  text: In recent years, knowledge graph embedding models have been successfully applied
    in the transductive setting to tackle various challenging tasks including link
    prediction, and query answering. Yet, the transductive setting does not allow
    for reasoning over unseen entities, relations, let alone numerical or non-numerical
    literals. Although increasing efforts are put into exploring inductive scenarios,
    inference over unseen entities, relations, and literals has yet to come. This
    limitation prohibits the existing methods from handling real-world dynamic knowledge
    graphs involving heterogeneous information about the world. Here, we propose a
    remedy to this limitation. We propose the attentive byte-pair encoding layer (BytE)
    to construct a triple embedding from a sequence of byte-pair encoded subword units
    of entities and relations. Compared to the conventional setting, BytE leads to
    massive feature reuse via weight tying, since it forces a knowledge graph embedding
    model to learn embeddings for subword units instead of entities and relations
    directly. Consequently, the size of the embedding matrices are not anymore bound
    to the unique number of entities and relations of a knowledge graph. Experimental
    results show that BytE improves the link prediction performance of 4 knowledge
    graph embedding models on datasets where the syntactic representations of triples
    are semantically meaningful. However, benefits of training a knowledge graph embedding
    model with BytE dissipate on knowledge graphs where entities and relations are
    represented with plain numbers or URIs. We provide an open source implementation
    of BytE to foster reproducible research.

  text: We consider the problem of class expression learning using cardinality-minimal
    sets of examples. Recent class expression learning approaches employ deep neural
    networks and have demonstrated tremendous performance improvements in execution
    time and quality of the computed solutions. However, they lack generalization
    capabilities when it comes to the number of examples used in a learning problem,
    i.e., they often perform poorly on unseen learning problems where only a few examples
    are given. In this work, we propose a generalization of the classical class expression
    learning problem to address the limitations above. In short, our generalized learning
    problem (GLP) forces learning systems to solve the classical class expression
    learning problem using the smallest possible subsets of examples, thereby improving
    the learning systems' ability to solve unseen learning problems with arbitrary
    numbers of examples. Moreover, we develop ROCES, a learning algorithm for synthesis-based
    approaches to solve GLP. Experimental results suggest that post training, ROCES
    outperforms existing synthesis-based approaches on out-of-distribution learning
    problems while remaining highly competitive overall.

  text: Class expression learning in description logics has long been regarded as
    an iterative search problem in an infinite conceptual space. Each iteration of
    the search process invokes a reasoner and a heuristic function. The reasoner finds
    the instances of the current expression, and the heuristic function computes the
    information gain and decides on the next step to be taken. As the size of the
    background knowledge base grows, search-based approaches for class expression
    learning become prohibitively slow. Current neural class expression synthesis
    (NCES) approaches investigate the use of neural networks for class expression
    learning in the attributive language with complement (ALC). While they show significant
    improvements over search-based approaches in runtime and quality of the computed
    solutions, they rely on the availability of pretrained embeddings for the input
    knowledge base. Moreover, they are not applicable to ontologies in more expressive
    description logics. In this paper, we propose a novel NCES approach which extends
    the state of the art to the description logic ALCHIQ(D). Our extension, dubbed
    NCES2, comes with an improved training data generator and does not require pretrained
    embeddings for the input knowledge base as both the embedding model and the class
    expression synthesizer are trained jointly. Empirical results on benchmark datasets
    suggest that our approach inherits the scalability capability of current NCES
    instances with the additional advantage that it supports more complex learning
    problems. NCES2 achieves the highest performance overall when compared to search-based
    approaches and to its predecessor NCES. We provide our source code, datasets,
    and pretrained models at https://github.com/dice-group/NCES2.

  text: 'Many applications require explainable node classification in knowledge graphs.
    Towards this end, a popular ``white-box'''' approach is class expression learning:
    Given sets of positive and negative nodes, class expressions in description logics
    are learned that separate positive from negative nodes. Most existing approaches
    are search-based approaches generating many candidate class expressions and selecting
    the best one. However, they often take a long time to find suitable class expressions.
    In this paper, we cast class expression learning as a translation problem and
    propose a new family of class expression learning approaches which we dub neural
    class expression synthesizers. Training examples are ``translated'''' into class
    expressions in a fashion akin to machine translation. Consequently, our synthesizers
    are not subject to the runtime limitations of search-based approaches. We study
    three instances of this novel family of approaches based on LSTMs, GRUs, and set
    transformers, respectively. An evaluation of our approach on four benchmark datasets
    suggests that it can effectively synthesize high-quality class expressions with
    respect to the input examples in approximately one second on average. Moreover,
    a comparison to state-of-the-art approaches suggests that we achieve better F-measures
    on large datasets. For reproducibility purposes, we provide our implementation
    as well as pretrained models in our public GitHub repository at https://github.com/dice-group/NeuralClassExpressionSynthesis'

  text: Knowledge graph embedding research has mainly focused on learning continuous
    representations of entities and relations tailored towards the link prediction
    problem. Recent results indicate an ever increasing predictive ability of current
    approaches on benchmark datasets. However, this effectiveness often comes with
    the cost of over-parameterization and increased computationally complexity. The
    former induces extensive hyperparameter optimization to mitigate malicious overfitting.
    The latter magnifies the importance of winning the hardware lottery. Here, we
    investigate a remedy for the first problem. We propose a technique based on Kronecker
    decomposition to reduce the number of parameters in a knowledge graph embedding
    model, while retaining its expressiveness. Through Kronecker decomposition, large
    embedding matrices are split into smaller embedding matrices during the training
    process. Hence, embeddings of knowledge graphs are not plainly retrieved but reconstructed
    on the fly. The decomposition ensures that elementwise interactions between three
    embedding vectors are extended with interactions within each embedding vector.
    This implicitly reduces redundancy in embedding vectors and encourages feature
    reuse. To quantify the impact of applying Kronecker decomposition on embedding
    matrices, we conduct a series of experiments on benchmark datasets. Our experiments
    suggest that applying Kronecker decomposition on embedding matrices leads to an
    improved parameter efficiency on all benchmark datasets. Moreover, empirical evidence
    suggests that reconstructed embeddings entail robustness against noise in the
    input knowledge graph. To foster reproducible research, we provide an open-source
    implementation of our approach, including training and evaluation scripts as well
    as pre-trained models in our knowledge graph embedding framework.

  text: In semi-supervised learning, the paradigm of self-training refers to the idea
    of learning from pseudo-labels suggested by the learner itself. Across various
    domains, corresponding methods have proven effective and achieve state-of-the-art
    performance. However, pseudo-labels typically stem from ad-hoc heuristics, relying
    on the quality of the predictions though without guaranteeing their validity.
    One such method, so-called credal self-supervised learning, maintains pseudo-supervision
    in the form of sets of (instead of single) probability distributions over labels,
    thereby allowing for a flexible yet uncertainty-aware labeling. Again, however,
    there is no justification beyond empirical effectiveness. To address this deficiency,
    we make use of conformal prediction, an approach that comes with guarantees on
    the validity of set-valued predictions. As a result, the construction of credal
    sets of labels is supported by a rigorous theoretical foundation, leading to better
    calibrated and less error-prone supervision for unlabeled data. Along with this,
    we present effective algorithms for learning from credal self-supervision. An
    empirical study demonstrates excellent calibration properties of the pseudo-supervision,
    as well as the competitiveness of our method on several benchmark datasets.

- lang: eng
  text: "Classifying nodes in knowledge graphs is an important task, e.g., predicting\r\nmissing
    types of entities, predicting which molecules cause cancer, or\r\npredicting which
    drugs are promising treatment candidates. While black-box\r\nmodels often achieve
    high predictive performance, they are only post-hoc and\r\nlocally explainable
    and do not allow the learned model to be easily enriched\r\nwith domain knowledge.
    Towards this end, learning description logic concepts\r\nfrom positive and negative
    examples has been proposed. However, learning such\r\nconcepts often takes a long
    time and state-of-the-art approaches provide\r\nlimited support for literal data
    values, although they are crucial for many\r\napplications. In this paper, we
    propose EvoLearner - an evolutionary approach\r\nto learn ALCQ(D), which is the
    attributive language with complement (ALC)\r\npaired with qualified cardinality
    restrictions (Q) and data properties (D). We\r\ncontribute a novel initialization
    method for the initial population: starting\r\nfrom positive examples (nodes in
    the knowledge graph), we perform biased random\r\nwalks and translate them to
    description logic concepts. Moreover, we improve\r\nsupport for data properties
    by maximizing information gain when deciding where\r\nto split the data. We show
    that our approach significantly outperforms the\r\nstate of the art on the benchmarking
    framework SML-Bench for structured machine\r\nlearning. Our ablation study confirms
    that this is due to our novel\r\ninitialization method and support for data properties."
