OTIEA:Ontology-enhanced Triple Intrinsic-Correlation for Cross-lingual Entity Alignment
This addresses the challenge of fusing irregular data in cross-lingual and cross-domain applications, but it is incremental as it builds on existing entity alignment methods.
The paper tackles the problem of cross-lingual entity alignment in knowledge graphs without external resources by proposing OTIEA, a framework that models intrinsic triple interactions and uses ontology pairs, achieving competitive performance on three real-world datasets.
Cross-lingual and cross-domain knowledge alignment without sufficient external resources is a fundamental and crucial task for fusing irregular data. As the element-wise fusion process aiming to discover equivalent objects from different knowledge graphs (KGs), entity alignment (EA) has been attracting great interest from industry and academic research recent years. Most of existing EA methods usually explore the correlation between entities and relations through neighbor nodes, structural information and external resources. However, the complex intrinsic interactions among triple elements and role information are rarely modeled in these methods, which may lead to the inadequate illustration for triple. In addition, external resources are usually unavailable in some scenarios especially cross-lingual and cross-domain applications, which reflects the little scalability of these methods. To tackle the above insufficiency, a novel universal EA framework (OTIEA) based on ontology pair and role enhancement mechanism via triple-aware attention is proposed in this paper without introducing external resources. Specifically, an ontology-enhanced triple encoder is designed via mining intrinsic correlations and ontology pair information instead of independent elements. In addition, the EA-oriented representations can be obtained in triple-aware entity decoder by fusing role diversity. Finally, a bidirectional iterative alignment strategy is deployed to expand seed entity pairs. The experimental results on three real-world datasets show that our framework achieves a competitive performance compared with baselines.
