When Connected Does Not Mean Similar: Charting the Homophily Boundary of SNAP-KG for Streaming Entity Integration
Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →SNAP‑KG is a framework that assigns new entities to semantic communities in a growing knowledge graph using only raw features, without graph access or retraining at inference time. The authors evaluate it on five multi‑view benchmarks and a large OGB‑WikiKG2 graph, all of which contain at least one homophilous view, and find strong performance. Extending the evaluation to three heterophilous graphs shows that when no homophilous view exists, clustering quality drops sharply for both SNAP‑KG and transductive baselines; the key factor is the homophily of the relation rather than the number of relations, and multi‑view fusion only helps if at least one homophilous relation is present. "whyItMatters":"The study reveals that SNAP‑KG’s effectiveness relies on the homophily assumption, highlighting a limitation for heterophilous knowledge graphs and suggesting a direction for future research on heterophily‑aware models."
