Knowledge graph entity typing (KGET) is a task to predict the missing entity types in knowledge graphs (KG). Previously, KG embedding (KGE) methods tried to solve the KGET task by introducing an auxiliary relation, 'hasType', to model the relationship between entities and their types. However, a single auxiliary relation has limited expressiveness for diverse entity-type patterns. We improve the expressiveness of KGE methods by introducing multiple auxiliary relations in this work. Similar entity types are grouped to reduce the number of auxiliary relations and improve their capability to model entity-type patterns with different granularities. With the presence of multiple auxiliary relations, we propose a method adopting an Asynchronous learning scheme for Entity Typing, named AsyncET, which updates the entity and type embeddings alternatively to keep the learned entity embedding up-to-date and informative for entity type prediction. Experiments are conducted on two commonly used KGET datasets to show that the performance of KGE methods on the KGET task can be substantially improved by the proposed multiple auxiliary relations and asynchronous embedding learning. Furthermore, our method has a significant advantage over state-of-the-art methods in model sizes and time complexity.

Multi-label network classification is a well-known task that is being used in a wide variety of web-based and non-web-based domains. It can be formalized as a multi-relational learning task for predicting nodes labels based on their relations within the network. In sparse networks, this prediction task can be very challenging when only implicit feedback information is available such as in predicting user interests in social networks. Current approaches rely on learning per-node latent representations by utilizing the network structure, however, implicit feedback relations are naturally sparse and contain only positive observed feedbacks which mean that these approaches will treat all observed relations as equally important. This is not necessarily the case in real-world scenarios as implicit relations might have semantic weights which reflect the strength of those relations. If those weights can be approximated, the models can be trained to differentiate between strong and weak relations. In this paper, we propose a weighted personalized two-stage multi-relational matrix factorization model with Bayesian personalized ranking loss for network classification that utilizes basic transitive node similarity function for weighting implicit feedback relations. Experiments show that the proposed model significantly outperforms the state-of-art models on three different real-world web-based datasets and a biology-based dataset.
