Abstract

Network embedding, which learns a low-dimensional representation for each node in a network, has been proved to be highly effective for a variety of downstream tasks. In this paper, we propose a novel Fusion-based Attributed Network Embedding framework (FANE), which consists of two modules. The first is the feature-learning module, in which we propose a general and scalable method SparseAE to embed different types of information (structure, attribute, etc.) into separate low-dimensional vectors. The second is the feature-fusion module, which learns the fused embedding vector to capture the underlying relationships between different types of information for downstream prediction tasks. Extensive experiments on multiple real-world datasets show that our method can outperform several state-of-the-art methods in many downstream tasks, including node classification and link prediction.
