This document discusses methods for learning representations of nodes in graphs and networks. It describes recent work that learns representations by mapping nodes based on their proximity in the graph, such that nearby nodes are close in the embedding space. However, these methods only consider structure and do not leverage node attributes. The document proposes a framework that learns universal representations based on both structure and attributes to enable inductive learning across graphs. It aims to map nodes based on their structural similarity and proximity while preserving attributes. This approach could generalize learned representations beyond a single input graph.
