  • Patent number: 9542654
    Abstract: In multi-view learning, optimized prediction matrices are determined for V?2 views of n objects, and a prediction of a view of an object is generated based on the optimized prediction matrix for that view. An objective is optimized, wherein is a set of parameters including at least the V prediction matrices and a concatenated matrix comprising a concatenation of the prediction matrices, and comprises a sum including at least a loss function for each view, a trace norm of the prediction matrix for each view, and a trace norm of the concatenated matrix. may further include a sparse matrix for each view, with further including an element-wise norm of the sparse matrix for each view. may further include regularization parameters scaling the trace norms of the prediction matrices and the trace norm of the concatenated matrix.
