Abstract

Graph representation learning aims at assigning nodes in a graph to low-dimensional representations and effectively preserving the graph structure. Recently, a significant amount of progresses have been made toward this emerging graph analysis paradigm. In this chapter, we first summarize the motivation of graph representation learning. Afterwards and primarily, we provide a comprehensive overview of a large number of graph representation learning methods in a systematic manner, covering the traditional graph representation learning, modern graph representation learning, and graph neural networks..
