GFCNet: Utilizing graph feature collection networks for coronavirus knowledge graph embeddings

In response to fighting COVID-19 pandemic, researchers in machine learning and artificial intelligence have constructed some medical knowledge graphs (KG) based on existing COVID-19 datasets, however, these KGs contain a considerable amount of semantic relations which are incomplete or missing. In this paper, we focus on the task of knowledge graph embedding (KGE), which serves an important solution to infer the missing relations. In the past, there have been a collection of knowledge graph embedding models with different scoring functions to learn entity and relation embeddings published. However, these models share the same problems of rarely taking important features of KG like attribute features, other than relation triples, into account, while dealing with the heterogeneous, complex and incomplete COVID-19 medical data. To address the above issue, we propose a graph feature collection network (GFCNet) for COVID-19 KGE task, which considers both neighbor and attribute features in KGs. The extensive experiments conducted on the COVID-19 drug KG dataset show promising results and prove the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed model. In addition, we also explain the future directions of deepening the study on COVID-19 KGE task.
