Multi-task Neural Network for Non-discrete Attribute Prediction in Knowledge Graphs
Many popular knowledge graphs such as Freebase, YAGO or DBPedia maintain a
list of non-discrete attributes for each entity. Intuitively, these attributes
such as height, price or population count are able to richly characterize
entities in knowledge graphs. This additional source of information may help to
alleviate the inherent sparsity and incompleteness problem that are prevalent
in knowledge graphs. Unfortunately, many state-of-the-art relational learning
models ignore this information due to the challenging nature of dealing with
non-discrete data types in the inherently binary-natured knowledge graphs. In
this paper, we propose a novel multi-task neural network approach for both
encoding and prediction of non-discrete attribute information in a relational
setting. Specifically, we train a neural network for triplet prediction along
with a separate network for attribute value regression. Via multi-task
learning, we are able to learn representations of entities, relations and
attributes that encode information about both tasks. Moreover, such attributes
are not only central to many predictive tasks as an information source but also
as a prediction target. Therefore, models that are able to encode, incorporate
and predict such information in a relational learning context are highly
attractive as well. We show that our approach outperforms many state-of-the-art
methods for the tasks of relational triplet classification and attribute value
prediction.Comment: Accepted at CIKM 201
End-to-End Differentiable Proving
We introduce neural networks for end-to-end differentiable proving of queries
to knowledge bases by operating on dense vector representations of symbols.
These neural networks are constructed recursively by taking inspiration from
the backward chaining algorithm as used in Prolog. Specifically, we replace
symbolic unification with a differentiable computation on vector
representations of symbols using a radial basis function kernel, thereby
combining symbolic reasoning with learning subsymbolic vector representations.
By using gradient descent, the resulting neural network can be trained to infer
facts from a given incomplete knowledge base. It learns to (i) place
representations of similar symbols in close proximity in a vector space, (ii)
make use of such similarities to prove queries, (iii) induce logical rules, and
(iv) use provided and induced logical rules for multi-hop reasoning. We
demonstrate that this architecture outperforms ComplEx, a state-of-the-art
neural link prediction model, on three out of four benchmark knowledge bases
while at the same time inducing interpretable function-free first-order logic
rules.Comment: NIPS 2017 camera-ready, NIPS 201
