Abstract
Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC) aims at predicting missing triplets from incomplete knowledge graphs, which is crucial for downstream applications. Recently, Graph Neural Network (GNN)-based methods have achieved remarkable success by performing message passing over query-centered local subgraphs. However, in practice, a query is jointly defined by both the entity and the relation, with both carrying information indispensable for reasoning, yet these methods rely solely on the query relation as the guiding signal, while the information inherent in the query entity is not leveraged to guide inference - the entity serves merely as a structural anchor for subgraph extraction. To this end, we incorporate query entity information into the reasoning process from two perspectives: the first is structural context, i.e., the neighboring structure and relation patterns around the entity, which is encoded by a dedicated context encoder and used to modulate messages; the second is semantic type of the entity, inferred by a large language model, which is incorporated into attention computation and final scoring to provide type-level prior constraints. Together, these two sources of information enable the reasoning process to be guided by both the query relation and the query entity. Experimental results on standard benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed Q-GNN.
Knowledge graphs (KGs) organize real-world knowledge as triplets and underpin many downstream applications. Due to their inherent incompleteness, knowledge graph completion (KGC) is widely studied and is typically formulated as triplet prediction, with link prediction as the dominant paradigm. However, this formulation focuses on the incompleteness of triplet-wise information and overlooks the incompleteness of entity-relation compatibility information. To address this limitation, we introduce a relation set completion task (RSC), which complements the link prediction task and aims to reason about missing relations that are semantically compatible with a given entity. We further propose a Relation Set Embedding model (RelSetE), which models latent patterns among the observed relations of entities to infer missing ones. To evaluate RelSetE, we derive three benchmark datasets from standard KG benchmarks. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RelSetE effectively captures entity-relation compatibility patterns and performs favorably in inferring missing relations of entities. Code and data are publicly available.
Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown immense potential in Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC), yet bridging the modality gap between continuous graph embeddings and discrete LLM tokens remains a critical challenge. While recent quantization-based approaches attempt to align these modalities, they typically treat quantization as flat numerical compression, resulting in semantically entangled codes that fail to mirror the hierarchical nature of human reasoning. In this paper, we propose GS-Quant, a novel framework that generates semantically coherent and structurally stratified discrete codes for KG entities. Unlike prior methods, GS-Quant is grounded in the insight that entity representations should follow a linguistic coarse-to-fine logic. We introduce a Granular Semantic Enhancement module that injects hierarchical knowledge into the codebook, ensuring that earlier codes capture global semantic categories while later codes refine specific attributes. Furthermore, a Generative Structural Reconstruction module imposes causal dependencies on the code sequence, transforming independent discrete units into structured semantic descriptors. By expanding the LLM vocabulary with these learned codes, we enable the model to reason over graph structures isomorphically to natural language generation. Experimental results demonstrate that GS-Quant significantly outperforms existing text-based and embedding-based baselines. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/mikumifa/GS-Quant.
Knowledge graph completion (KGC) aims to infer missing facts in knowledge graphs (KGs), thereby improving their completeness and supporting downstream intelligent applications. However, emerging entities and relations in real-world deployments make inductive KGC difficult, especially under few-shot and zero-shot settings. Multimodal information and Large Language Model (LLM)-derived priors can enrich sparse relational contexts, but they may also introduce noisy or hallucinated evidence. To address these issues, we propose DuPLeR, a \textbf{Du}al-\textbf{P}ath \textbf{L}LM \textbf{R}easoning framework for multimodal few-shot KGC. DuPLeR builds a calibrated relation graph by combining multimodal LLM-derived type priors with factual support structures, and performs dual-level structural reasoning over the refined relation topology. Moreover, a dual-pathway multimodal enhancement module regulates message passing with query-relevant multimodal signals and supplements entity representations after graph propagation. Experiments on eight inductive variants of two multimodal KG (MMKG) benchmarks show that DuPLeR achieves robust performance in data-scarce KGC scenarios.
