Knowledge representation learning has received a lot of attention in the past few years. The success of existing methods heavily relies on the quality of knowledge graphs. The entities with few triplets tend to be learned with less expressive power. Fortunately, there are many knowledge graphs constructed from various sources, the representations of which could contain much information. We propose an adversarial embedding transfer network ATransN, which transfers knowledge from one or more teacher knowledge graphs to a target one through an aligned entity set without explicit data leakage. Specifically, we add soft constraints on aligned entity pairs and neighbours to the existing knowledge representation learning methods. To handle the problem of possible distribution differences between teacher and target knowledge graphs, we introduce an adversarial adaption module. The discriminator of this module evaluates the degree of consistency between the embeddings of an aligned entity pair. The consistency score is then used as the weights of soft constraints. It is not necessary to acquire the relations and triplets in teacher knowledge graphs because we only utilize the entity representations. Knowledge graph completion results show that ATransN achieves better performance against baselines without transfer on three datasets, CN3l, WK3l, and DWY100k. The ablation study demonstrates that ATransN can bring steady and consistent improvement in different settings. The extension of combining other knowledge graph embedding algorithms and the extension with three teacher graphs display the promising generalization of the adversarial transfer network.

Aiming at expanding few-shot relations' coverage in knowledge graphs (KGs), few-shot knowledge graph completion (FKGC) has recently gained more research interests. Some existing models employ a few-shot relation's multi-hop neighbor information to enhance its semantic representation. However, noise neighbor information might be amplified when the neighborhood is excessively sparse and no neighbor is available to represent the few-shot relation. Moreover, modeling and inferring complex relations of one-to-many (1-N), many-to-one (N-1), and many-to-many (N-N) by previous knowledge graph completion approaches requires high model complexity and a large amount of training instances. Thus, inferring complex relations in the few-shot scenario is difficult for FKGC models due to limited training instances. In this paper, we propose a few-shot relational learning with global-local framework to address the above issues. At the global stage, a novel gated and attentive neighbor aggregator is built for accurately integrating the semantics of a few-shot relation's neighborhood, which helps filtering the noise neighbors even if a KG contains extremely sparse neighborhoods. For the local stage, a meta-learning based TransH (MTransH) method is designed to model complex relations and train our model in a few-shot learning fashion. Extensive experiments show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art FKGC approaches on the frequently-used benchmark datasets NELL-One and Wiki-One. Compared with the strong baseline model MetaR, our model achieves 5-shot FKGC performance improvements of 8.0% on NELL-One and 2.8% on Wiki-One by the metric Hits@10.

The goal of entity matching in knowledge graphs is to identify entities that refer to the same real-world objects using some similarity metric. The result of entity matching can be seen as a set of entity pairs interpreted as the same-as relation. However, the identified set of pairs may fail to satisfy some structural properties, in particular transitivity, that are expected from the same-as relation. In this work, we show that an ad-hoc enforcement of transitivity, i.e. taking the transitive closure, on the identified set of entity pairs may decrease precision dramatically. We therefore propose a methodology that starts with a given similarity measure, generates a set of entity pairs that are identified as referring to the same real-world objects, and applies the cluster editing algorithm to enforce transitivity without adding many spurious links, leading to overall improved performance.

Knowledge Graph (KG) reasoning that predicts missing facts for incomplete KGs has been widely explored. However, reasoning over Temporal KG (TKG) that predicts facts in the future is still far from resolved. The key to predict future facts is to thoroughly understand the historical facts. A TKG is actually a sequence of KGs corresponding to different timestamps, where all concurrent facts in each KG exhibit structural dependencies and temporally adjacent facts carry informative sequential patterns. To capture these properties effectively and efficiently, we propose a novel Recurrent Evolution network based on Graph Convolution Network (GCN), called RE-GCN, which learns the evolutional representations of entities and relations at each timestamp by modeling the KG sequence recurrently. Specifically, for the evolution unit, a relation-aware GCN is leveraged to capture the structural dependencies within the KG at each timestamp. In order to capture the sequential patterns of all facts in parallel, the historical KG sequence is modeled auto-regressively by the gate recurrent components. Moreover, the static properties of entities such as entity types, are also incorporated via a static graph constraint component to obtain better entity representations. Fact prediction at future timestamps can then be realized based on the evolutional entity and relation representations. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the RE-GCN model obtains substantial performance and efficiency improvement for the temporal reasoning tasks on six benchmark datasets. Especially, it achieves up to 11.46\% improvement in MRR for entity prediction with up to 82 times speedup comparing to the state-of-the-art baseline.

Integrating external knowledge into commonsense reasoning tasks has shown progress in resolving some, but not all, knowledge gaps in these tasks. For knowledge integration to yield peak performance, it is critical to select a knowledge graph (KG) that is well-aligned with the given task's objective. We present an approach to assess how well a candidate KG can correctly identify and accurately fill in gaps of reasoning for a task, which we call KG-to-task match. We show this KG-to-task match in 3 phases: knowledge-task identification, knowledge-task alignment, and knowledge-task integration. We also analyze our transformer-based KG-to-task models via commonsense probes to measure how much knowledge is captured in these models before and after KG integration. Empirically, we investigate KG matches for the SocialIQA (SIQA) (Sap et al., 2019b), Physical IQA (PIQA) (Bisk et al., 2020), and MCScript2.0 (Ostermann et al., 2019) datasets with 3 diverse KGs: ATOMIC (Sap et al., 2019a), ConceptNet (Speer et al., 2017), and an automatically constructed instructional KG based on WikiHow (Koupaee and Wang, 2018). With our methods we are able to demonstrate that ATOMIC, an event-inference focused KG, is the best match for SIQA and MCScript2.0, and that the taxonomic ConceptNet and WikiHow-based KGs are the best matches for PIQA across all 3 analysis phases. We verify our methods and findings with human evaluation.

KGC is Community Driven and built to create space for interaction and networking. KGC crafts dedicated time slots enabling access to conference speakers into the program. The program includes multiple special events, such as the second KGC Startup Investor pitch, a joint industry survey results on Knowledge Graphs and wellness events such as meditation and yoga!

Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC) predicts missing facts in an incomplete Knowledge Graph. Almost all of existing KGC research is applicable to only one KG at a time, and in one language only. However, different language speakers may maintain separate KGs in their language and no individual KG is expected to be complete. Moreover, common entities or relations in these KGs have different surface forms and IDs, leading to ID proliferation. Entity alignment (EA) and relation alignment (RA) tasks resolve this by recognizing pairs of entity (relation) IDs in different KGs that represent the same entity (relation). This can further help prediction of missing facts, since knowledge from one KG is likely to benefit completion of another. High confidence predictions may also add valuable information for the alignment tasks. In response, we study the novel task of jointly training multilingual KGC, relation alignment and entity alignment models. We present ALIGNKGC, which uses some seed alignments to jointly optimize all three of KGC, EA and RA losses. A key component of ALIGNKGC is an embedding based soft notion of asymmetric overlap defined on the (subject, object) set signatures of relations this aids in better predicting relations that are equivalent to or implied by other relations. Extensive experiments with DBPedia in five languages establish the benefits of joint training for all tasks, achieving 10-32 MRR improvements of ALIGNKGC over a strong state-of-the-art single-KGC system completion model over each monolingual KG . Further, ALIGNKGC achieves reasonable gains in EA and RA tasks over a vanilla completion model over a KG that combines all facts without alignment, underscoring the value of joint training for these tasks.

Knowledge Graph Embeddings (KGEs) have been intensively explored in recent years due to their promise for a wide range of applications. However, existing studies focus on improving the final model performance without acknowledging the computational cost of the proposed approaches, in terms of execution time and environmental impact. This paper proposes a simple yet effective KGE framework which can reduce the training time and carbon footprint by orders of magnitudes compared with state-of-the-art approaches, while producing competitive performance. We highlight three technical innovations: full batch learning via relational matrices, closed-form Orthogonal Procrustes Analysis for KGEs, and non-negative-sampling training. In addition, as the first KGE method whose entity embeddings also store full relation information, our trained models encode rich semantics and are highly interpretable. Comprehensive experiments and ablation studies involving 13 strong baselines and two standard datasets verify the effectiveness and efficiency of our algorithm.

We introduce a method to find network motifs in knowledge graphs. Network motifs are useful patterns or meaningful subunits of the graph that recur frequently. We extend the common definition of a network motif to coincide with a basic graph pattern. We introduce an approach, inspired by recent work for simple graphs, to induce these from a given knowledge graph, and show that the motifs found reflect the basic structure of the graph. Specifically, we show that in random graphs, no motifs are found, and that when we insert a motif artificially, it can be detected. Finally, we show the results of motif induction on three real-world knowledge graphs.

Knowledge graphs have become increasingly popular supplemental information because they represented structural relations between entities. Knowledge graph embedding methods (KGE) are used for various downstream tasks, e.g., knowledge graph completion, including triple classification, link prediction. However, the knowledge graph also includes much sensitive information in the training set, which is very vulnerable to privacy attacks. In this paper, we conduct such one attack, i.e., membership inference attack, on four standard KGE methods to explore the privacy vulnerabilities of knowledge graphs. Our experimental results on four benchmark knowledge graph datasets show that our privacy attacks can reveal the membership information leakage of KGE methods.
