LoomSC: Scalable Deep Subspace Clustering with Projector Factorization and Exact Spectral Reduction

We introduce the Latent Orthogonal Optimization Model for Subspace Clustering (LoomSC), a framework that addresses both bottlenecks through projector factorization and exact spectral reduction.

Key points

  • Dense self-expression matrices and full-affinity spectral clustering limit the scalability of subspace clustering.
  • Motivated by the spectral structure of least-squares regression, LoomSC jointly learns latent features and a projector self-representation through two thin factors.
  • An exact feature map then reduces its normalized spectral problem to an eigenproblem whose dimension depends only on the factor width.
  • Our analysis quantifies the projector approximation and identifies conditions for subspace preservation and within-subspace connectivity.
