Abstract
Greedy subspace clustering methods provide an efficient way to cluster large-scale multimedia datasets. However, these methods do not guarantee a global optimum and their clustering performance mainly depends on their initializations. To alleviate this initialization problem, this paper proposes a two-step greedy strategy by exploring proper neighbors that span an initial subspace. Firstly, for each data point, we seek a sparse representation with respect to its nearest neighbors. The data points corresponding to nonzero entries in the learning representation form an initial subspace, which potentially rejects bad or redundant data points. Secondly, the subspace is updated by adding an orthogonal basis involved with the newly added data points. Experimental results on real-world applications demonstrate that our method can significantly improve the clustering accuracy of greedy subspace clustering methods without scarifying much computational time.
