Before revision:  In this work, we analyse 17 network embedding methods on 7 real-world datasets and find , using a consistent evaluation pipeline,  only thin progress over the recent years. Also, many embedding methodsare outperformed by simple heuristics.
After revision:  In this work, we analyse 17 network embedding methods on 7 real-world datasets and find , using a consistent evaluation pipeline, only thin progress has been made over the last years. The newly conducted benchmark that we present here, including 17 embedding methods, also shows that many approaches are outperformed even by simple heuristics.
