Deep Sparse Latent Feature Models for Knowledge Graph Completion

원문 초록

Recent progress in knowledge graph completion (KGC) has focused on text-based approaches to address the challenges of large-scale knowledge graphs (KGs). Despite their achievements, these methods often overlook the intricate interconnections between entities, a key aspect of the underlying topological structure of a KG. Stochastic blockmodels (SBMs), particularly the latent feature relational model (LFRM), offer robust probabilistic frameworks that can dynamically capture latent community structures and enhance link prediction. In this paper, we introduce a novel framework of sparse latent feature models for KGC, optimized through a deep variational autoencoder (VAE). Our approach not only effectively completes missing triples but also provides clear interpretability of the latent structures, leveraging textual information. Comprehensive experiments on the WN18RR, FB15k-237, and Wikidata5M datasets show that our method significantly improves performance by revealing latent communities and producing interpretable representations.
