Abstract

Temporal knowledge graphs (TKGs) have been applied in many fields, reasoning over TKG which predicts future facts is an important task. Recent methods based on Graph Convolution Network (GCN) represent entities and relations in Euclidean space. However, Euclidean vectors cannot accurately distinguish entities in similar facts, it is necessary to further represent entities and relations in complex space. We propose Time-aware Quaternion Graph Convolution Network (T-QGCN) based on Quaternion vectors, which can more efficiently represent entities and relations in quaternion space to distinguish entities in similar facts. T-QGCN also adds a time-aware part to show the influence of the occurrence frequency of historical facts when reasoning. Specifically, T-QGCN uses QGCN with each historical fact frequency to aggregate graph structural information for each timestamp in TKGs and uses RNN to dynamically update entity representation and relation representation. To decode in quaternion space and better use historical representations, we design a new decoding module based on Convolution Neural Network (CNN) to help T-QGCN perform better. Extensive experiments show that T-QGCN has better performance than baselines for the entity prediction task on four datasets.
