A consensus representation is a unified, shared data representation learned by integrating information across multiple distinct views, modalities, or feature sets of the same underlying data samples. In multi-view machine learning and clustering, it captures the consistent semantic structures and complementary features common to all viewpoints while filtering out view-specific noise, variance, and redundancy. By fusing cross-view information into a single harmonious latent space, consensus representations allow algorithms to perform downstream analytical tasks, such as unsupervised clustering or classification, more effectively than relying on isolated individual views.
