Incomplete multi-view clustering (IMVC) aims to partition samples into different groups for datasets with missing samples. The primary goal of IMVC is to effectively address the challenge posed by missing information in clustering analysis. Most existing IMVC methods focus on balanced incomplete multi-view data, assuming a uniform missing rate across all views. However, this assumption does not accurately reflect real-life scenarios. In reality, unbalanced incomplete multi-view data, characterized by varying missing rates among different views, is more prevalent. This presents significant challenges to the clustering process, as varying missing rates can lead to information imbalance. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a novel approach called projected cross-view learning for unbalanced incomplete multi-view clustering (PCL_UIMVC). Specifically, a reconstruction term is integrated, which leverages the information from the existing samples to facilitate the completion of the unbalanced incomplete multi-view data. Next, a projection matrix is incorporated into the model to harmonize feature dimensions across views, mitigating the impact of information imbalance. Then, a graph regularization term is integrated to preserve the geometric structure of the original data. Finally, an iterative algorithm is developed to solve the proposed model. Extensive experiments on eight standard datasets, featuring various rates of missing data, validate the superior clustering performance of the proposed method.
