Multi-view clustering (MVC) aims to uncover latent cluster structures by exploiting complementary information from multiple views. Despite substantial progress in clustering performance, fairness remains an important concern when MVC is applied to socially sensitive scenarios. Recent fair multi-view clustering methods have introduced fairness constraints into representation learning or clustering assignments. However, these methods generally treat different views under a largely uniform fairness mechanism, without explicitly distinguishing their varying levels of sensitive dependence during cross-view learning. In practice, different views may encode substantially different levels of sensitive information. Ignoring such cross-view discrepancy can allow highly sensitive-dependent views to influence less sensitive-dependent ones during cross-view learning, potentially degrading both clustering performance and fairness. To address this issue, we propose a novel multi-view fair clustering framework guided by cross-view sensitive information discrepancy. Specifically, we estimate the sensitive dependence of each view and develop a bias-ranked asymmetric alignment mechanism that encourages views with higher sensitive dependence to learn from those with lower sensitive dependence, while cross-view discrepancies are further exploited to adaptively regulate the alignment process. Moreover, fairness regularization is imposed on the consensus soft assignments to further promote group fairness. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a favorable balance between clustering quality and group fairness.
