Confidence-Aware Embedding for Knowledge Graph Entity Typing

Knowledge graphs (KGs) entity typing aims to predict the potential types to an entity, that is, (entity, entity type = ?). Recently, several embedding models are proposed for KG entity types prediction according to the existing typing information of the (entity, entity type) tuples in KGs. However,...

description Knowledge graphs (KGs) entity typing aims to predict the potential types to an entity, that is, (entity, entity type = ?). Recently, several embedding models are proposed for KG entity types prediction according to the existing typing information of the (entity, entity type) tuples in KGs. However, most of them unreasonably assume that all existing entity typing instances in KGs are completely correct, which ignore the nonnegligible entity type noises and may lead to potential errors for the downstream tasks. To address this problem, we propose ConfE, a novel confidence-aware embedding approach for modeling the (entity, entity type) tuples, which takes tuple confidence into consideration for learning better embeddings. Specifically, we learn the embeddings of entities and entity types in separate entity space and entity type space since they are different objects in KGs. We utilize an asymmetric matrix to specify the interaction of their embeddings and incorporate the tuple confidence as well. To make the tuple confidence more universal, we consider only the internal structural information in existing KGs. We evaluate our model on two tasks, including entity type noise detection and entity type prediction. The extensive experimental results in two public benchmark datasets (i.e., FB15kET and YAGO43kET) demonstrate that our proposed model outperforms all baselines on all tasks, which verify the effectiveness of ConfE in learning better embeddings on noisy KGs.
