This book offers researchers an understanding of the fundamental issues
and a good starting point to work on this rapidly expanding field. It
provides a comprehensive survey of current developments of heterogeneous
information network. It also presents the newest research in
applications of heterogeneous information networks to similarity search,
ranking, clustering, recommendation.
This information will help researchers to understand how to analyze
networked data with heterogeneous information networks. Common data
mining tasks are explored, including similarity search, ranking, and
recommendation. The book illustrates some prototypes which analyze
networked data.
Professionals and academics working in data analytics, networks, machine
learning, and data mining will find this content valuable. It is also
suitable for advanced-level students in computer science who are
interested in networking or pattern recognition.
