Reification as a Transferable Vocabulary: Zero-Shot Link Prediction with Vanilla GNNs

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces a method that transforms knowledge graph facts into a fixed vocabulary representation, where each fact becomes a node linked to its subject, object, and relation type via six meta-relations. Using this representation, standard GNNs (e.g., GAT, GINE, GraphSAGE, R-GCN) trained on a single small graph can achieve zero‑shot link prediction on 40 inductive benchmarks, matching the performance of specialized foundation models like ULTRA. The approach also generalizes to relational databases, enabling foreign‑key prediction without cell values or schema text, and the authors provide code, checkpoints, and evaluation tools for all benchmarks.

Neural Regression with Embeddings for Numerical Attribute Prediction in Knowledge Graphs

The paper introduces LitEm, a neural regression model that allows transductive knowledge graph embedding models to predict numerical attributes. LitEm achieves top or near‑top performance on most attributes across datasets such as FB15K‑237, YAGO15K, DB15K, and Mutagenesis. A co‑training framework further improves link prediction for bilinear models while enabling them to predict numerical attributes, demonstrating literal‑aware encoding of attribute information.
