Neural Methods for Logical Reasoning Over Knowledge Graphs

Reasoning is a fundamental problem for computers and deeply studied in Artificial Intelligence. In this paper, we specifically focus on answering multi-hop logical queries on Knowledge Graphs (KGs). This is a complicated task because, in real-world scenarios, the graphs tend to be large and incomplete. Most previous works have been unable to create models that accept full First-Order Logical (FOL) queries, which include negative queries, and have only been able to process a limited set of query structures. Additionally, most methods present logic operators that can only perform the logical operation they are made for. We introduce a set of models that use Neural Networks to create one-point vector embeddings to answer the queries. The versatility of neural networks allows the framework to handle FOL queries with Conjunction ($\wedge$), Disjunction ($\vee$) and Negation ($\neg$) operators. We demonstrate experimentally the performance of our model through extensive experimentation on well-known benchmarking datasets. Besides having more versatile operators, the models achieve a 10\% relative increase over the best performing state of the art and more than 30\% over the original method based on single-point vector embeddings.
