Incomplete multi–view partial multi–label learning network with structure–aware consistent fusion
摘要
In recent years, incomplete multi-view partial multi-label classification has attracted growing attention due to its practical relevance. However, many existing methods rely on equal-weight (average) fusion and thus overlook sample-wise reliability differences across views, making the fused representations vulnerable to noise and missing views. To address this issue, we propose the Structure-Aware Consistency Fusion Network (SACF-Net) for incomplete multi-view partial multi-label classification. SACF-Net assigns instance-level view weights based on structural consistency, following the principle that larger structural deviation implies lower view reliability, which enables fine-grained fusion and improves the structural stability of the fused embeddings. Moreover, we convert the prior graph structure into a prior neighborhood distribution and introduce a graph-guided distribution consistency objective to align the neighborhood distribution induced by the fused representation with the prior one, while encouraging agreement among view-specific neighborhood distributions. This design strengthens multi-view consistency at the neighborhood-distribution level and alleviates missingness-induced distribution shifts. Experiments on five public benchmark datasets demonstrate that SACF-Net consistently outperforms competitive methods on multiple evaluation metrics.
