Abstract

Knowledge graph embedding (KGE) learns latent vector representations of named entities (i.e., vertices) and relations (i.e., edge labels) of knowledge graphs. Herein, we address two problems in KGE. First, relations may belong to one or multiple categories, such as functional, symmetric, transitive, reflexive, and so forth; thus, relation categories are not exclusive. Some relation categories cause non-trivial challenges for KGE. Second, we found that zero gradients happen frequently in many translation based embedding methods such as TransE and its variations. To solve these problems, we propose i) converting a knowledge graph into a bipartite graph, although we do not physically convert the graph but rather use an equivalent trick; ii) using multiple vector representations for a relation; and iii) using a new hinge loss based on energy ratio(rather than energy gap) that does not cause zero gradients. We show that our method significantly improves the quality of embedding.
