As a crucial data source in heterogeneous networks, Node attribute information plays a vital role in Web data mining. Analyzing and leveraging node attributes is essential in heterogeneous network representation learning. In this context, this paper aims to propose a novel attribute-aware heterogeneous information network representation learning algorithm, AAHIN, which incorporates two key strategies: an attribute information coverage-aware random walk strategy and a node-influence-based attribute aggregation strategy.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>First, the transition probability of the next node is determined by comparing the attribute similarity between historical nodes and prewalk nodes in a random walk, and nodes with dissimilar attributes are selected to increase the information coverage of different attributes. Then, the representation is enhanced by aggregating the attribute information of different types of high-order neighbors. Additionally, the neighbor attribute information is aggregated by emphasizing the varying influence of each neighbor node.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This paper conducted comprehensive experiments on three real heterogeneous attribute networks, highlighting the superior performance of the AAHIN model over other baseline methods.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This paper proposes an attribute-aware random walk strategy to enhance attribute coverage and walk randomness, improving the quality of walk sequences. A node-influence-based attribute aggregation method is introduced, aggregating neighboring node attributes while preserving the information from different types of high-order neighbors.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/ijwis-11-2024-0329","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,28]],"date-time":"2025-02-28T02:06:26Z","timestamp":1740708386000},"page":"158-179","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["AAHIN: attribute-aware heterogeneous information network representation learning for data mining"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Ling","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yanru","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jinlu","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Kun","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,4]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"key2025030706125198200_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"79","DOI":"10.1108\/IJWIS-06-2019-0030","article-title":"A new algorithm for detecting communities in social networks based on content and structure information","volume":"16","year":"2019","journal-title":"International Journal of Web Information Systems"},{"issue":"8","key":"key2025030706125198200_ref002","first-page":"1548","article-title":"Graph regularized nonnegative matrix factorization for data representation","volume":"33","year":"2010","journal-title":"IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence"},{"issue":"9","key":"key2025030706125198200_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"P09008","DOI":"10.1088\/1742-5468\/2005\/09\/P09008","article-title":"Comparing community structure identification","volume":"2005","year":"2005","journal-title":"Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment"},{"first-page":"135","article-title":"Metapath2vec: scalable representation learning for heterogeneous networks","year":"2017","key":"key2025030706125198200_ref004"},{"issue":"21","key":"key2025030706125198200_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"25626","DOI":"10.1007\/s10489-023-04840-w","article-title":"An interlayer feature fusion-based heterogeneous graph neural network","volume":"53","year":"2023","journal-title":"Applied Intelligence"},{"key":"key2025030706125198200_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"266","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neunet.2023.11.030","article-title":"Mecch: metapath context convolution-based heterogeneous graph neural networks","volume":"170","year":"2024","journal-title":"Neural Networks"},{"first-page":"2331","article-title":"Magnn: metapath aggregated graph neural network for heterogeneous graph embedding","year":"2020","key":"key2025030706125198200_ref007"},{"issue":"5","key":"key2025030706125198200_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"520","DOI":"10.1108\/IJWIS-06-2024-0178","article-title":"SMAR: self-supervised mobile application recommendation based on graph convolutional networks","volume":"20","year":"2024","journal-title":"International Journal of Web Information Systems"},{"issue":"11","key":"key2025030706125198200_ref009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"139","DOI":"10.1145\/3422622","article-title":"Generative adversarial networks","volume":"63","year":"2020","journal-title":"Communications of the ACM"},{"key":"key2025030706125198200_ref010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110930","DOI":"10.1016\/j.knosys.2023.110930","article-title":"HMSG: heterogeneous graph neural network based on metapath subgraph learning","volume":"279","year":"2023","journal-title":"Knowledge-Based Systems"},{"key":"key2025030706125198200_ref011","first-page":"52","article-title":"Representation learning on graphs: methods and applications","volume":"40","year":"2017","journal-title":"IEEE Data Eng.
