Learning High-order Structural and Attribute information by Knowledge Graph Attention Networks for Enhancing Knowledge Graph Embedding

The goal of representation learning of knowledge graph is to encode both entities and relations into a low-dimensional embedding spaces. Many recent works have demonstrated the benefits of knowledge graph embedding on knowledge graph completion task, such as relation extraction. However, we observe that:

1. existing method just take direct relations between entities into consideration and fails to express high-order structural relationship between entities; 2) these methods just leverage relation triples of KGs while ignoring a large number of attribute triples that encoding rich semantic information. To overcome these limitations, this paper propose a novel knowledge graph embedding method, named KANE, which is inspired by the recent developments of graph convolutional networks (GCN). KANE can capture both high-order structural and attribute information of KGs in an efficient, explicit and unified manner under the graph convolutional networks framework. Empirical results on three datasets show that KANE significantly outperforms seven state-of-arts methods. Further analysis verify the efficiency of our method and the benefits brought by the attention mechanism.
