Abstract

Link prediction in knowledge graphs fundamentally depends on the quality of learned embeddings for entities and relations. However, most existing methods derive these embeddings by aggregating only the local neighborhood of each entity, neglecting the global structure of the knowledge graph. This limited view prevents models from capturing higher-level structural patterns that are essential for accurate and generalizable link prediction. To address these limitations, we introduce Model Graph Inductive Learning (\textbf{MGIL}), a framework that constructs a model graph by clustering entities based on the similarity of their incoming and outgoing relational structures or their entity types. A GNN is then applied to this model graph to produce embeddings that capture the global view of the knowledge graph. These embeddings subsequently serve as high-quality initial features %embeddings for the original knowledge graph, replacing random initialization and leading to more stable and expressive representations. Extensive experiments on standard and recently proposed inductive benchmarks demonstrate that MGIL achieves state-of-the-art or highly competitive performance in inductive link prediction, highlighting its effectiveness across diverse graph settings.

CORE: Cyclic Orthotope Relation Embedding for Knowledge Graph Completion

Knowledge graph completion (KGC) aims to automatically infer missing facts in multi-relational data by mapping entities and relations into continuous representation spaces. Recent region-based embedding models have shown great promise in capturing complex logical patterns by representing relations as geometric regions. However, these models inevitably suffer from absolute boundary constraints during optimization. Conversely, without such constraints, relation regions expand indefinitely. To address the limitation, we propose \textbf{CORE} (Cyclic Orthotope Relation Embedding), a novel KGC model that embeds entities and relations onto a boundary-less torus manifold.CORE represents relations as cyclic orthotopes on the torus manifold, allowing regions to seamlessly wrap around spatial boundaries to ensure smooth gradient conduction. Furthermore, an adaptive width regularization is introduced to prevent unconditional region expansion. Theoretical analysis proves that CORE can capture various complex relation patterns such as subsumption and intersection. Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets demonstrate that CORE achieves highly competitive performance, significantly improving link prediction accuracy in dense semantic environments.

Pattern Over-Generalization of Knowledge Graph Embedding

Knowledge graph embedding (KGE) demonstrates its effectiveness for predicting missing links in knowledge graphs (KGs) by projecting entities and relations into a low-dimensional vector space. It is crucial for KGE models to effectively capture inference patterns (patterns) inherent in KGs, such as symmetry/antisymmetry, inversion and composition. Although recent KGE models exhibit strong capabilities in modeling such diverse patterns, they suffer from inherent limitations stemming from pattern over-generalization, where embeddings learned from only a single pattern instance inevitably generalize that pattern to all related instances, i.e., generalize the pattern universally. To address this issue, we propose PogRE (Pattern Over-Generalization Robust Embedding), a simple but effective method that utilizes dense linear transformations and compound operations for relation representation. Our theoretical analysis demonstrates that a dense linear transformation allows a pattern to become progressively universal as more triples are observed in the pattern. Furthermore, after observing d+1 linearly independent entities (d+1 denotes the dimension of entity), the linear transformation guarantees universal generalization of the pattern across all related instances. Experimental results on three standard benchmark datasets show that PogRE outperforms existing state-of-the-art KGE models in link prediction. Moreover, our empirical results indicate that PogRE effectively addresses the negative impact of over-generalization.

Leveraging Graph Structure in Seq2Seq Models for Knowledge Graph Link Prediction

We introduce Graph-Augmented Sequence-to-Sequence (GA-S2S), a novel framework that integrates a T5-small encoder-decoder with a Relational Graph Attention Network (RGAT) to improve link prediction in knowledge graphs. While existing Seq2Seq models rely solely on surface-level textual descriptions of entities and relations and at best, flatten the neighborhoods of a query entity into a single linear sequence, thereby discarding the inherent graph structure, GA-S2S jointly encodes both textual features and the full kk-hop subgraph topology surrounding the query entity. By integrating raw encoder outputs with RGAT's relation-aware embeddings, our model captures and leverages richer multi-hop relational patterns and textual information. Our preliminary experiments on the CoDEx dataset demonstrate that GA-S2S outperforms competitive Seq2Seq-based baseline models, achieving up to a 19% relative gain in link prediction accuracy.
