Transforming Graph Representations for Statistical Relational Learning
Relational data representations have become an increasingly important topic
due to the recent proliferation of network datasets (e.g., social, biological,
information networks) and a corresponding increase in the application of
statistical relational learning (SRL) algorithms to these domains. In this
article, we examine a range of representation issues for graph-based relational
data. Since the choice of relational data representation for the nodes, links,
and features can dramatically affect the capabilities of SRL algorithms, we
survey approaches and opportunities for relational representation
transformation designed to improve the performance of these algorithms. This
leads us to introduce an intuitive taxonomy for data representation
transformations in relational domains that incorporates link transformation and
node transformation as symmetric representation tasks. In particular, the
transformation tasks for both nodes and links include (i) predicting their
existence, (ii) predicting their label or type, (iii) estimating their weight
or importance, and (iv) systematically constructing their relevant features. We
motivate our taxonomy through detailed examples and use it to survey and
compare competing approaches for each of these tasks. We also discuss general
conditions for transforming links, nodes, and features. Finally, we highlight
challenges that remain to be addressed
Context-Dependent Diffusion Network for Visual Relationship Detection
Visual relationship detection can bridge the gap between computer vision and
natural language for scene understanding of images. Different from pure object
recognition tasks, the relation triplets of subject-predicate-object lie on an
extreme diversity space, such as \textit{person-behind-person} and
\textit{car-behind-building}, while suffering from the problem of combinatorial
explosion. In this paper, we propose a context-dependent diffusion network
(CDDN) framework to deal with visual relationship detection. To capture the
interactions of different object instances, two types of graphs, word semantic
graph and visual scene graph, are constructed to encode global context
interdependency. The semantic graph is built through language priors to model
semantic correlations across objects, whilst the visual scene graph defines the
connections of scene objects so as to utilize the surrounding scene
information. For the graph-structured data, we design a diffusion network to
adaptively aggregate information from contexts, which can effectively learn
latent representations of visual relationships and well cater to visual
relationship detection in view of its isomorphic invariance to graphs.
Experiments on two widely-used datasets demonstrate that our proposed method is
more effective and achieves the state-of-the-art performance.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, 2018 ACM Multimedia Conference (MM'18
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
