Taxonomies serve many applications with a structural representation of knowledge. To incorporate emerging concepts into existing taxonomies, the task of taxonomy completion aims to find suitable positions for emerging query concepts. Previous work captured homogeneous token-level interactions inside a concatenation of the query concept term and definition using pre-trained language mod- els. However, they ignored the token-level interactions between the term and definition of the query concepts and their related concepts. In this work, we propose to capture heterogeneous token-level interactions between the different textual components of concepts that have different types of relations. We design a relation-aware mutual attention module (RAMA) to learn such interactions for taxonomy completion. Experimental results demonstrate that our new taxonomy completion framework based on RAMA achieves the state-of-the-art performance on six taxonomy datasets.
