Abstract
Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC) predicts missing facts in an incomplete Knowledge Graph. Almost all of existing KGC research is applicable to only one KG at a time, and in one language only. However, different language speakers may maintain separate KGs in their language and no individual KG is expected to be complete. Moreover, common entities or relations in these KGs have different surface forms and IDs, leading to ID proliferation. Entity alignment (EA) and relation alignment (RA) tasks resolve this by recognizing pairs of entity (relation) IDs in different KGs that represent the same entity (relation). This can further help prediction of missing facts, since knowledge from one KG is likely to benefit completion of another. High confidence predictions may also add valuable information for the alignment tasks. In response, we study the novel task of jointly training multilingual KGC, relation alignment and entity alignment models. We present ALIGNKGC, which uses some seed alignments to jointly optimize all three of KGC, EA and RA losses. A key component of ALIGNKGC is an embedding based soft notion of asymmetric overlap defined on the (subject, object) set signatures of relations this aids in better predicting relations that are equivalent to or implied by other relations. Extensive experiments with DBPedia in five languages establish the benefits of joint training for all tasks, achieving 10-32 MRR improvements of ALIGNKGC over a strong state-of-the-art single-KGC system completion model over each monolingual KG . Further, ALIGNKGC achieves reasonable gains in EA and RA tasks over a vanilla completion model over a KG that combines all facts without alignment, underscoring the value of joint training for these tasks.
