In recent years, network embedding methods have garnered increasing attention because of their effectiveness in various information retrieval tasks. The goal is to learn low-dimensional representations of vertexes in an information network and simultaneously capture and preserve the network structure. Critical to the performance of a network embedding method is how the edges/vertexes of the network is sampled for the learning process. Many existing methods adopt a uniform sampling method to reduce learning complexity, but when the network is non-uniform (i.e. a weighted network) such uniform sampling incurs information loss. The goal of this paper is to present a generalized vertex sampling framework that works seamlessly with most existing network embedding methods to support weighted instead of uniform vertex/edge sampling. For efficiency, we propose a delicate sequential vertex-to-context graph data structure, such that sampling a training pair for learning takes only constant time. For scalability and memory efficiency, we design the graph data structure in a way that keeps space consumption low without requiring additional space. In addition to implementing existing network embedding methods, the proposed framework can be used to implement extensions that feature high-order proximity modeling and weighted relation modeling. Experiments conducted on three datasets, including a commercial large-scale one, verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed weighted network embedding methods on a variety of tasks, including word similarity search, multi-label classification, and item recommendation.

User representation learning is vital to capture diverse user preferences, while it is also challenging as user intents are latent and scattered among complex and different modalities of user-generated data, thus, not directly measurable. Inspired by the concept of user schema in social psychology, we take a new perspective to perform user representation learning by constructing a shared latent space to capture the dependency among different modalities of user-generated data. Both users and topics are embedded to the same space to encode users social connections and text content, to facilitate joint modeling of different modalities, via a probabilistic generative framework. We evaluated the proposed solution on large collections of Yelp reviews and StackOverflow discussion posts, with their associated network structures. The proposed model outperformed several state-of-the-art topic modeling based user models with better predictive power in unseen documents, and state-of-the-art network embedding based user models with improved link prediction quality in unseen nodes. The learnt user representations are also proved to be useful in content recommendation, e.g., expert finding in StackOverflow.
Sampling a network is an important prerequisite for unsupervised network embedding. Further, random walk has widely been used for sampling in previous studies. Since random walk based sampling tends to traverse adjacent neighbors, it may not be suita ble for heterogeneous network because in heterogeneous networks two adjacent nodes often belong to different types. Therefore, this paper proposes a K-hop random walk based sampling approach which includes a node in the sample list only if it is separated by K hops from the source node. We exploit the samples generated using K-hop random walker for network embedding using skip-gram model (word2vec). Thereafter, the performance of network embedding is evaluated on co-authorship prediction task in heterogeneous DBLP network. We compare the efficacy of network embedding exploiting proposed sampling approach with recently proposed best performing network embedding models namely, Metapath2vec and Node2vec. It is evident that the proposed sampling approach yields better quality of embeddings and out-performs baselines in majority of the cases.

Understanding the correlation between two different scores for the same set of items is a common problem in information retrieval, and the most commonly used statistics that quantifies this correlation is Kendalls $tau$. However, the standard definit ion fails to capture that discordances between items with high rank are more important than those between items with low rank. Recently, a new measure of correlation based on average precision has been proposed to solve this problem, but like many alternative proposals in the literature it assumes that there are no ties in the scores. This is a major deficiency in a number of contexts, and in particular while comparing centrality scores on large graphs, as the obvious baseline, indegree, has a very large number of ties in web and social graphs. We propose to extend Kendalls definition in a natural way to take into account weights in the presence of ties. We prove a number of interesting mathematical properties of our generalization and describe an $O(nlog n)$ algorithm for its computation. We also validate the usefulness of our weighted measure of correlation using experimental data.
Neural node embeddings have recently emerged as a powerful representation for supervised learning tasks involving graph-structured data. We leverage this recent advance to develop a novel algorithm for unsupervised community discovery in graphs. Thro ugh extensive experimental studies on simulated and real-world data, we demonstrate that the proposed approach consistently improves over the current state-of-the-art. Specifically, our approach empirically attains the information-theoretic limits for community recovery under the benchmark Stochastic Block Models for graph generation and exhibits better stability and accuracy over both Spectral Clustering and Acyclic Belief Propagation in the community recovery limits.

Attributed networks are ubiquitous since a network often comes with auxiliary attribute information e.g. a social network with user profiles. Attributed Network Embedding (ANE) has recently attracted considerable attention, which aims to learn unifie d low dimensional node embeddings while preserving both structural and attribute information. The resulting node embeddings can then facilitate various network downstream tasks e.g. link prediction. Although there are several ANE methods, most of them cannot deal with incomplete attributed networks with missing links and/or missing node attributes, which often occur in real-world scenarios. To address this issue, we propose a robust ANE method, the general idea of which is to reconstruct a unified denser network by fusing two sources of information for information enhancement, and then employ a random walks based network embedding method for learning node embeddings. The experiments of link prediction, node classification, visualization, and parameter sensitivity analysis on six real-world datasets validate the effectiveness of our method to incomplete attributed networks.
