For instance, if 70% of current population converge to the same free energy value before reaching the termination condition, in such a case, HC employs diversity by random initialization whereas if the population space is too diverse, then the HC employs local search process to improvise the solution.

For each dataset, we calculate the mean NMI of different incomplete sample ratios for the late fusion of different initializations. Once this is complete, we rank the performance on each dataset to see which initialization achieve the best final performance, as shown in Table 3.
