Relation Structure-Aware Heterogeneous Information Network Embedding
Heterogeneous information network (HIN) embedding aims to embed multiple
types of nodes into a low-dimensional space. Although most existing HIN
embedding methods consider heterogeneous relations in HINs, they usually employ
one single model for all relations without distinction, which inevitably
restricts the capability of network embedding. In this paper, we take the
structural characteristics of heterogeneous relations into consideration and
propose a novel Relation structure-aware Heterogeneous Information Network
Embedding model (RHINE). By exploring the real-world networks with thorough
mathematical analysis, we present two structure-related measures which can
consistently distinguish heterogeneous relations into two categories:
Affiliation Relations (ARs) and Interaction Relations (IRs). To respect the
distinctive characteristics of relations, in our RHINE, we propose different
models specifically tailored to handle ARs and IRs, which can better capture
the structures and semantics of the networks. At last, we combine and optimize
these models in a unified and elegant manner. Extensive experiments on three
real-world datasets demonstrate that our model significantly outperforms the
state-of-the-art methods in various tasks, including node clustering, link
prediction, and node classification
Representation Learning for Attributed Multiplex Heterogeneous Network
Network embedding (or graph embedding) has been widely used in many
real-world applications. However, existing methods mainly focus on networks
with single-typed nodes/edges and cannot scale well to handle large networks.
Many real-world networks consist of billions of nodes and edges of multiple
types, and each node is associated with different attributes. In this paper, we
formalize the problem of embedding learning for the Attributed Multiplex
Heterogeneous Network and propose a unified framework to address this problem.
The framework supports both transductive and inductive learning. We also give
the theoretical analysis of the proposed framework, showing its connection with
previous works and proving its better expressiveness. We conduct systematical
evaluations for the proposed framework on four different genres of challenging
datasets: Amazon, YouTube, Twitter, and Alibaba. Experimental results
demonstrate that with the learned embeddings from the proposed framework, we
can achieve statistically significant improvements (e.g., 5.99-28.23% lift by
F1 scores; p<<0.01, t-test) over previous state-of-the-art methods for link
prediction. The framework has also been successfully deployed on the
recommendation system of a worldwide leading e-commerce company, Alibaba Group.
Results of the offline A/B tests on product recommendation further confirm the
effectiveness and efficiency of the framework in practice.Comment: Accepted to KDD 2019. Website: https://sites.google.com/view/gatn
