Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If semi-structured resources are used to construct knowledge graphs, then high-precision triples can be obtained, but the knowledge graphs remain incomplete due to limited information content
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple types of context information (relational graph context, natural language context, and rule-based logical context) with the knowledge graph to enhance both precision and completeness. The context transformer integrates these diverse context sources with the knowledge graph triples, allowing the system to leverage external information to fill gaps while maintaining the high precision of the original triples.
Solution Approach 2:
The context transformer acts as an intermediary between the knowledge graph and external context information. It processes and integrates multiple context types (relational, natural language, logical) with the knowledge graph data, enabling the system to access broader information sources without directly modifying the original high-precision triple structure.
2Measurement precision
If self-attention based models are used to handle context information, then link prediction accuracy can be improved, but the model struggles to differentiate between different types of context
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the context information into distinct types (relational graph context, natural language context, and rule-based logical context) and processes them through separate embedding mechanisms. This segmentation allows the self-attention model to differentiate between context types while maintaining the ability to integrate them for accurate link prediction.
Solution Approach 2:
The context transformer applies different processing qualities to different context types. Each context type receives specialized handling (e.g., relational context is processed differently from natural language context) while still contributing to the overall link prediction task, enabling the model to differentiate and utilize the specific characteristics of each context type.
3Loss of information
If contextual information is added to knowledge graphs, then completeness can be improved, but the model difficulty to uncover useful context information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the context transformer continuously refines its understanding of context information based on the knowledge graph structure and prediction results. This feedback loop enables the model to progressively uncover and prioritize useful context information, making the complex task of context detection more manageable and systematic.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary processing of context information through the context transformer before using it for link prediction. This preliminary action includes embedding, weighting, and organizing context data in advance, which simplifies the subsequent task of detecting and measuring useful context information during the prediction process.
Data Source
AI summary
A machine learning model includes a context transformer and a decision head. The context transformer is a neural network of self-attention layers. The model makes a link prediction for a query embedding. Input embeddings are received at inputs of the context transformer. The input embeddings have: a query embedding set, the query embedding set comprising a subject embedding, object embedding, and relation embedding, one of the subject embedding, the object embedding, and the relation embedding being the query embedding; and knowledge graph embeddings. A first self-attention layer generates an attention score for each of the input embeddings. A final layer of the context transformer generates the link prediction for the query embedding and an output associated with each of the input embeddings. The decision head combines the attention score and the output for each of the input embeddings to determine a significance score for each of the input embeddings.
