Inductive Relation Prediction

Inductive relation prediction (IRP) aims to predict relationships between entities in knowledge graphs, even when those entities weren't seen during model training. Current research heavily utilizes graph neural networks (GNNs) and transformer-based architectures, often incorporating path-based reasoning and contrastive learning techniques to improve accuracy and explainability. These advancements are crucial for enhancing knowledge graph completion, enabling more robust and insightful applications in areas like question answering and recommendation systems. A key focus is developing methods that effectively handle unseen entities and relations, improving generalization capabilities and addressing the challenges posed by long-tail relations.
