A survey on bipartite graphs embedding

Abstract

Abstract Research on graph representation learning (a.k.a. embedding) has received great attention in recent years and shows effective results for various types of networks. Nevertheless, few initiatives have been focused on the particular case of embeddings for bipartite graphs. In this paper, we first define the graph embedding problem in the case of bipartite graphs. Next, we propose a taxonomy of approaches used to tackle this problem and draw a description of state-of-the-art methods. Then, we establish their pros and cons with respect to conventional network embeddings. Finally, we provide a description of available resources to lead experiments on the subject.
