聚类算法，对噪声视角具有鲁棒性。
