Knowledge Graph Embedding for Hyper-Relational Data

Knowledge graph representation has been a long standing goal of artificial intelligence. In this paper,we consider a method for knowledge graph embedding of hyper-relational data, which are commonly found in knowledge graphs. Previous models such as Trans(E, H, R) and CTrans R are either insufficient for embedding hyper-relational data or focus on projecting an entity into multiple embeddings, which might not be effective for generalization nor accurately reflect real knowledge. To overcome these issues, we propose the novel model Trans HR, which transforms the hyper-relations in a pair of entities into an individual vector, serving as a translation between them. We experimentally evaluate our model on two typical tasks—link prediction and triple classification.The results demonstrate that Trans HR significantly outperforms Trans(E, H, R) and CTrans R, especially for hyperrelational data.
