Partially View-aligned Clustering (PVC) addresses the challenge of partial view alignment in multi-view learning by leveraging complementary and consistent information. While existing PVC methods show promise, most rely on distance-based strategies that are sensitive to view-specific details and noise, limiting their robustness. In this work, we propose a novel view alignment strategy that reformulates the alignment task as an anomaly detection problem. Rather than learning a view-alignment matrix that enforces strict one-to-one correspondences across views, we adopt a progressive approach to identify well-aligned samples. Specifically, we sample subsets of data by generating random view combinations from unaligned samples and propose an anomaly combination detection module to evaluate the alignment consistency of these combinations. In addition, our progressive training framework alternates between updating model parameters and selecting high-confidence view combinations for subsequent optimization. By reformulating view alignment as an anomaly detection task, our approach provides a more robust and effective solution to partial view alignment. Experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in the PVC problem.
