Recommenders are increasingly used in domains where items have limited availability, such as the job market, where congestion is especially problematic: Recommending a vacancy -- for which typically only one person will be hired -- to a large number of job seekers may lead to frustration for job seekers, as they may be applying for jobs where they are not hired.

For tasks for which prior expert topological knowledge is available, incorporating this into the learned representation may lead to higher quality embeddings.

Previously, it has been argued that neighborhood queries become meaningless and unstable when distance concentration occurs, which means that there is a poor relative discrimination between the furthest and closest neighbors in the data.

However, these methods lack transparency when compared to simpler baselines, and as a result their robustness against adversarial attacks is a possible point of concern: could one or a few small adversarial modifications to the network have a large impact on the link prediction performance when using a network embedding model?

Network embedding methods map a network's nodes to vectors in an embedding space, in such a way that these representations are useful for estimating some notion of similarity or proximity between pairs of nodes in the network.

First, a counterfactual example generated by the state-of-the-art systems is not necessarily representative of the underlying data distribution, and may therefore prescribe unachievable goals(e. g., an unsuccessful life insurance applicant with severe disability may be advised to do more sports).
