Measuring Graph-to-Graph Semantic Similarity in Knowledge Graphs: An Empirical Evaluation of Knowledge Graph Embeddings

A Knowledge Graph (KG) represents facts as structured triples and is widely used to organize relational knowledge across diverse domains. Just as textual information ranges from words and sentences to complete documents, KG information can be interpreted at multiple levels, from entities, relations, and triples to subgraphs and entire KGs. However, existing KG embedding methods mainly focus on entities, relations, and triples, leaving graph-level semantics largely unaddressed. Conventional graph-level methods, which typically compare graphs based on structural patterns, are also insufficient because structural similarity alone cannot guarantee semantic similarity between KGs. To evaluate how well different methods capture such graph-level semantic information, we study graph-to-graph semantic similarity, which determines whether a pair of KGs represents semantically corresponding underlying information. To obtain reliable ground-truth correspondences, we construct a semantic matching dataset by modifying text documents, extracting KGs from both original and modified documents, and transferring their known correspondences to KG pairs. We compare text-based, structure-based, and KG embedding-based approaches on each dataset. For the KG embedding-based approach, we introduce two scoring functions: \textit{EmbPairSim}, which uses maximal pairwise entity similarity, and \textit{AvgEmbSim}, which uses a frequency-weighted centroid. Experiments on WikiText-2 and CC-News show that \textit{EmbPairSim} achieves up to 5.3 pp higher MRR than Sentence-BERT while using substantially fewer parameters. These results suggest that KGE representations can serve as compact and effective signals for graph-to-graph semantic similarity in KGs.
