Drug repurposing is more relevant than ever due to drug development's rising costs and the need to respond to emerging diseases quickly. Knowledge graph embedding enables drug repurposing using heterogeneous data sources combined with state-of-the-art machine learning models to predict new drug-disease links in the knowledge graph. As in many machine learning applications, significant work is still required to understand the predictive models' behavior. We propose a structured methodology to understand better machine learning models' results for drug repurposing, suggesting key elements of the knowledge graph to improve predictions while saving computational resources. We reduce the training set of 11.05% and the embedding space by 31.87%, with only a 2% accuracy reduction, and increase accuracy by 60% on the open ogbl-biokg graph adding only 1.53% new triples.

Completion through the embedding representation of the knowledge graph (KGE) has been a research hotspot in recent years. Realistic knowledge graphs are mostly related to time, while most of the existing KGE algorithms ignore the time information. A few existing methods directly or indirectly encode the time information, ignoring the balance of timestamp distribution, which greatly limits the performance of temporal knowledge graph completion (KGC). In this paper, a temporal KGC method is proposed based on the direct encoding time information framework, and a given time slice is treated as the finest granularity for balanced timestamp distribution. A large number of experiments on temporal knowledge graph datasets extracted from the real world demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

In this work, we present a web-based annotation and querying tool Sangrahaka. It annotates entities and relationships from text corpora and constructs a knowledge graph (KG). The KG is queried using templatized natural language queries. The application is language and corpus agnostic, but can be tuned for special needs of a specific language or a corpus. A customized version of the framework has been used in two annotation tasks. The application is available for download and installation. Besides having a user-friendly interface, it is fast, supports customization, and is fault tolerant on both client and server side. The code is available at https://github.com/hrishikeshrt/sangrahaka and the presentation with a demo is available at https://youtu.be/nw9GFLVZMMo.

Knowledge graph completion (KGC) has become a focus of attention across deep learning community owing to its excellent contribution to numerous downstream tasks. Although recently have witnessed a surge of work on KGC, they are still insufficient to accurately capture complex relations, since they adopt the single and static representations. In this work, we propose a novel Disentangled Knowledge Graph Attention Network (DisenKGAT) for KGC, which leverages both micro-disentanglement and macro-disentanglement to exploit representations behind Knowledge graphs (KGs). To achieve micro-disentanglement, we put forward a novel relation-aware aggregation to learn diverse component representation. For macro-disentanglement, we leverage mutual information as a regularization to enhance independence. With the assistance of disentanglement, our model is able to generate adaptive representations in terms of the given scenario. Besides, our work has strong robustness and flexibility to adapt to various score functions. Extensive experiments on public benchmark datasets have been conducted to validate the superiority of DisenKGAT over existing methods in terms of both accuracy and explainability.

In the question answering(QA) task, multi-hop reasoning framework has been extensively studied in recent years to perform more efficient and interpretable answer reasoning on the Knowledge Graph(KG). However, multi-hop reasoning is inapplicable for answering n-ary fact questions due to its linear reasoning nature. We discover that there are two feasible improvements: 1) upgrade the basic reasoning unit from entity or relation to fact; and 2) upgrade the reasoning structure from chain to tree. Based on these, we propose a novel fact-tree reasoning framework, through transforming the question into a fact tree and performing iterative fact reasoning on it to predict the correct answer. Through a comprehensive evaluation on the n-ary fact KGQA dataset introduced by this work, we demonstrate that the proposed fact-tree reasoning framework has the desired advantage of high answer prediction accuracy. In addition, we also evaluate the fact-tree reasoning framework on two binary KGQA datasets and show that our approach also has a strong reasoning ability compared with several excellent baselines. This work has direct implications for exploring complex reasoning scenarios and provides a preliminary baseline approach.

The RDF2vec method for creating node embeddings on knowledge graphs is based on word2vec, which, in turn, is agnostic towards the position of context words. In this paper, we argue that this might be a shortcoming when training RDF2vec, and show that using a word2vec variant which respects order yields considerable performance gains especially on tasks where entities of different classes are involved.

Identifying political perspective in news media has become an important task due to the rapid growth of political commentary and the increasingly polarized ideologies. Previous approaches only focus on leveraging the semantic information and leaves out the rich social and political context that helps individuals understand political stances. In this paper, we propose a perspective detection method that incorporates external knowledge of real-world politics. Specifically, we construct a contemporary political knowledge graph with 1,071 entities and 10,703 triples. We then build a heterogeneous information network for each news document that jointly models article semantics and external knowledge in knowledge graphs. Finally, we apply gated relational graph convolutional networks and conduct political perspective detection as graph-level classification. Extensive experiments show that our method achieves the best performance and outperforms state-of-the-art methods by 5.49\%. Numerous ablation studies further bear out the necessity of external knowledge and the effectiveness of our graph-based approach.

And in both cases, the end goal of their knowledge graphs is similar--to add value to the vast amount of data out there such that it can be utilised more meaningfully and intelligently in a real-world context, ultimately producing much smarter user experiences. "The need to fit products into tabular structures limits their ability to flex to real-world needs," Capco noted in its June 2020 publication "Knowledge Graphs: Building Smarter Financial Services". And by enabling linkages between data items that would have otherwise remained disparate and siloed off from each other, moreover, knowledge graphs could represent crucial technology for helping to solve some of the world's most pressing and complex data-related challenges. The singular, centralised nature of such control can also elicit many serious privacy concerns for users, as was the case with Facebook and its notorious data-harvesting activities with Cambridge Analytica prior to the 2016 US presidential election. The knowledge graph also allows supply-chain entities to "granularly define who has access to what data--i.e., data can be made fully public, shared with specific supply chain partners, or completely private".

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is one of the richest openly available sources of volunteered geographic information. Although OSM includes various geographical entities, their descriptions are highly heterogeneous, incomplete, and do not follow any well-defined ontology. Knowledge graphs can potentially provide valuable semantic information to enrich OSM entities. However, interlinking OSM entities with knowledge graphs is inherently difficult due to the large, heterogeneous, ambiguous, and flat OSM schema and the annotation sparsity. This paper tackles the alignment of OSM tags with the corresponding knowledge graph classes holistically by jointly considering the schema and instance layers. We propose a novel neural architecture that capitalizes upon a shared latent space for tag-to-class alignment created using linked entities in OSM and knowledge graphs. Our experiments performed to align OSM datasets for several countries with two of the most prominent openly available knowledge graphs, namely, Wikidata and DBpedia, demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art schema alignment baselines by up to 53 percentage points in terms of F1-score. The resulting alignment facilitates new semantic annotations for over 10 million OSM entities worldwide, which is more than a 400% increase compared to the existing semantic annotations in OSM.
