Abstract

OBJECTIVE: As new knowledge is produced at a rapid pace in the biomedical field, existing biomedical Knowledge Graphs (KGs) cannot be manually updated in a timely manner. Previous work in Natural Language Processing (NLP) has leveraged link prediction to infer the missing knowledge in general-purpose KGs. Inspired by this, we propose to apply link prediction to existing biomedical KGs to infer missing knowledge. Although Knowledge Graph Embedding (KGE) methods are effective in link prediction tasks, they are less capable of capturing relations between communities of entities with specific attributes (Fanourakis et al., 2023).
