MEFE: A Multi-fEature Knowledge Fusion and Evaluation Method Based on BERT

Abstract

Knowledge fusion is an important part of constructing a knowledge graph. In recent years, with the development of major knowledge bases, the integration of multi-source knowledge bases is the focus and difficulty in the field of knowledge fusion. Due to the large differences in knowledge base structure, the efficiency and accuracy of fusion are not high. In response to this problem, this paper proposes MEFE (Multi-fEature Knowledge Fusion and Evaluation Method) based on BERT. MEFE comprehensively considers the attributes, descriptions and category characteristics of entities to perform knowledge fusion on multi-source knowledge bases. Firstly, MEFE uses entity category tags to build a category dictionary. Then, it vectorizes the category tags based on the dictionary and clusters the entities according to the category tags. Finally it uses BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers) to calculate the entity similarity for the entity pairs in the same group. We calculate entity redundancy rate and information loss rate of knowledge base according to the fusion result, so as to evaluate the quality of the knowledge base. Experiments show that MEFE effectively improves the efficiency of knowledge fusion through clustering, and the use of BERT promotes the accuracy of fusion.
