Identifying influential nodes in heterogeneous networks

作者:

Highlights:

• An entropy-based method was proposed to measure the influence of nodes.

• The proposed method was extended to heterogeneous network meta-paths .

• The influence of each meta-path was considered separately.

• The proposed method was based on neighbors, meta-path instances and a combination.

• A criterion was introduced to evaluate our proposed approach with baseline methods.
