Standing on the Shoulders of Predecessors: Meta-Knowledge Transfer for Knowledge Graphs
share
Knowledge graphs (KGs) have become widespread, and various knowledge graphs are constructed incessantly to support many in-KG and out-of-KG applications. During the construction of KGs, although new KGs may contain new entities with respect to constructed KGs, some entity-independent knowledge can be transferred from constructed KGs to new KGs. We call such knowledge meta-knowledge, and refer to the problem of transferring meta-knowledge from constructed (source) KGs to new (target) KGs to improve the performance of tasks on target KGs as meta-knowledge transfer for knowledge graphs. However, there is no available general framework that can tackle meta-knowledge transfer for both in-KG and out-of-KG tasks uniformly. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a framework, MorsE, which means conducting Meta-Learning for Meta-Knowledge Transfer via Knowledge Graph Embedding. MorsE represents the meta-knowledge via Knowledge Graph Embedding and learns the meta-knowledge by Meta-Learning. Specifically, MorsE uses an entity initializer and a Graph Neural Network (GNN) modulator to entity-independently obtain entity embeddings given a KG and is trained following the meta-learning setting to gain the ability of effectively obtaining embeddings. Experimental results on meta-knowledge transfer for both in-KG and out-of-KG tasks show that MorsE is able to learn and transfer meta-knowledge between KGs effectively, and outperforms existing state-of-the-art models.
