Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Extensive experimental studies on several multi-view data sets including real world image and document data sets demonstrate that M4-FC not only outperforms single medoid based multi-view fuzzy clustering approach, but also performs better than existing multi-view relational clustering approaches.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: Input: Distance matrix of P views R1 n n, ..., RP n n, number of clusters K, parameter Tu, Tv,γ stopping criterion ϵ Output: Consensus Fuzzy membership matrix U , representative weight matrix of each view V (p) Method:
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement or a link to open-source code for the described methodology.
Open Datasets Yes Multiple features (MF)1: https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/data sets/Multiple+Features. Image segmentation (IS) 2: https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/data sets/Image+Segmentation. Oxford Flowers 3: http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/ vgg/data/flowers/17/index.html. 3-Sources document (3-S) 4: http://mlg.ucd.ie/data sets/3sources.html. Reuters multilingual: This data set consists of documents written in five different languages (English, French, German, Spanish and Italian) and their corresponding translations [Amini et al., 2009].
Dataset Splits No The paper describes initialization methods for medoids and states that 'the initialization of each run is the same, therefore the clustering results are the same for each run', but it does not specify any train/validation/test dataset splits, percentages, or absolute sample counts for data partitioning used for evaluation.
Hardware Specification No The code is implemented in MATLAB and runs on a computer with eight cores and eight gigabytes of memory.
Software Dependencies No The code is implemented in MATLAB and runs on a computer with eight cores and eight gigabytes of memory.
Experiment Setup Yes For fair comparison, the parameter m in FCMD, Con FCMD and MVFCMdd V is searched from the range of [1.1 2] with step 0.1. For MVSC, we follow the authors experimental setting and parameter selecting methods in their paper. For M4-FC, the parameter γ is searched from [0.1 0.9] with the step 0.1. Tu is searched from [0.001, 0.003, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3]. Tv is set by a guideline to make Tu/K and Tv/N close to each other or be in the same order which always produces reasonable results in our experimental study.
