Before revision:   Since there has already been a broad body of heterogeneous network embedding (HNE ) algorithmsbut no dedicated survey , as the first contribution of this work, we pioneer in providing a unified paradigm for the systematic categorization and analysis over the merits of various existing HNE algorithms.
After revision:  Since there has already been a broad body of heterogeneous network embedding (HNE ) algorithmsbut no dedicated survey , as the first contribution of this work, we provide a generic paradigm for the systematic categorization and analysis over the merits of various existing HNE algorithms.
