This repository contains the experimental code for our SIGIR 2022 paper: Meta-Knowledge Transfer for Inductive Knowledge Graph Embedding. In this paper, to achieve inductive knowledge graph embedding, we propose a model MorsE, which does not learn embeddings for entities but learns transferable meta-knowledge that can be used to produce entity embeddings. Such meta-knowledge is modeled by entity-independent modules and learned by meta-learning.

We run our code mainly based on PyTorch 1.7.1 and DGL 0.6.1 with CUDA. You can install cooresponding version based on your GPU resources. Furthermore, we also need lmdb to store the sampled sub-KGs for meta-training and argparse to parse command lines.

For inductive link prediction tasks, we use datasets proposed in the paper Inductive Relation Prediction by Subgraph Reasoning. Before training our MorsE, please download the data from GraIL, and directly put these datasets in the data folder in our repository.

We provide example scripts for explaining the usage of our code. For example, for meta-training MorsE on fb237_v1 based on TransE, you can try the following command line:

bash script/metatrain.sh

The training process, validation results, and final test results will be printed and saved in the corresponding log file. After training, you can find training logs in the log folder and the tensorboad logs are saved in the tb_log folder.

You can also fine-tune the meta-trained model as described in our paper. After finishing meta-training, you can try:

bash script/finetune.sh

We make some important args as variables in these scripts, and you can try different datasets and KGE methods by rewriting them. The details of argument list can be found in the main.py.
