bookTranslational Embedding for Link Prediction

Translational embeddings offer a powerful conceptual framework for link prediction in graphs. The core idea is that relationships between nodes can be represented as simple vector translations in the embedding space. In this approach, you model a relationship between two nodes as a vector operation: if you have an embedding for a source node (node1), and an embedding for a target node (node2), the embedding of the relation between them is such that node1 + relation ≈ node2. This means that the vector sum of the source node's embedding and the relation embedding should be close to the target node's embedding if the relationship (or edge) exists. This principle is inspired by methods like TransE, which are popular in knowledge graph embedding.

In practice, you can use this translational principle to score candidate links. To do this, you compute the difference between the sum of the source node and relation embeddings, and the target node embedding. The norm (or length) of this difference vector gives you a score: the smaller the norm, the more likely the link exists between the two nodes under the given relation. This method transforms the problem of link prediction into a geometric one, where you search for node pairs whose embeddings satisfy the translational property.
