Automatic image annotation is an important technique which has been widely applied in many fields such as social network image analysis and retrieval, face recognition and so on. Multi-view image annotation aims to utilize multi-view complementary information to achieve more effective annotation results. However, the existing multi-view image annotation methods cannot well handle the complex and diversified multi-view feature, and the label correlation is also ignored. In this paper, we propose an image annotation method by integrating deep multi-view latent space learning and label correlation guided image annotation into a unified framework, which is termed as Label Correlation guided Deep Multi-view image annotation (LCDM) method. LCDM first learns a consistent multi-view representation via deep matrix factorization, which well captures multi-view complementary information. Then, label correlation is exploited to improve the discriminating power of the classifiers. We propose a unified objective function so that multi-view data representation and classifiers can be jointly learned. Extensive experimental results on various image datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
