Multiview Translation Learning for Knowledge Graph Embedding

Abstract EN

Recently, knowledge graph embedding methods have attracted numerous researchers’ interest due to their outstanding effectiveness and robustness in knowledge representation.

However, there are still some limitations in the existing methods.

On the one hand, translation-based representation models focus on conceiving translation principles to represent knowledge from a global perspective, while they fail to learn various types of relational facts discriminatively.

It is prone to make the entity congestion of complex relational facts in the embedding space reducing the precision of representation vectors associating with entities.

On the other hand, parallel subgraphs extracted from the original graph are used to learn local relational facts discriminatively.

However, it probably causes the relational fact damage of the original knowledge graph to some degree during the subgraph extraction.

Thus, previous methods are unable to learn local and global knowledge representation uniformly.

To that end, we propose a multiview translation learning model, named MvTransE, which learns relational facts from global-view and local-view perspectives, respectively.

Specifically, we first construct multiple parallel subgraphs from an original knowledge graph by considering entity semantic and structural features simultaneously.

Then, we embed the original graph and construct subgraphs into the corresponding global and local feature spaces.

Finally, we propose a multiview fusion strategy to integrate multiview representations of relational facts.

Extensive experiments on four public datasets demonstrate the superiority of our model in knowledge graph representation tasks compared to state-of-the-art methods.
