Fully Geometric Multi-Hop Reasoning on Knowledge Graphs with Transitive Relations

arXiv:2505.12369v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-hop logical reasoning on knowledge graphs requires faithfully mapping the logical semantics to latent space. Current geometric embedding methods show to be useful on this task by mapping entities to geometric regions and logical operations to latent transformations. While a geometric embedding can provide a direct interpretability framework for query answering, current methods have only leveraged the geometric construction of entities, failing to map logical operations to pure geometric transformations and, instead, using neural compone

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous advancements in AI research, particularly in knowledge representation and logical reasoning, drive the exploration of more robust and interpretable methods for multi-hop reasoning on complex knowledge graphs.

Why it’s important

Improving geometric multi-hop reasoning can significantly enhance the interpretability and performance of AI systems tasked with complex query answering, leading to more reliable and explainable AI applications.

What changes

This research suggests a move towards more pure geometric transformations for logical operations within knowledge graph embeddings, potentially offering a more transparent and scalable approach compared to neural component reliance.
