Unsupervised feature selection (UFS) is of great significance in image processing and pattern recognition. Nevertheless, existing model-based methods often rely on manually tuned hyperparameters, while deep learning-based methods generally require massive training data. To address these issues, this paper proposes an efficient manifold deep unfolding feature selection network (MDUFS-Net). Technically, we first incorporate the $\ell_{2,0}$-norm into the classic principal component analysis (PCA) framework, then unfold the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM)-based iterative algorithm into an end-to-end trainable network, thereby enabling automatic parameter learning. Moreover, a manifold optimization strategy is developed to improve the numerical robustness. On this basis, we further extend MDUFS-Net into an enhanced variant called MDUFS-Net+ by introducing the $\ell_{0}$-norm for more discriminative feature representations. Extensive experiments validate that our proposed MDUFS-Net and MDUFS-Net+ outperform state-of-the-art methods in the UFS task, with promising performance in clustering.
