From Node Embeddings to Triple Embeddings

Abstract

Graph embedding techniques allow to learn high-quality low-dimensional graph representations useful in various tasks, from node classification to clustering. Knowledge graphs are particular types of graphs characterized by several distinct types of nodes and edges. Existing knowledge graph embedding approaches have only focused on learning embeddings of nodes and predicates. However, the basic piece of information stored in knowledge graphs are triples and thus, an interesting problem is that of learning embeddings of triples as a whole. In this paper we report on Triple2Vec, a new technique to directly compute triple embeddings in knowledge graphs. Triple2Vec leverages the idea of line graph and extends it to the context of knowledge graphs. Embeddings are then generated by adopting the SkipGram model, where sentences are replaced with walks on a wighted version of the line graph.
