Mining Knowledge from Interconnected Data: A Heterogeneous Information Network Analysis Approach

Summary: Recasts databases as heterogeneous information networks (HINs), emphasizing typed objects and links rather than repository-style storage. Surveys efficient mining methods that exploit these semantics to discover knowledge from complex, semi-structured interconnected data. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
