Real-world complex networks are inherently heterogeneous; they have different types of nodes, attributes, and relationships. In recent years, various methods have been proposed to automatically learn how to encode the structural and semantic information contained in heterogeneous information networks (HINs) into low-dimensional embeddings; this task is called heterogeneous network embedding (HNE). Efficient HNE techniques can benefit various HIN-based machine learning tasks such as node classification, recommender systems, and information retri...
