About RDF2vec

RDF2vec is a tool for creating vector representations of RDF graphs. In essence, RDF2vec creates a numeric vector for each node in an RDF graph.

RDF2vec was developed by Petar Ristoski as a key contribution of his PhD thesis Exploiting Semantic Web Knowledge Graphs in Data Mining [Ristoski, 2019], which he defended in January 2018 at the Data and Web Science Group at the University of Mannheim, supervised by Heiko Paulheim. In 2019, he was awarded the SWSA Distinguished Dissertation Award for this outstanding contribution to the field.

RDF2vec was inspired by the word2vec approach [Mikolov et al., 2013] for representing words in a numeric vector space. word2vec takes as input a set of sentences, and trains a neural network using one of the two following variants: predict a word given its context words (continuous bag of words, or CBOW), or to predict the context words given a word (skip gram, or SG):

This approach can be applied to RDF graphs as well. In the original version presented at ISWC 2016 [Ristoski and Paulheim, 2016], random walks on the RDF graph are used to create sequences of RDF nodes, which are then used as input for the word2vec algorithm. It has been shown that such a representation can be utilized in many application scenarios, such as using knowledge graphs as background knowledge in data mining tasks, or for building content-based recommender systems [Ristoski et al., 2019].

The resulting vectors have similar properties as word2vec embeddings. In particular, similar entities are closer in the vector space than dissimilar ones, which makes those representations ideal for learning patterns about those entities. In the example below, showing embeddings for DBpedia and Wikidata, countries and cities are grouped together, and European and Asian cities and countries form clusters:

The two figures above indicate that classes (in the example: countries and cities) can be separated well in the projected vector space, indicated by the dashed lines. Zouaq and Martel have compared the suitability for separating classes in a knowledge graph for different knowledge graph embedding methods. They have shown that RDF2vec is outperforming other embedding methods like TransE, TransH, TransD, ComplEx, and DistMult, in particular on smaller classes.

RDF2vec has been tailored to RDF graphs by respecting the type of edges (i.e., the predicates). Related variants, like node2vec [Grover and Leskovec, 2016] or DeepWalk [Perozzi et al., 2014], are defined for graphs with just one type of edges. They create sequences of nodes, while RDF creates alternating sequences of entities and predicates.

Implementations

There are a few different implementations of RDF2vec out there:

  • The original implementation from the 2016 paper. Not well documented. Uses Java for walk generation, and Python/gensim for the embedding training.
  • jRDF2vec is a more versatile and better peforming Java-based implementation. Like the original one, it uses Java to generate the walks, and Python/gensim for training the embedding. It also implements the RDF2vec Light variant (see below). There is also a Docker image available here.
  • pyRDF2vec is a pure Python-based implementation. It implements multiple strategies to generate the walks, not only random walks.
  • ataweel55's implementation is another pure Python-based implementation. It includes all strategies for biasing the walks described in [Cochez et al., 2017a] and [Al Taweel and Paulheim, 2020].

Models and Services

Training RDF2vec from scratch can take quite a bit of time. Here is a list of pre-trained models we know:

There is also an alternative for downloading and processing an entire knowledge graph embedding (which may consume several GB):

  • KGvec2go provides a REST API for retrieving pre-computed embedding vectors for selected entities one by one, as well as further functions, such as computing the vector space similarity of two concepts, and retrieving the n closest concepts. There is also a service for RDF2vec Light (see below) [Portisch et al., 2020].

Extensions and Variants

There are quite a few variants of RDF2vec which have been examined in the past.

  • Walking RDF and OWL pursues exactly the same idea as RDF2vec, and the two can be considered identical. It uses random walks and Skip Gram embeddings. The approach has been developed at the same time as RDF2vec. [Alsharani et al., 2017]
  • Wembedder is a simplified version of RDF2vec which uses the raw triples of a knowledge graph as input to the word2vec implementation, instead of random walks. It serves pre-computed vectors for Wikidata. [Nielsen, 2017]
  • KG2vec follows the same idea of using triples as input to a Skip-Gram algorithm. [Soru et al., 2018]

RDF2vec always generates embedding vectors for an entire knowledge graph. In many practical cases, however, we only need vectors for a small set of target entities. In such cases, generating vectors for an entire large graph like DBpedia would not be a practical solution.

  • RDF2vec Light is an alternative which can be used in such scenarios. It only creates random walks on a subset of the knowledge graph and can produce embedding vectors for a target subset of entities fast. In many cases, the results are competitive with those achieved with embeddings of the full graph. [Portisch et al., 2020] Details about the implementation are found here.
  • LODVec uses the same mechanism as RDF2vec Light, but creates sequences across different datasets by exploiting owl:sameAs links, and unifying classes and predicates by exploiting owl:equivalentClass and owl:equivalentProperty definitions. [Mountantonakis and Tzitzikas, 2021]

One area which has been undergone extensive research is the creation of walks for the RDF2vec algorithm. While the original implementation uses random walks, alternatives have been explored include:

  • The use of different heuristics for biasing the walks, e.g., prefering edges with more/less frequent predicates, prefering links to nodes with higher/lower PageRank, etc. An extensive study is available in [Cochez et al., 2017a].
  • A similar approach is analyzed in [Al Taweel and Paulheim, 2020], where embeddings for DBpedia are trained with external edge weights derived from page transition probabilities in Wikipedia.
  • In [Vandewiele et al., 2020], we have analyzed different alternatives to using random walks, such as walk strategies with teleportation within communities. While random walks are usually a good choice, there are scenarios in which other walking strategies are superior.
  • In [Saeed and Prasanna, 2018], the identification of specific properties for groups of entities is discussed as a means to find task-specific edge weights.
  • Mukherjee et al. [Mukherjee et al.] also observe that biasing the walks with prior knowledge on relevant properties and classes for a domain can improve the results obtained with RDF2vec.
  • The ontowalk2vec approach [Gkotse, 2020] combines the random walk strategies of RDF2vec and node2vec, and trains a language model on the union of both walk sets.

RDF2vec relies on the word2vec embedding mechanism once the sequences are created. This is not the only choice:

While the original RDF2vec approach is agnostic to the type of knowledge encoded in RDF, it is also possible to extend the approach to specific types of datasets.

To materialize or not to materialize? While it might look like a good idea to enrich the knowledge graph with implicit knowledge before training the embeddings, experimental results show that materializing implicit knowledge actually makes the resulting embedding worse, not better.

  • In [Iana and Paulheim, 2020], we have conducted a series of experiments training embeddings on DBpedia as is, vs. training embeddings on DBpedia with implicit knowledge materialized. In most settings, the results on downstream tasks get worse when adding implicit knowledge. Our hypothesis is that missing information in many knowledge graphs is not missing at random, but a signal of lesser importance, and that signal is canceled out by materialization. A similar observation was made by [Alsharani et al., 2017].
