Efficient Parallel Translating Embedding For Knowledge Graphs
Knowledge graph embedding aims to embed entities and relations of knowledge
graphs into low-dimensional vector spaces. Translating embedding methods regard
relations as the translation from head entities to tail entities, which achieve
the state-of-the-art results among knowledge graph embedding methods. However,
a major limitation of these methods is the time consuming training process,
which may take several days or even weeks for large knowledge graphs, and
result in great difficulty in practical applications. In this paper, we propose
an efficient parallel framework for translating embedding methods, called
ParTrans-X, which enables the methods to be paralleled without locks by
utilizing the distinguished structures of knowledge graphs. Experiments on two
datasets with three typical translating embedding methods, i.e., TransE [3],
TransH [17], and a more efficient variant TransE- AdaGrad [10] validate that
ParTrans-X can speed up the training process by more than an order of
magnitude.Comment: WI 2017: 460-46
Interaction Embeddings for Prediction and Explanation in Knowledge Graphs
Knowledge graph embedding aims to learn distributed representations for
entities and relations, and is proven to be effective in many applications.
Crossover interactions --- bi-directional effects between entities and
relations --- help select related information when predicting a new triple, but
haven't been formally discussed before. In this paper, we propose CrossE, a
novel knowledge graph embedding which explicitly simulates crossover
interactions. It not only learns one general embedding for each entity and
relation as most previous methods do, but also generates multiple triple
specific embeddings for both of them, named interaction embeddings. We evaluate
embeddings on typical link prediction tasks and find that CrossE achieves
state-of-the-art results on complex and more challenging datasets. Furthermore,
we evaluate embeddings from a new perspective --- giving explanations for
predicted triples, which is important for real applications. In this work, an
explanation for a triple is regarded as a reliable closed-path between the head
and the tail entity. Compared to other baselines, we show experimentally that
CrossE, benefiting from interaction embeddings, is more capable of generating
reliable explanations to support its predictions.Comment: This paper is accepted by WSDM201
