Action-related KnowledGe (AKG) is important for facilitating deeper understanding of people’s life patterns, objectives and motivations. In this study, we present a novel framework for automatically predicting missing human biography records in Wikipedia by generating such knowledge. The generation method, which is based on a neural network matrix factorization model, is capable of encoding action semantics from diverse perspectives and discovering latent inter-action relations. By correctly predicting missing information and correcting errors, our work can effectively improve the quality of data about the behavioral records of historical figures in the knowledge base (e.g., biographies in Wikipedia), thus contributing to the understanding and study of human actions by the general public on the one hand, and can be considered as a new paradigm for managing action-related knowledge in digital libraries on the other. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the AKG we generate can capture well missing or “forgotten” human biography related information in Wikipedia.
