A Dynamic Heterogeneous Information Network Embedding Method Based on Meta-Path and Improved Rotate Model

Aiming at the current situation of network embedding research focusing on dynamic homogeneous network embedding and static heterogeneous information network embedding but lack of dynamic information utilization, this paper proposes a dynamic heterogeneous information network embedding method based on the meta-path and improved Rotate model; this method first uses metapaths to model the semantic relationships involved in the heterogeneous information network, then uses GCNs to get local node embedding, and finally uses meta-path-level aggression mechanisms to aggregate local representations of nodes, which can solve the heterogeneous information utilization issues. In addition, a temporal processing component based on a time decay function is designed, which can effectively handle temporal information. The experimental results on two real datasets show that the method has good performance in networks with different characteristics. Compared to current mainstream methods, the accuracy of downstream clustering and node classification tasks can be improved by 0.5 similar to 41.8%, which significantly improves the quality of embedding, and it also has a shorter running time than most comparison algorithms.
