Abstract:
Knowledge is power but for interrelated data, knowledge is often
hidden in massive links. We explore the power of links at mining
heterogeneous information networks and introduce a new line of
research, called RankClus, that integrates clustering and ranking
and explores its power at mining heterogeneous information networks.
We show that the method has its unique power at clustering
interrelated data and demonstrate the power of RankClus and its
extensions at mining some real information networks. We also
discuss several of our on-going studies in this direction.
