Multi-heterogeneous neighborhood-aware for Knowledge Graphs alignment

Abstract

Entity alignment is an important task for the Knowledge Graph (KG) completion, which aims to identify the same entities in different KGs. Most of previous works only utilize the relation structures of KGs, but ignore the heterogeneity of relations and attributes of KGs. However, these information can provide more feature information and improve the accuracy of entity alignment. In this paper, we propose a novel Multi-Heterogeneous Neighborhood-Aware model (MHNA) for KGs alignment. MHNA aggregates multi-heterogeneous information of aligned entities, including the entity name, relations, attributes and attribute values. An important contribution is to design a variant attention mechanism, which adds the feature information of relations and attributes to the calculation of attention coefficients. Extensive experiments on three well-known benchmark datasets show that MHNA significantly outperforms 12 state-of-the-art approaches, demonstrating that our approach has good scalability and superiority in both cross-language and monolingual KGs. An ablation study further supports the effectiveness of our variant attention mechanism.
