Rule Mining over Knowledge Graphs via Reinforcement Learning (2202.10381v1)

Abstract: Knowledge graphs (KGs) are an important source repository for a wide range of applications and rule mining from KGs recently attracts wide research interest in the KG-related research community. Many solutions have been proposed for the rule mining from large-scale KGs, which however are limited in the inefficiency of rule generation and ineffectiveness of rule evaluation. To solve these problems, in this paper we propose a generation-then-evaluation rule mining approach guided by reinforcement learning. Specifically, a two-phased framework is designed. The first phase aims to train a reinforcement learning agent for rule generation from KGs, and the second is to utilize the value function of the agent to guide the step-by-step rule generation. We conduct extensive experiments on several datasets and the results prove that our rule mining solution achieves state-of-the-art performance in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.
