In this paper, we propose an unsupervised collaborative representation deep network (UCRDNet) which consists of novel collaborative representation RBM (crRBM) and collaborative representation GRBM (crGRBM). The UCRDNet is a novel deep collaborative feature extractor for exploring more sophisticated probabilistic models of real-valued and binary data. Unlike traditional representation methods, one similarity relation between the input instances and another similarity relation between the features of the input instances are collaboratively fused together in the representation process of the crGRBM and crRBM models. Here, we use the Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) method to divide the input instance matrix into many mini blocks which contain similar instance and local features. Then, we expect the hidden layer feature units of each block gather to block center as much as possible in the training processes of the crRBM and crGRBM. Hence, the correlations between the instances and features as collaborative relations are fused in the hidden layer features. In the experiments, we use K-means and Spectral Clustering (SC) algorithms based on four contrast deep networks to verify the deep collaborative representation capability of the UCRDNet architecture. One architecture of the UCRDNet is composed with a crGRBM and two crRBMs for modeling real-valued data and another architecture of it is composed with three crRBMs for modeling binary data. The experimental results show that the proposed UCRDNet has more outstanding performance than the Autoencoder and DeepFS deep networks (without collaborative representation strategy) for unsupervised clustering on the MSRA-MM2.0 and UCI datasets. Furthermore, the proposed UCRDNet shows more excellent collaborative representation capabilities than the CDL deep collaborative networks for unsupervised clustering.
