description The academic social networks (ASNs) play an important role in promoting scientific collaboration and innovation in academic society. Accompanying the tremendous growth of scholarly big data, finding suitable scholars on ASNs for collaboration has become more difficult. Different from friend recommendation in conventional social networks, scholar recommendation in ASNs usually involves different academic entities (e.g., scholars, scientific publications, and status updates) and various relationships (e.g., collaboration relationship between team members, citations, and co-authorships), which forms a complex heterogeneous academic network. Our goal is to recommend potential similar scholars for users in ASNs. In this article, we propose to design a graph embedding-based scholar recommendation system by leveraging academic auxiliary information.
