This work introduces distributional relational networks (DRNs), a knowledge representation (KR) framework which focuses on allowing semantic approximations over large-scale and heterogeneous knowledge bases. The proposed model uses the distributional semantics information embedded in large text/data corpora to provide a comprehensive and principled solution for semantic approximation. DRNs can be applied to open domain knowledge bases and can be used as a KR model for commonsense reasoning. Experimental results show the suitability of DRNs as a semantically flexible KR framework.
