Overview

This book explores various aspects of knowledge graph reasoning to solve different tasks, encompassing first, traditional symbolic methods for knowledge graph reasoning; second, recent developments in neural-based knowledge graph reasoning techniques; and third, cutting-edge advancements in neural-symbolic hybrid approaches to knowledge graph reasoning.

The authors focus on the model and algorithm design aspect and study knowledge graphs from two perspectives: background knowledge graph and input query.

Importance of Knowledge Graph Reasoning

Knowledge graph reasoning, which aims to infer and discover new knowledge from existing information in the knowledge graph, has played an important role in many real-world applications, such as question answering and recommender systems.

Emerging Trends

A new trend in knowledge graph reasoning is the combination of neural models with symbolic knowledge graphs, allowing for the design of models that are not only efficient and accurate, but also interpretable.

Focus of the Book

In this book, the authors study the application of neural-symbolic knowledge reasoning to different tasks from two perspectives: the input query and the background knowledge graph.
