Title: Heterogeneous information network embedding and applications
Abstract: Most real systems consist of a large number of interacting, multi-typed components, which can be modeled as heterogeneous information networks. Recently, heterogeneous information network has attracted more and more attentions, since it contains rich structure and semantic information through fusing heterogeneous information. Meanwhile, with the surge of deep learning, network embedding has shown its powerful ability to learn the feature representation of nodes for downstream tasks. However, contemporary network embeddings focus on homogeneous network. In this talk, I will introduce our recent work on heterogeneous information network embedding and its applications on real applications.
