Heterogeneous-attributes enhancement deep framework for network embedding

摘要

Network embedding, which targets at learning the vector representation of vertices, has become a crucial issue in network analysis. However, considering the complex structures and heterogeneous attributes in real-world networks, existing methods may fail to handle the inconsistencies between the structure topology and attribute proximity. Thus, more comprehensive techniques are urgently required to capture the highly non-linear network structure and solve the existing inconsistencies with retaining more information. To that end, in this paper, we propose a heterogeneous-attributes enhancement deep framework (HEDF), which could better capture the non-linear structure and associated information in a deep learning way, and effectively combine the structure information of multi-views by the combining layer. Along this line, the inconsistencies will be handled to some extent and more structure information will be preserved through a semi-supervised mode. The extensive validations on several real-world datasets show that our model could outperform the baselines, especially for the sparse and inconsistent situation with less training data.
