Multiview clustering, which aims at using multiple distinct feature sets to boost clustering performance, has a wide range of applications. A subspace-based approach, a type of widely used methods, learns unified embedding from multiple sources of information and gives a relatively good performance. However, these methods usually ignore data similarity rankings; for example, example A may be more similar to B than C, and such similarity triplets may be more effective in revealing the data cluster structure. Motivated by recent embedding methods for modeling knowledge graph in natural-language processing, this paper proposes to mimic different views as different relations in a knowledge graph for unified and view-specific embedding learning. Moreover, in real applications, it happens so often that some views suffer from missing information, leading to incomplete multiview data. Under such a scenario, the performance of conventional multiview clustering degenerates notably, whereas the method we propose here can be naturally extended for incomplete multiview clustering, which enables full use of examples with incomplete feature sets for model promotion. Finally, we demonstrate through extensive experiments that our method performs better than the state-of-the-art clustering methods.
