Scalable and Resource-Efficient Knowledge-Graph Completion - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18122691 titled 'Scalable and Resource-Efficient Knowledge-Graph Completion

The technique described in the patent application performs knowledge-graph completion in a scalable and resource-efficient manner.

  • The technique identifies a source entity with a source-target relation connecting it to a target entity yet to be determined.
  • It also identifies a source-entity data item containing text related to the source entity.
  • A machine-trained encoder model is used to map the source-entity data item to encoded information.
  • The technique predicts the identity of the target entity based on the encoded information of the source entity and the encoded information of the source-target relation.
  • Prediction of the target entity may also consider neighboring entities connected to the source entity and their respective relations.
  • Knowledge transfer across knowledge-graph training stages is enabled.

Potential Applications: - Enhancing knowledge graph databases - Improving search engine results - Enhancing recommendation systems

Original Abstract Submitted

A technique performs the task of knowledge-graph completion in a manner that is both scalable and resource efficient. In some implementations, the technique identifies a source entity having a source-target relation that connects the source entity to a yet-to-be-determined target entity. The technique also identifies a source-entity data item that provides a passage of source-entity text pertaining to the source entity. The technique uses a machine-trained encoder model to map the source-entity data item to source-entity encoded information. The technique then predicts an identity of the target entity based on the source-entity encoded information, and based on predicate encoded information that encodes the source-target relation. In some implementations, the technique also predicts the target entity based on a consideration of one or more neighboring entities that are connected to the source entity and their respective source-to-neighbor relations. The technique further allows transfer of knowledge across knowledge-graph training stages.
