A Survey of Complex Network Representation Learning Methods

Published:16 November 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

Network representation learning is a technique that embeds the nodes in a network into a low-dimensional vector space, providing strong support for network analysis tasks such as node classification, link prediction, and community detection. This paper provides a summary of the research in the field of network representation learning in recent years. Firstly, the definition of network representation learning is introduced. Then, traditional network representation learning methods are presented, including matrix factorization-based methods, random walk-based methods, and neural network-based methods. However, traditional network representation learning methods can only be applicable to the traditional networks abstracted as the graphs and not applicable to the hypernetworks abstracted as the hypergraphs. Therefore, this paper also introduces hypernetwork representation learning methods, including homogeneous hypernetwork representation learning and heterogeneous hypernetwork representation learning. Finally, this paper summarizes future research directions in network representation learning.
