Convolutional models with multi-feature fusion for effective link prediction in knowledge graph embedding

Abstract

Link prediction remains paramount in knowledge graph embedding (KGE), aiming to discern obscured or non-manifest relationships within a given knowledge graph (KG). Despite the critical nature of this endeavor, contemporary methodologies grapple with notable constraints, predominantly in terms of computational overhead and the intricacy of encapsulating multifaceted relationships. This paper introduces a sophisticated approach that amalgamates convolutional operators with pertinent graph structural information. By meticulously integrating information pertinent to entities and their immediate relational neighbors, we enhance the performance of the convolutional model, culminating in an averaged embedding ensuing from the convolution across entities and their proximal nodes. Significantly, our methodology presents a distinctive avenue, facilitating the inclusion of edge-specific data into the convolutional model’s input, thus endowing users with the latitude to calibrate the model’s architecture and parameters congruent with their specific dataset. Empirical evaluations underscore the ascendancy of our proposition over extant convolution-based link prediction benchmarks, particularly evident across the FB15k, WN18, and YAGO3-10 datasets. The primary objective of this research lies in forging KGE link prediction methodologies imbued with heightened efficiency and adeptness, thereby addressing salient challenges inherent to real-world applications.
