Estimating Network Flowing over Edges by Recursive Network Embedding by Liqun Yu, Hongqi Wang, Haoran Mo

“…We propose to embed the nodes to a continuous vector space so that the embedding vector of each node can be reconstructed from its neighbors by a recursive neural network model, linear normalized long short-term memory. Moreover, we argue that the value of each node is also embedded in the embedding vectors of its neighbors, thus propose to approximate the node value from the output of the neighborhood recursive network. …”
