SemSI-GAT: Semantic Similarity-Based Interaction Graph Attention Network for Knowledge Graph Completion
Xingfei Wang, Ke Zhang, Muyuan Niu, Xiaofen Wang · IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering · 2025
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) show great power in Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC) as they can handle non-Euclidean graph structures and do not depend on the specific shape or topology of the graph. However, many current GNN-based KGC models have difficulty in effectively capturing and utilizing the substantial structure and global semantic information in Knowledge Graphs (KGs). For more effective use of GNN for KGC, we innovatively propose the Semantic Similarity-based Interaction Graph Attention Network (SemSI-GAT) for the KGC task. In SemSI-GAT, we utilize BERT, a pre-trained language model, to learn the global semantic information and obtain semantic similarity between entities and their neighbors. Furthermore, we creatively design a novel encoder network called the interaction graph attention network and introduce a semantic similarity sampling mechanism to optimize the aggregation of interaction information between neighbors. By aggregating local features with interaction features, this network can generate more expressive structural embeddings. This network generates more expressive embeddings by fusing global semantic information, local structure features, and interaction features. The experimental evaluations demonstrate that the proposed SemSI-GAT outperforms existing state-of-the-art KGC methods on four benchmark datasets.
