Motivation for Embeddings in Knowledge Graphs
Traditional knowledge graphs represent entities and relations using symbolic identifiers and logical rules. While this symbolic reasoning provides interpretability and precise control, it struggles to handle incomplete data, ambiguous relationships, and the vast scale of real-world knowledge. Symbolic approaches are often brittleβsmall changes or missing facts can break inference chains. They also have difficulty generalizing to unseen data and scaling to massive graphs with millions of entities and relations.
To address these challenges, embeddings map entities and relations into continuous vector spaces. In this representation, each entity or relation is associated with a dense vector of real numbers. These vectors can capture semantic similarities and patterns that are difficult for symbolic methods to express. By operating in a vector space, machine learning models can efficiently learn from large datasets, discover hidden connections, and generalize beyond the explicitly stated facts in the graph.
Predict missing relationships between entities in a knowledge graph;
Assign types or categories to entities using their embeddings;
Group similar entities based on their vector representations;
Automatically infer and add missing triples to the graph;
Identify unusual or inconsistent entities and relationships;
Support semantic search and question answering over graph data.
