Neighborhood Matching Network for Entity Alignment
Structural heterogeneity between knowledge graphs is an outstanding challenge
for entity alignment. This paper presents Neighborhood Matching Network (NMN),
a novel entity alignment framework for tackling the structural heterogeneity
challenge. NMN estimates the similarities between entities to capture both the
topological structure and the neighborhood difference. It provides two
innovative components for better learning representations for entity alignment.
It first uses a novel graph sampling method to distill a discriminative
neighborhood for each entity. It then adopts a cross-graph neighborhood
matching module to jointly encode the neighborhood difference for a given
entity pair. Such strategies allow NMN to effectively construct
matching-oriented entity representations while ignoring noisy neighbors that
have a negative impact on the alignment task. Extensive experiments performed
on three entity alignment datasets show that NMN can well estimate the
neighborhood similarity in more tough cases and significantly outperforms 12
previous state-of-the-art methods.Comment: 11 pages, accepted by ACL 202
Visual Pivoting for (Unsupervised) Entity Alignment
This work studies the use of visual semantic representations to align
entities in heterogeneous knowledge graphs (KGs). Images are natural components
of many existing KGs. By combining visual knowledge with other auxiliary
information, we show that the proposed new approach, EVA, creates a holistic
entity representation that provides strong signals for cross-graph entity
alignment. Besides, previous entity alignment methods require human labelled
seed alignment, restricting availability. EVA provides a completely
unsupervised solution by leveraging the visual similarity of entities to create
an initial seed dictionary (visual pivots). Experiments on benchmark data sets
DBP15k and DWY15k show that EVA offers state-of-the-art performance on both
monolingual and cross-lingual entity alignment tasks. Furthermore, we discover
that images are particularly useful to align long-tail KG entities, which
inherently lack the structural contexts necessary for capturing the
correspondences.Comment: To appear at AAAI-202
