TL;DR
This paper introduces AliNet, a novel GNN-based approach for knowledge graph entity alignment that effectively handles non-isomorphic neighborhoods by incorporating distant neighbors, attention, gating, and relation loss.
Contribution
AliNet is a new end-to-end KG alignment network that mitigates neighborhood non-isomorphism using distant neighbors, attention, gating, and a relation loss.
Findings
AliNet outperforms existing methods on five entity alignment datasets.
Incorporating distant neighbors improves neighborhood overlap.
Attention and gating mechanisms enhance representation quality.
Abstract
Graph neural networks (GNNs) have emerged as a powerful paradigm for embedding-based entity alignment due to their capability of identifying isomorphic subgraphs. However, in real knowledge graphs (KGs), the counterpart entities usually have non-isomorphic neighborhood structures, which easily causes GNNs to yield different representations for them. To tackle this problem, we propose a new KG alignment network, namely AliNet, aiming at mitigating the non-isomorphism of neighborhood structures in an end-to-end manner. As the direct neighbors of counterpart entities are usually dissimilar due to the schema heterogeneity, AliNet introduces distant neighbors to expand the overlap between their neighborhood structures. It employs an attention mechanism to highlight helpful distant neighbors and reduce noises. Then, it controls the aggregation of both direct and distant neighborhood…
