内容:

 Many objects in the real world are interconnected, forming complex heterogeneous but semi-structured information networks. Different from some studies on social network analysis where friendship networks or web page networks form homogeneous information networks, heterogeneous information networks reflect complex and structured relationships among multiple typed objects. For example, in a university network, objects of multiple types, such as students, professors, courses, departments, and multiple typed relationships, such as teach and advise are intertwined together, providing rich information.

 We explore new methodologies for mining hidden knowledge in such heterogeneous information networks, including integrated ranking and clustering, classification, data integration, trust analysis, role discovery and prediction. We show that structured information networks are informative, and link analysis on such networks is powerful at uncovering critical knowledge hidden in large networks. We also present a few promising research directions on mining heterogeneous information networks.
