Representing knowledge graphs (KGs) by learning embeddings for entities and relations has led to accurate models for existing KG completion benchmarks. However, due to the open-world assumption of existing KGs, evaluation of KG completion uses ranking metrics and triple classification with negative samples, and is thus unable to directly assess models on the goals of the task: completion. In this paper, we first study the shortcomings of these evaluation metrics. Specifically, we demonstrate that these metrics (1) are unreliable for estimating how calibrated the models are, (2) make strong assumptions that are often violated, and 3) do not sufficiently, and consistently, differentiate embedding methods from each other, or from simpler approaches. To address these issues, we gather a semi-complete KG referred as YAGO3-TC, using a random subgraph from the test and validation data of YAGO3-10, which enables us to compute accurate triple classification accuracy on this data. Conducting thorough experiments on existing models, we provide new insights and directions for the KG completion research. Along with the dataset and the open source implementation of the models, we also provide a leaderboard for knowledge graph completion that consists of a hidden, and growing, test set, available at https://pouyapez.github.io/yago3-tc/.

Open-World Knowledge Graph Completion
Knowledge Graphs (KGs) have been applied to many tasks including Web search, link prediction, recommendation, natural language processing, and entity linking. However, most KGs are far from complete and are growing at a rapid pace. To address these problems, Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC) has been proposed to improve KGs by filling in its missing connections. Unlike existing methods which hold a closed-world assumption, i.e., where KGs are fixed and new entities cannot be easily added, in the present work we relax this assumption and propose a new open-world KGC task. As a first attempt to solve this task we introduce an open-world KGC model called ConMask. This model learns embeddings of the entity's name and parts of its text-description to connect unseen entities to the KG. To mitigate the presence of noisy text descriptions, ConMask uses a relationship-dependent content masking to extract relevant snippets and then trains a fully convolutional neural network to fuse the extracted snippets with entities in the KG. Experiments on large data sets, both old and new, show that ConMask performs well in the open-world KGC task and even outperforms existing KGC models on the standard closed-world KGC task.

Knowledge graphs (KGs) are of great importance in various artificial intelligence systems, such as question answering, relation extraction, and recommendation. Nevertheless, most real-world KGs are highly incomplete, with many missing relations between entities. To discover new triples (i.e., head entity, relation, tail entity), many KG completion algorithms have been proposed in recent years. However, a vast majority of existing studies often require a large number of training triples for each relation, which contradicts the fact that the frequency distribution of relations in KGs often follows a long tail distribution, meaning a majority of relations have only very few triples. Meanwhile, since most existing large-scale KGs are constructed automatically by extracting information from crowd-sourcing data using heuristic algorithms, plenty of errors could be inevitably incorporated due to the lack of human verification, which greatly reduces the performance for KG completion. To tackle the aforementioned issues, in this paper, we study a novel problem of error-aware few-shot KG completion and present a principled KG completion framework REFORM. Specifically, we formulate the problem under the few-shot learning framework, and our goal is to accumulate meta-knowledge across different meta-tasks and generalize the accumulated knowledge to the meta-test task for error-aware few-shot KG completion. To address the associated challenges resulting from insufficient training samples and inevitable errors, we propose three essential modules neighbor encoder, cross-relation aggregation, and error mitigation in each meta-task. Extensive experiments on three widely used KG datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed framework REFORM over competitive baseline methods.more » « less

null (Ed.)Knowledge graphs (KGs) are powerful tools that codify relational behaviour between entities in knowledge bases. KGs can simultaneously model many different types of subject-predicate-object and higher-order relations. As such, they offer a flexible modeling framework that has been applied to many areas, including biology and pharmacology – most recently, in the fight against COVID-19. The flexibility of KG modeling is both a blessing and a challenge from the learning point of view. In this paper we propose a novel coupled tensor-matrix framework for KG embedding. We leverage tensor factorization tools to learn concise representations of entities and relations in knowledge bases and employ these representations to perform drug repurposing for COVID-19. Our proposed framework is principled, elegant, and achieves 100% improvement over the best baseline in the COVID-19 drug repurposing task using a recently developed biological KG.more » « less

KG-CF: Knowledge Graph Completion with Context Filtering under the Guidance of Large Language ModelsLarge Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive performance in various tasks, including knowledge graph completion (KGC). However, current studies mostly apply LLMs to classification tasks, like identifying missing triplets, rather than ranking-based tasks, where the model ranks candidate entities based on plausibility. This focus limits the practical use of LLMs in KGC, as real-world applications prioritize highly plausible triplets. Additionally, while graph paths can help infer the existence of missing triplets and improve completion accuracy, they often contain redundant information. To address these issues, we propose KG-CF, a framework tailored for ranking-based KGC tasks. KG-CF leverages LLMs’ reasoning abilities to filter out irrelevant contexts, achieving superior results on real-world datasets.more » « less

Knowledge graphs (KGs) facilitate a wide variety of applications. Despite great efforts in creation and maintenance, even the largest KGs are far from complete. Hence, KG completion (KGC) has become one of the most crucial tasks for KG research. Recently, considerable literature in this space has centered around the use of Message Passing (Graph) Neural Networks (MPNNs), to learn powerful embeddings. The success of these methods is naturally attributed to the use of MPNNs over simpler multi-layer perceptron (MLP) models, given their additional message passing (MP) component. In this work, we find that surprisingly, simple MLP models are able to achieve comparable performance to MPNNs, suggesting that MP may not be as crucial as previously believed. With further exploration, we show careful scoring function and loss function design has a much stronger influence on KGC model performance. This suggests a conflation of scoring function design, loss function design, and MP in prior work, with promising insights regarding the scalability of state-of-the-art KGC methods today, as well as careful attention to more suitable MP designs for KGC tasks tomorrow.
