PEARL: Path-Entity Aligned Relational Learning with Contextual Subgraphs for Inductive Knowledge Graph Completion

PEARL is a new framework for inductive knowledge graph completion that treats relational paths as context-conditioned reasoning signals. It builds a query‑specific contextual subgraph from the query entities’ neighborhoods and uses a large language model‑guided retriever to select semantically relevant paths. By constructing a bipartite interaction graph over paths, contextual entities, and a global subgraph representation, and applying a dual‑view contrastive objective, PEARL adapts path embeddings to local and global structural evidence, achieving the best average Hits@10 on WN18RR, FB15k‑237, and NELL‑995.
