Abstract

Entity alignment aims to find entities referring to the same real-world object across different knowledge graphs (KGs). Most existing works utilize the relations between entities contained in the relation triples with embedding-based approaches, but require a large number of training data. Some recent attempt works on using types of their attributes in attribute triples for measuring the similarity between entities across KGs. However, due to diverse expressions of attribute names and non-standard attribute values across different KGs, the information contained in attribute triples can not be fully used. To tackle the drawbacks of the existing efforts, we novelly propose an unsupervised entity alignment approach using both attribute triples and relation triples of KGs. Initially, we propose an interactive model to use attribute triples by performing entity alignment and attribute alignment alternately, which will generate a lot of high-quality aligned entity pairs. We then use these aligned entity pairs to train a relation embedding model such that we could use relation triples to further align the remaining entities. Lastly, we utilize a bivariate regression model to learn the respective weights of similarities measuring from the two aspects for a result combination. Our empirical study performed on several real-world datasets shows that our proposed method achieves significant improvements on entity alignment compared with state-of-the-art methods.
