Correction Tower: A General Embedding Method of the Error Recognition for the Knowledge Graph Correction

Abstract

Today, knowledge graphs (KGs) are growing by enrichment and refinement methods. The enrichment and refinement can be gained using the correction and completion of the KG. The studies of the KG completion are rich, but less attention has been paid to the methods of the KG error correction. The correction methods are divided into embedding and nonembedding methods. Embedding correction methods have been recently introduced in which a KG is embedded into a vector space. Also, existing correction approaches focused on the recognition of the three types of errors, the outliers, inconsistencies and erroneous relations. One of the challenges is that most outlier correction methods can recognize only numeric outlier entities by nonembedding methods. On the other hand, inconsistency errors are recognized during the knowledge extraction step and existing methods of this field do not pay attention to the recognition of these errors as post-correction by embedding methods. Also, to correct erroneous relations, new embedding techniques have not been used. Since the errors of a KG are variant and there is no method to cover all of them, a new general correction method is proposed in this paper. This method is called correction tower in which these three error types are corrected in three trays. In this correction tower, a new configuration will be suggested to solve the above challenges. For this aim, a new embedding method is proposed for each tray. Finally, the evaluation results show that the proposed correction tower can improve the KG error correction methods and proposed configuration can outperform previous results.
