Towards Learning Instantiated Logical Rules from Knowledge Graphs

Efficiently inducing high-level interpretable regularities from knowledge graphs (KGs) is an essential yet challenging task that benefits many downstream applications. In this work, we present GPFL, a probabilistic rule learner optimized to mine instantiated first-order logic rules from KGs. Instantiated rules contain constants extracted from KGs. Compared to abstract rules that contain no constants, instantiated rules are capable of explaining and expressing concepts in more details. GPFL utilizes a novel two-stage rule generation mechanism that first generalizes extracted paths into templates that are acyclic abstract rules until a certain degree of template saturation is achieved, then specializes the generated templates into instantiated rules. Unlike existing works that ground every mined instantiated rule for evaluation, GPFL shares groundings between structurally similar rules for collective evaluation. Moreover, we reveal the presence of overfitting rules, their impact on the predictive performance, and the effectiveness of a simple validation method filtering out overfitting rules. Through extensive experiments on public benchmark datasets, we show that GPFL 1.) significantly reduces the runtime on evaluating instantiated rules; 2.) discovers much more quality instantiated rules than existing works; 3.) improves the predictive performance of learned rules by removing overfitting rules via validation; 4.) is competitive on knowledge graph completion task compared to state-of-the-art baselines.
