PathSim: Meta Path-Based Top-K Similarity Search in Heterogeneous Information Networks
Summary: Introduces meta path-based similarity for same-type objects in heterogeneous networks, capturing relation-specific semantics via PathSim rather than generic random walks. Accelerates top-k queries by partially materializing short meta paths and concatenating them online. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
