Context-Free Path Querying by Matrix Multiplication
Graph data models are widely used in many areas, for example, bioinformatics,
graph databases. In these areas, it is often required to process queries for
large graphs. Some of the most common graph queries are navigational queries.
The result of query evaluation is a set of implicit relations between nodes of
the graph, i.e. paths in the graph. A natural way to specify these relations is
by specifying paths using formal grammars over the alphabet of edge labels. An
answer to a context-free path query in this approach is usually a set of
triples (A, m, n) such that there is a path from the node m to the node n,
whose labeling is derived from a non-terminal A of the given context-free
grammar. This type of queries is evaluated using the relational query
semantics. Another example of path query semantics is the single-path query
semantics which requires presenting a single path from the node m to the node
n, whose labeling is derived from a non-terminal A for all triples (A, m, n)
evaluated using the relational query semantics. There is a number of algorithms
for query evaluation which use these semantics but all of them perform poorly
on large graphs. One of the most common technique for efficient big data
processing is the use of a graphics processing unit (GPU) to perform
computations, but these algorithms do not allow to use this technique
efficiently. In this paper, we show how the context-free path query evaluation
using these query semantics can be reduced to the calculation of the matrix
transitive closure. Also, we propose an algorithm for context-free path query
evaluation which uses relational query semantics and is based on matrix
operations that make it possible to speed up computations by using a GPU.Comment: 9 pages, 11 figures, 2 table
Explainable Reasoning over Knowledge Graphs for Recommendation
Incorporating knowledge graph into recommender systems has attracted
increasing attention in recent years. By exploring the interlinks within a
knowledge graph, the connectivity between users and items can be discovered as
paths, which provide rich and complementary information to user-item
interactions. Such connectivity not only reveals the semantics of entities and
relations, but also helps to comprehend a user's interest. However, existing
efforts have not fully explored this connectivity to infer user preferences,
especially in terms of modeling the sequential dependencies within and holistic
semantics of a path. In this paper, we contribute a new model named
Knowledge-aware Path Recurrent Network (KPRN) to exploit knowledge graph for
recommendation. KPRN can generate path representations by composing the
semantics of both entities and relations. By leveraging the sequential
dependencies within a path, we allow effective reasoning on paths to infer the
underlying rationale of a user-item interaction. Furthermore, we design a new
weighted pooling operation to discriminate the strengths of different paths in
connecting a user with an item, endowing our model with a certain level of
explainability. We conduct extensive experiments on two datasets about movie
and music, demonstrating significant improvements over state-of-the-art

Context-aware Path Ranking for Knowledge Base Completion
Knowledge base (KB) completion aims to infer missing facts from existing ones
in a KB. Among various approaches, path ranking (PR) algorithms have received
increasing attention in recent years. PR algorithms enumerate paths between
entity pairs in a KB and use those paths as features to train a model for
missing fact prediction. Due to their good performances and high model
interpretability, several methods have been proposed. However, most existing
methods suffer from scalability (high RAM consumption) and feature explosion
(trains on an exponentially large number of features) problems. This paper
proposes a Context-aware Path Ranking (C-PR) algorithm to solve these problems
by introducing a selective path exploration strategy. C-PR learns global
semantics of entities in the KB using word embedding and leverages the
knowledge of entity semantics to enumerate contextually relevant paths using
bidirectional random walk. Experimental results on three large KBs show that
the path features (fewer in number) discovered by C-PR not only improve
predictive performance but also are more interpretable than existing baselines
A Plausibility Semantics for Abstract Argumentation Frameworks
We propose and investigate a simple ranking-measure-based extension semantics
for abstract argumentation frameworks based on their generic instantiation by
default knowledge bases and the ranking construction semantics for default
reasoning. In this context, we consider the path from structured to logical to
shallow semantic instantiations. The resulting well-justified JZ-extension
semantics diverges from more traditional approaches.Comment: Proceedings of the 15th International Workshop on Non-Monotonic

A Perfect Match for Reasoning, Explanation, and Reason Maintenance
Path query languages have been previously shown to com-
plement RDF rule languages in a natural way and have been used as
a means to implement the RDFS derivation rules. RPL is a novel path
query language specifically designed to be incorporated with RDF rules
and comes in three
avors: Node-, edge- and path-
avored expressions
allow to express conditional regular expressions over the nodes, edges, or
nodes and edges appearing on paths within RDF graphs. Providing reg-
ular string expressions and negation, RPL is more expressive than other
RDF path languages that have been proposed. We give a compositional
semantics for RPL and show that it can be evaluated efficiently, while
several possible extensions of it cannot
