Abstract
Knowledge graph embedding (KGE) aims to learn powerful representations to benefit various artificial intelligence applications, such as question answering and recommendations. Meanwhile, contrastive learning (CL), as an effective mechanism to enhance the discriminative capacity of the learned representations, has been leveraged in different fields, especially graph-based models. However, since the structures of knowledge graphs (KGs) are usually more complicated compared to homogeneous graphs, it is hard to construct appropriate contrastive sample pairs. In this paper, we find that the entities within a symmetrical structure are usually more similar and correlated. This key property can be utilized to construct contrastive positive pairs for contrastive learning. Following the ideas above, we propose a relational symmetrical structure based knowledge graph contrastive learning framework, termed KGE-SymCL, which leverages the symmetrical structure information in KGs to enhance the discriminative ability of KGE models. Concretely, a plug-and-play approach is designed by taking the entities in the relational symmetrical positions as the positive samples. Besides, a self-supervised alignment loss is used to pull together the constructed positive sample pairs for contrastive learning. Extensive experimental results on benchmark datasets have verified the good generalization and superiority of the proposed framework.
