The paper introduces Inverted Contrastive Learning for Unsupervised Feature Selection (ICLFS), a method that treats each feature as a sample by inverting the data matrix and applies a contrastive learning framework to learn consistent representations across masked positive views and a shuffled negative view. Feature saliency is derived from the magnitude of projector‑space embeddings, and a Laplacian‑Gated Ranking Correction step refines the ranking by reducing local redundancy. Experiments on 12 benchmark datasets show that ICLFS achieves the best clustering accuracy on 10 datasets compared to both classical and neural baselines, demonstrating the effectiveness of feature‑wise contrastive consistency for unsupervised feature selection.

Phase-Consistent Magnetic Spectral Learning for Multi-View Clustering proposes a new unsupervised method that uses a complex-valued magnetic affinity to capture both magnitude and phase information across multiple data views. By deriving a confidence-directed cross-view flow from anchor assignments and combining it with a nonnegative magnitude backbone, the approach constructs a Hermitian magnetic Laplacian that yields a stable shared spectral signal for representation learning and clustering. Experiments on ten public benchmarks show the method outperforms or matches leading MVC baselines on most dataset-metric combinations.
