Distance-Adaptive Quaternion Knowledge Graph Embedding with Bidirectional Rotation
This work addresses knowledge graph completion for AI applications, representing an incremental advancement by integrating existing approaches in a novel way.
The authors tackled the problem of knowledge graph embedding by proposing a quaternion-based model that combines semantic matching with geometric distance to better measure triplet plausibility, achieving significant performance improvements on benchmark datasets.
Quaternion contains one real part and three imaginary parts, which provided a more expressive hypercomplex space for learning knowledge graph. Existing quaternion embedding models measure the plausibility of a triplet either through semantic matching or geometric distance scoring functions. However, it appears that semantic matching diminishes the separability of entities, while the distance scoring function weakens the semantics of entities. To address this issue, we propose a novel quaternion knowledge graph embedding model. Our model combines semantic matching with entity's geometric distance to better measure the plausibility of triplets. Specifically, in the quaternion space, we perform a right rotation on head entity and a reverse rotation on tail entity to learn rich semantic features. Then, we utilize distance adaptive translations to learn geometric distance between entities. Furthermore, we provide mathematical proofs to demonstrate our model can handle complex logical relationships. Extensive experimental results and analyses show our model significantly outperforms previous models on well-known knowledge graph completion benchmark datasets.
