Heterogeneous information networks(HINs) become popular in recent years for its strong capability of modelling objects with abundant information using explicit network structure. Network embedding has been proved as an effective method to convert information networks into lower-dimensional space, whereas the core information can be well preserved. However, traditional network embedding algorithms are sub-optimal in capturing rich while potentially incompatible semantics provided by HINs. To address this issue, a novel meta-path-based HIN representation learning framework named mSHINE is designed to simultaneously learn multiple node representations for different meta-paths. More specifically, one representation learning module inspired by the RNN structure is developed and multiple node representations can be learned simultaneously, where each representation is associated with one respective meta-path. By measuring the relevance between nodes with the designed objective function, the learned module can be applied in downstream link prediction tasks. A set of criteria for selecting initial meta-paths is proposed as the other module in mSHINE which is important to reduce the optimal meta-path selection cost when no prior knowledge of suitable meta-paths is available. To corroborate the effectiveness of mSHINE, extensive experimental studies including node classification and link prediction are conducted on five real-world datasets. The results demonstrate that mSHINE outperforms other state-of-the-art HIN embedding methods.

A heterogeneous information network (HIN) has as vertices objects of different types and as edges the relations between objects, which are also of various types. We study the problem of classifying objects in HINs. Most existing methods perform poorly when given scarce labeled objects as training sets, and methods that improve classification accuracy under such scenarios are often computationally expensive. To address these problems, we propose ConCH, a graph neural network model. ConCH formulates the classification problem as a multi-task learning problem that combines semi-supervised learning with self-supervised learning to learn from both labeled and unlabeled data. ConCH employs meta-paths, which are sequences of object types that capture semantic relationships between objects. ConCH co-derives object embeddings and context embeddings via graph convolution. It also uses the attention mechanism to fuse such embeddings. We conduct extensive experiments to evaluate the performance of ConCH against other 15 classification methods. Our results show that ConCH is an effective and efficient method for HIN classification.
Graph neural networks have shown superior performance in a wide range of applications providing a powerful representation of graph-structured data. Recent works show that the representation can be further improved by auxiliary tasks. However, the auxiliary tasks for heterogeneous graphs, which contain rich semantic information with various types of nodes and edges, have less explored in the literature. In this paper, to learn graph neural networks on heterogeneous graphs we propose a novel self-supervised auxiliary learning method using meta-paths, which are composite relations of multiple edge types. Our proposed method is learning to learn a primary task by predicting meta-paths as auxiliary tasks. This can be viewed as a type of meta-learning. The proposed method can identify an effective combination of auxiliary tasks and automatically balance them to improve the primary task. Our methods can be applied to any graph neural networks in a plug-in manner without manual labeling or additional data. The experiments demonstrate that the proposed method consistently improves the performance of link prediction and node classification on heterogeneous graphs.
Heterogeneous Information Network (HIN) embedding refers to the low-dimensional projections of the HIN nodes that preserve the HIN structure and semantics. HIN embedding has emerged as a promising research field for network analysis as it enables downstream tasks such as clustering and node classification. In this work, we propose ours for joint learning of cluster embeddings as well as cluster-aware HIN embedding. We assume that the connected nodes are highly likely to fall in the same cluster, and adopt a variational approach to preserve the information in the pairwise relations in a cluster-aware manner. In addition, we deploy contrastive modules to simultaneously utilize the information in multiple meta-paths, thereby alleviating the meta-path selection problem - a challenge faced by many of the famous HIN embedding approaches. The HIN embedding, thus learned, not only improves the clustering performance but also preserves pairwise proximity as well as the high-order HIN structure. We show the effectiveness of our approach by comparing it with many competitive baselines on three real-world datasets on clustering and downstream node classification.
Meta-graph is currently the most powerful tool for similarity search on heterogeneous information networks,where a meta-graph is a composition of meta-paths that captures the complex structural information. However, current relevance computing based on meta-graph only considers the complex structural information, but ignores its embedded meta-paths information. To address this problem, we proposeMEta-GrAph-based network embedding models, called MEGA and MEGA++, respectively. The MEGA model uses normalized relevance or similarity measures that are derived from a meta-graph and its embedded meta-paths between nodes simultaneously, and then leverages tensor decomposition method to perform node embedding. The MEGA++ further facilitates the use of coupled tensor-matrix decomposition method to obtain a joint embedding for nodes, which simultaneously considers the hidden relations of all meta information of a meta-graph.Extensive experiments on two real datasets demonstrate thatMEGA and MEGA++ are more effective than state-of-the-art approaches.
Graph embedding is essential for graph mining tasks. With the prevalence of graph data in real-world applications, many methods have been proposed in recent years to learn high-quality graph embedding vectors various types of graphs. However, most existing methods usually randomly select the negative samples from the original graph to enhance the training data without considering the noise. In addition, most of these methods only focus on the explicit graph structures and cannot fully capture complex semantics of edges such as various relationships or asymmetry. In order to address these issues, we propose a robust and generalized framework for adversarial graph embedding based on generative adversarial networks. Inspired by generative adversarial network, we propose a robust and generalized framework for adversarial graph embedding, named AGE. AGE generates the fake neighbor nodes as the enhanced negative samples from the implicit distribution, and enables the discriminator and generator to jointly learn each nodes robust and generalized representation. Based on this framework, we propose three models to handle three types of graph data and derive the corresponding optimization algorithms, i.e., UG-AGE and DG-AGE for undirected and directed homogeneous graphs, respectively, and HIN-AGE for heterogeneous information networks. Extensive experiments show that our methods consistently and significantly outperform existing state-of-the-art methods across multiple graph mining tasks, including link prediction, node classification, and graph reconstruction.
