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
Beyond Keywords and Relevance: A Personalized Ad Retrieval Framework in E-Commerce Sponsored Search
On most sponsored search platforms, advertisers bid on some keywords for
their advertisements (ads). Given a search request, ad retrieval module
rewrites the query into bidding keywords, and uses these keywords as keys to
select Top N ads through inverted indexes. In this way, an ad will not be
retrieved even if queries are related when the advertiser does not bid on
corresponding keywords. Moreover, most ad retrieval approaches regard rewriting
and ad-selecting as two separated tasks, and focus on boosting relevance
between search queries and ads. Recently, in e-commerce sponsored search more
and more personalized information has been introduced, such as user profiles,
long-time and real-time clicks. Personalized information makes ad retrieval
able to employ more elements (e.g. real-time clicks) as search signals and
retrieval keys, however it makes ad retrieval more difficult to measure ads
retrieved through different signals. To address these problems, we propose a
novel ad retrieval framework beyond keywords and relevance in e-commerce
sponsored search. Firstly, we employ historical ad click data to initialize a
hierarchical network representing signals, keys and ads, in which personalized
information is introduced. Then we train a model on top of the hierarchical
network by learning the weights of edges. Finally we select the best edges
according to the model, boosting RPM/CTR. Experimental results on our
e-commerce platform demonstrate that our ad retrieval framework achieves good
performance
