Abstract
The massive number of research articles on the Web makes it troublesome for researchers to identify related works that could meet their preferences and interests. Consequently, various network representation learning-based models have been proposed to produce citation recommendations. Nevertheless, these models do not exploit semantic relations and contextual information between the objects of bibliographic papers’ networks, which can result in inadequate citation recommendations. Moreover, existing citation recommendation methods face problems such as lack of personalization, cold-start, and network sparsity. To mitigate such problems and produce individualized citation recommendations, we propose a heterogeneous network embedding model that jointly learns node representations by exploiting semantics corresponding to the author, time, context, field of study, citations, and topics. Compared to baseline models, the results produced by the proposed model over the DBLP datasets prove 10% and 12% improvement on mean average precision (MAP) and normalized discounted cumulative gain (nDCG@10) metrics, respectively. Also, the effectiveness of our model is analyzed on the cold-start papers and network sparsity problems, where it gains 12% and 9% better MAP and recall@10 scores, respectively.
