Relation Prediction is the task of recognizing a named relation between two named semantic entities. The common test setup is to hide one entity from the relation triplet, asking the system to recover it based on the other entity and the relation type.
For example, given the triple <Roman Jakobson, born-in-city, ?>, the system is required to replace the question mark with Moscow.
Relation Prediction datasets are typically extracted from two types of resources:
Evaluation in Relation Prediction hinges on a list of ranked candidates given by the system to the test instance. The metrics below are derived from the location of correct candidate(s) in that list.
A common action performed before evaluation on a given list is filtering, where the list is cleaned of entities whose corresponding triples exist in the knowledge graph. Unless specified otherwise, results here are from filtered lists.
The mean of all reciprocal ranks for the true candidates over the test set (1/rank).
The rate of correct entities appearing in the top k entries for each instance list. This number may exceed 1.00 if the average k-truncated list contains more than one true entity.
The FB15K dataset was introduced in Bordes et al., 2013. It is a subset of Freebase which contains about 14,951 entities with 1,345 different relations. This dataset was found to suffer from major test leakage through inverse relations and a large number of test triples can be obtained simply by inverting triples in the training set initially by Toutanova et al.. To create a dataset without this property, Toutanova et al. introduced FB15k-237 – a subset of FB15k where inverse relations are removed.
The WN18 dataset was also introduced in Bordes et al., 2013. It included the full 18 relations scraped from WordNet for roughly 41,000 synsets. Similar to FB15K, This dataset was found to suffer from test leakage by Dettmers et al. (2018) introduced the WN18RR.
As a way to overcome this problem, Dettmers et al. (2018) introduced the WN18RR dataset, derived from WN18, which features 11 relations only, no pair of which is reciprocal (but still include four internally-symmetric relations like verb_group, allowing the rule-based system to reach 35 on all three metrics).
The test set is composed of triplets, each used to create two test instances, one for each entity to be predicted. Since each instance is associated with a single true entity, the maximum value for all metrics is 1.00.
OpenKE is an open toolkit for relational learning which provides a standard training and testing framework. Currently, the implemented models in OpenKE include TransE, TransH, TransR, TransD, RESCAL, DistMult, ComplEx and HolE.
