Abstract

In consideration of most signed network embeddings only focusing on the low-order neighbors of the target node, they fail to make effective use of the high-order neighbors of the target node, and the link direction and sign of the node neighbors will affect the target node to varying degrees. Therefore, a SNEMA model using structure balance theory a multi head attention mechanism to aggregate high-order neighbors is proposed. The model gathers the information of high-order neighbors based on structural balance theory, captures node neighbors of different structure types through a multi head attention mechanism, obtains the low-dimensional feature vector representation of nodes through processing and learning, and applies the obtained network representation to the downstream task of link prediction. The experimental results on four real social network data sets show that the network representation obtained by the SNEMA model helps to improve the accuracy of link prediction, which shows that the SNEMA model has achieved better results in signed network representation learning.
