Also called network representation learning, graph embedding, knowledge embedding, etc.

The task is to learn the representations of the vertices from a given network.

CALL FOR HELP: I'm planning to re-organize the papers with clear classification index in the near future. Please feel free to submit a commit if you find any interesting related work:)
