Transfer-and-Fusion: Integrated Link Prediction Across Knowledge Graphs

Abstract

Existing work on knowledge graph (KG) link prediction has primarily focused on a single KG. However, a single KG is often limited by its incompleteness, encompassing missing facts, entities, and relations. This limitation subsequently restricts the practicality, as it cannot handle the queries that involve missing entities or relations within the single KG. In this article, we explore an extended link prediction task, cross-KG link prediction, which answers queries using entities or relations integrated from other KGs. The crux of this problem is transferring knowledge across KGs and fusing their embedding spaces, which possess varying schemata. We develop a relation prototype graph to model the interactions among relations from different KGs. Based on this graph, we first propose a dual-view embedding learning module to fuse embedding spaces by training with instance facts and relation prototype edges. We then introduce an attention mechanism to highlight pivotal information for specific queries, recognizing that different KGs often emphasize various domains. Moreover, we devise an augmentation strategy to generate pseudo-cross-KG facts, facilitating knowledge transfer across KGs. Using four widely-used KGs, we construct two cross-KG link prediction datasets. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our model and the unique contributions of each module.
