Abstract

Temporal knowledge graph representation learning models can capture more comprehensive semantic information, which has higher practical application value and gradually attracts wide attention. However, the existing temporal knowledge graph representation learning models usually have challenges in encoding temporal information and capturing rich structural information. In this paper, we propose a novel temporal knowledge graph representation learning model, named TKGAT, which is based on graph neural networks using Bochner’s theorem to design time encoding function that can flexibly learn relative time information. Furthermore, attention network is adopted to model different relations features and the self-attention mechanism is optimized by the decoupled attention method, so that the attention weight matrix incorporates more extensive temporal and structural information and learns the correlations between entity and temporal features. The extensive experiments have shown that the proposed model can consistently outperform state-of-the-art models over all benchmark datasets.
