Knowledge bases are employed in a variety of applications from natural
language processing to semantic web search; alas, in practice their usefulness
is hurt by their incompleteness. Embedding models attain state-of-the-art
accuracy in knowledge base completion, but their predictions are notoriously
hard to interpret. In this paper, we adapt "pedagogical approaches" (from the
literature on neural networks) so as to interpret embedding models by
extracting weighted Horn rules from them. We show how pedagogical approaches
have to be adapted to take upon the large-scale relational aspects of knowledge
bases and show experimentally their strengths and weaknesses.Comment: presented at 2018 ICML Workshop on Human Interpretability in Machine
