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:  In this work, we aim to provide a unified framework to deeply summarize and evaluate existing research on heterogeneous network embedding (HNE), which includes but goes beyond a normal survey. 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.
