• Abstract summary: This paper introduces a post-hoc explainable AI method tailored for Knowledge Graph Embedding models. Our approach directly decodes the latent representations encoded by Knowledge Graph Embedding models. By identifying distinct structures within the subgraph neighborhoods of similarly embedded entities, our method translates these insights into human-understandable symbolic rules and facts.

• Abstract: This paper introduces a post-hoc explainable AI method tailored for Knowledge Graph Embedding models. These models are essential to Knowledge Graph Completion yet criticized for their opaque, black-box nature. Despite their significant success in capturing the semantics of knowledge graphs through high-dimensional latent representations, their inherent complexity poses substantial challenges to explainability. Unlike existing methods, our approach directly decodes the latent representations encoded by Knowledge Graph Embedding models, leveraging the principle that similar embeddings reflect similar behaviors within the Knowledge Graph. By identifying distinct structures within the subgraph neighborhoods of similarly embedded entities, our method identifies the statistical regularities on which the models rely and translates these insights into human-understandable symbolic rules and facts. This bridges the gap between the abstract representations of Knowledge Graph Embedding models and their predictive outputs, offering clear, interpretable insights. Key contributions include a novel post-hoc explainable AI method for Knowledge Graph Embedding models that provides immediate, faithful explanations without retraining, facilitating real-time application even on large-scale knowledge graphs. The method's flexibility enables the generation of rule-based, instance-based, and analogy-based explanations, meeting diverse user needs. Extensive evaluations show our approach's effectiveness in delivering faithful and well-localized explanations, enhancing the transparency and trustworthiness of Knowledge Graph Embedding models.

• Extending Transductive Knowledge Graph Embedding Models for Inductive Logical Relational Inference [0.5439020425819]
  This work bridges the gap between traditional transductive knowledge graph embedding approaches and more recent inductive relation prediction models. We introduce a generalized form of harmonic extension which leverages representations learned through transductive embedding methods to infer representations of new entities introduced at inference time as in the inductive setting. In experiments on a number of large-scale knowledge graph embedding benchmarks, we find that this approach for extending the functionality of transductive knowledge graph embedding models is competitive with--and in some scenarios outperforms--several state-of-the-art models derived explicitly for such inductive tasks.

  Current methods learn triple embeddings from scratch without utilizing entity and predicate embeddings from pre-trained models. We develop a method for automatically sampling triples from a knowledge graph and estimating their pairwise similarities from pre-trained embedding models. These pairwise similarity scores are then fed to a Siamese-like neural architecture to fine-tune triple representations.
