Relation Prediction as an Auxiliary Training Objective for Improving Multi-Relational Graph Representations
Learning good representations on multi-relational graphs is essential to knowledge base completion (KBC). In this paper, we propose a new self-supervised training objective for multi-relational
graph representation learning, via simply incorporating relation prediction into the commonly used
1vsAll objective. The new training objective contains not only terms for predicting the subject
and object of a given triple, but also a term for predicting the relation type. We analyse how this
new objective impacts multi-relational learning in KBC: experiments on a variety of datasets and
models show that relation prediction can significantly improve entity ranking, the most widely
used evaluation task for KBC, yielding a 6.1% increase in MRR and 9.9% increase in Hits@1
on FB15k-237 as well as a 3.1% increase in MRR and 3.4% in Hits@1 on Aristo-v4. Moreover,
we observe that the proposed objective is especially effective on highly multi-relational datasets,
i.e. datasets with a large number of predicates, and generates better representations when larger
embedding sizes are used
Path Ranking with Attention to Type Hierarchies
The objective of the knowledge base completion problem is to infer missing
information from existing facts in a knowledge base. Prior work has
demonstrated the effectiveness of path-ranking based methods, which solve the
problem by discovering observable patterns in knowledge graphs, consisting of
nodes representing entities and edges representing relations. However, these
patterns either lack accuracy because they rely solely on relations or cannot
easily generalize due to the direct use of specific entity information. We
introduce Attentive Path Ranking, a novel path pattern representation that
leverages type hierarchies of entities to both avoid ambiguity and maintain
generalization. Then, we present an end-to-end trained attention-based RNN
model to discover the new path patterns from data. Experiments conducted on
benchmark knowledge base completion datasets WN18RR and FB15k-237 demonstrate
that the proposed model outperforms existing methods on the fact prediction
task by statistically significant margins of 26% and 10%, respectively.
Furthermore, quantitative and qualitative analyses show that the path patterns
balance between generalization and discrimination.Comment: Thirty-Fourth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-20
A Trio Neural Model for Dynamic Entity Relatedness Ranking
Measuring entity relatedness is a fundamental task for many natural language
processing and information retrieval applications. Prior work often studies
entity relatedness in static settings and an unsupervised manner. However,
entities in real-world are often involved in many different relationships,
consequently entity-relations are very dynamic over time. In this work, we
propose a neural networkbased approach for dynamic entity relatedness,
leveraging the collective attention as supervision. Our model is capable of
learning rich and different entity representations in a joint framework.
Through extensive experiments on large-scale datasets, we demonstrate that our
method achieves better results than competitive baselines.Comment: In Proceedings of CoNLL 201
Improved Neural Relation Detection for Knowledge Base Question Answering
Relation detection is a core component for many NLP applications including
Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA). In this paper, we propose a
hierarchical recurrent neural network enhanced by residual learning that
detects KB relations given an input question. Our method uses deep residual
bidirectional LSTMs to compare questions and relation names via different
hierarchies of abstraction. Additionally, we propose a simple KBQA system that
integrates entity linking and our proposed relation detector to enable one
enhance another. Experimental results evidence that our approach achieves not
only outstanding relation detection performance, but more importantly, it helps
our KBQA system to achieve state-of-the-art accuracy for both single-relation
(SimpleQuestions) and multi-relation (WebQSP) QA benchmarks.Comment: Accepted by ACL 2017 (updated for camera-ready
