HybEA: Hybrid Models for Entity Alignment

Résumé

Entity Alignment (EA) aims to detect descriptions of the same real-world entities among different Knowledge Graphs (KG). Several embedding methods have been proposed to rank potentially matching entities of two KGs according to their similarity in the embedding space. However, existing EA embedding methods are challenged by the diverse levels of structural (i.e., neighborhood entities) and semantic (e.g., entity names and literal property values) heterogeneity exhibited by real-world KGs, especially when they are spanning several domains (DBpedia, Wikidata). Existing methods either focus on one of the two heterogeneity kinds depending on the context (mono-vs multilingual). To address this limitation, we propose a flexible framework called HybEA, that is a hybrid of two models, a novel attentionbased factual model, co-trained with a state-of-the-art structural model. Our experimental results demonstrate that Hy-bEA outperforms the state-of-the-art EA systems, achieving a 16% average relative improvement of Hits@1, ranging from 3.6% up to 40% in 5 monolingual datasets, with some datasets that can now be considered as solved.
