An Interpretable Knowledge Transfer Model for Knowledge Base Completion
Knowledge bases are important resources for a variety of natural language
processing tasks but suffer from incompleteness. We propose a novel embedding
model, \emph{ITransF}, to perform knowledge base completion. Equipped with a
sparse attention mechanism, ITransF discovers hidden concepts of relations and
transfer statistical strength through the sharing of concepts. Moreover, the
learned associations between relations and concepts, which are represented by
sparse attention vectors, can be interpreted easily. We evaluate ITransF on two
benchmark datasets---WN18 and FB15k for knowledge base completion and obtains
improvements on both the mean rank and Hits@10 metrics, over all baselines that
do not use additional information.Comment: Accepted by ACL 2017. Minor updat
Interpreting Embedding Models of Knowledge Bases: A Pedagogical Approach
Knowledge bases are employed in a variety of applications from natural
language processing to semantic web search; alas, in practice their usefulness
is hurt by their incompleteness. Embedding models attain state-of-the-art
accuracy in knowledge base completion, but their predictions are notoriously
hard to interpret. In this paper, we adapt "pedagogical approaches" (from the
literature on neural networks) so as to interpret embedding models by
extracting weighted Horn rules from them. We show how pedagogical approaches
have to be adapted to take upon the large-scale relational aspects of knowledge
bases and show experimentally their strengths and weaknesses.Comment: presented at 2018 ICML Workshop on Human Interpretability in Machine
