In recent years, many researchers have devoted time to designing algorithms used to introduce external information from knowledge graphs, to solve the problems of data sparseness and the cold start, and thus improve the performance of recommendation systems. Inspired by these studies, we proposed KANR, a knowledge graph-enhanced attention aggregation network for making recommendations. This is an end-to-end deep learning model using knowledge graph embedding to enhance the attention aggregation network for making recommendations. It consists of three main parts. The first is the attention aggregation network, which collect the user’s interaction history and captures the user’s preference for each item. The second is the knowledge graph-embedded model, which aims to integrate the knowledge. The semantic information of the nodes and edges in the graph is mapped to the low-dimensional vector space. The final part is the information interaction unit, which is used for fusing the features of two vectors. Experiments showed that our model achieved a stable improvement compared to the baseline model in making recommendations for movies, books, and music.

Knowledge graph embedding aims to embed entities and relations into low-dimensional vector spaces. Most existing methods only focus on triple facts in knowledge graphs. In addition, models based on translation or distance measurement cannot fully represent complex relations. As well-constructed prior knowledge, entity types can be employed to learn the representations of entities and relations. In this paper, we propose a novel knowledge graph embedding model named TransET, which takes advantage of entity types to learn more semantic features. More specifically, circle convolution based on the embeddings of entity and entity types is utilized to map head entity and tail entity to type-specific representations, then translation-based score function is used to learn the presentation triples. We evaluated our model on real-world datasets with two benchmark tasks of link prediction and triple classification. Experimental results demonstrate that it outperforms state-of-the-art models in most cases.

The interaction history between users and items is usually stored and displayed in the form of bipartite graphs. Neural network recommendation based on the user-item bipartite graph has a significant effect on alleviating the long-standing data sparseness and cold start of the recommendation system. The whole paper is based on the bipartite graph. An review of the recommendation system of graphs summarizes the three characteristics of graph neural network processing bipartite graph data in the recommendation field: interchangeability, Multi-hop transportability, and strong interpretability. The biggest contribution of the full paper is that it summarizes the general framework of graph neural network processing bipartite graph recommendation from the models with the best recommendation effect in the past three years: embedding layer, propagation update layer, and prediction layer. Although there are subtle differences between different models, they are all this framework can be applied, and different models can be regarded as variants of this general model, that is, other models are fine-tuned on the basis of this framework. At the end of the paper, the latest research progress is introduced, and the main challenges and research priorities that will be faced in the future are pointed out.

In the past, most of the entity prediction methods based on embedding lacked the training of local core relationships, resulting in a deficiency in the end-to-end training. Aiming at this problem, we propose an end-to-end knowledge graph embedding representation method. It involves local graph convolution and global cross learning in this paper, which is called the TransC graph convolutional network (TransC-GCN). Firstly, multiple local semantic spaces are divided according to the largest neighbor. Secondly, a translation model is used to map the local entities and relationships into a cross vector, which serves as the input of GCN. Thirdly, through training and learning of local semantic relations, the best entities and strongest relations are found. The optimal entity relation combination ranking is obtained by evaluating the posterior loss function based on the mutual information entropy. Experiments show that this paper can obtain local entity feature information more accurately through the convolution operation of the lightweight convolutional neural network. Also, the maximum pooling operation helps to grasp the strong signal on the local feature, thereby avoiding the globally redundant feature. Compared with the mainstream triad prediction baseline model, the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the computational complexity while achieving strong robustness. It also increases the inference accuracy of entities and relations by 8.1% and 4.4%, respectively. In short, this new method can not only effectively extract the local nodes and relationship features of the knowledge graph but also satisfy the requirements of multilayer penetration and relationship derivation of a knowledge graph.

Knowledge graph (KG) embedding has been widely studied to obtain low-dimensional representations for entities and relations. It serves as the basis for downstream tasks, such as KG completion and relation extraction. Traditional KG embedding techniques usually represent entities/relations as vectors or tensors, mapping them in different semantic spaces and ignoring the uncertainties. The affinities between entities and relations are ambiguous when they are not embedded in the same latent spaces. In this paper, we incorporate a co-embedding model for KG embedding, which learns low-dimensional representations of both entities and relations in the same semantic space. To address the issue of neglecting uncertainty for KG components, we propose a variational auto-encoder that represents KG components as Gaussian distributions. In addition, compared with previous methods, our method has the advantages of high quality and interpretability. Our experimental results on several benchmark datasets demonstrate our model’s superiority over the state-of-the-art baselines.

AbstractPrediction of drug-target interactions (DTI) plays a vital role in drug development in various areas, such as virtual screening, drug repurposing and identification of potential drug side effects. Despite extensive efforts have been invested in perfecting DTI prediction, existing methods still suffer from the high sparsity of DTI datasets and the cold start problem. Here, we develop KGE_NFM, a unified framework for DTI prediction by combining knowledge graph (KG) and recommendation system. This framework firstly learns a low-dimensional representation for various entities in the KG, and then integrates the multimodal information via neural factorization machine (NFM). KGE_NFM is evaluated under three realistic scenarios, and achieves accurate and robust predictions on four benchmark datasets, especially in the scenario of the cold start for proteins. Our results indicate that KGE_NFM provides valuable insight to integrate KG and recommendation system-based techniques into a unified framework for novel DTI discovery.

Knowledge bases such as Freebase, YAGO, DBPedia, and Nell contain a number of facts with various entities and relations. Since they store many facts, they are regarded as core resources for many natural language processing tasks. Nevertheless, they are not normally complete and have many missing facts. Such missing facts keep them from being used in diverse applications in spite of their usefulness. Therefore, it is significant to complete knowledge bases. Knowledge graph embedding is one of the promising approaches to completing a knowledge base and thus many variants of knowledge graph embedding have been proposed. It maps all entities and relations in knowledge base onto a low dimensional vector space. Then, candidate facts that are plausible in the space are determined as missing facts. However, any single knowledge graph embedding is insufficient to complete a knowledge base. As a solution to this problem, this paper defines knowledge base completion as a ranking task and proposes a committee-based knowledge graph embedding model for improving the performance of knowledge base completion. Since each knowledge graph embedding has its own idiosyncrasy, we make up a committee of various knowledge graph embeddings to reflect various perspectives. After ranking all candidate facts according to their plausibility computed by the committee, the top-k facts are chosen as missing facts. Our experimental results on two data sets show that the proposed model achieves higher performance than any single knowledge graph embedding and shows robust performances regardless of k. These results prove that the proposed model considers various perspectives in measuring the plausibility of candidate facts.

Explicit and implicit knowledge about users and items have been used to describe complex and heterogeneous side information for recommender systems (RSs). Many existing methods use knowledge graph embedding (KGE) to learn the representation of a user-item knowledge graph (KG) in low-dimensional space. In this article, we propose a lightweight end-to-end joint learning framework for fusing the tasks of KGE and RSs at the model level. Our method proposes a lightweight KG embedding method by using bidirectional bijection relation-type modeling to enable scalability for large graphs while using self-adaptive negative sampling to optimize negative sample generating. Our method further generates the integrated views for users and items based on relation-types to explicitly model users’ preferences and items’ features, respectively. Finally, we add virtual “recommendation” relations between the integrated views of users and items to model the preferences of users on items, seamlessly integrating RS with user-item KG over a unified graph. Experimental results on multiple datasets and benchmarks show that our method can achieve a better accuracy of recommendation compared with existing state-of-the-art methods. Complexity and runtime analysis suggests that our method can gain a lower time and space complexity than most of existing methods and improve scalability.

Abstract An interaction between pharmacological agents can trigger unexpected adverse events. Capturing richer and more comprehensive information about drug–drug interactions (DDIs) is one of the key tasks in public health and drug development. Recently, several knowledge graph (KG) embedding approaches have received increasing attention in the DDI domain due to their capability of projecting drugs and interactions into a low-dimensional feature space for predicting links and classifying triplets. However, existing methods only apply a uniformly random mode to construct negative samples. As a consequence, these samples are often too simplistic to train an effective model. In this paper, we propose a new KG embedding framework by introducing adversarial autoencoders (AAEs) based on Wasserstein distances and Gumbel-Softmax relaxation for DDI tasks. In our framework, the autoencoder is employed to generate high-quality negative samples and the hidden vector of the autoencoder is regarded as a plausible drug candidate. Afterwards, the discriminator learns the embeddings of drugs and interactions based on both positive and negative triplets. Meanwhile, in order to solve vanishing gradient problems on the discrete representation—an inherent flaw in traditional generative models—we utilize the Gumbel-Softmax relaxation and the Wasserstein distance to train the embedding model steadily. We empirically evaluate our method on two tasks: link prediction and DDI classification. The experimental results show that our framework can attain significant improvements and noticeably outperform competitive baselines.
