Abstract

Collaborative clustering is a promising approach in the learning from other learners research area. Although extensive research have been done to improve the collaborative approaches, they still suffer from several issues, including the mechanism of exchanging the information and how to measure the quality of this information. In this paper we introduce a new model of collaboration guided by feature selection, where the main idea is to choose the features that give the best representation for each collaborator and guarantee the communication between them, while preserving the privacy of each collaborator. Collaborative clustering will be developed within the framework of the theory of optimal transport. Indeed, this theory offers a formalism that is highly adapted to collaboration between members of a set of collaborators. Extensive experiments were conducted on multiple data-sets to evaluate the proposed approach and demonstrate its utility.
