Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Knowledge graphs are an established concept in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence. They provide a way to link different data sources together to gain a holistic understanding of complex systems. Knowledge graphs are already used in many fields.

This Special Issue will highlight the application of knowledge graphs in practice. Different applications and fields of implementation, such as the automatic classification of entities, knowledge-graph-supported personalization and recommendations, or semantic searches in databases will be the focus.

Contributions should address the State-of-the-Art of knowledge graphs and present their relation to technical foundations, such as the use of ontologies, RDF and SPARQL, from an application-oriented perspective.

Furthermore, another important aspect of this Special Issue is the implementation of knowledge graphs in businesses. This involves the integration of different data sources and the development of novel algorithms to analyze the data.

The application of knowledge graphs also requires a high level of expertise and knowledge management, and close collaboration between data scientists, domain experts and business analysts.

Multi-relational graph neural networks (GNNs) have found widespread application in tasks involving enhancing knowledge representation and knowledge graph (KG) reasoning. However, existing multi-relational GNNs still face limitations in modeling the exchange of information between predicates. To address these challenges, we introduce Relgraph, a novel KG reasoning framework. This framework introduces relation graphs to explicitly model the interactions between different relations, enabling more comprehensive and accurate handling of representation learning and reasoning tasks on KGs. Furthermore, we design a machine learning algorithm based on the attention mechanism to simultaneously optimize the original graph and its corresponding relation graph. Benchmark and experimental results on large-scale KGs demonstrate that the Relgraph framework improves KG reasoning performance. The framework exhibits a certain degree of versatility and can be seamlessly integrated with various traditional translation models. Full article

Lesion prediction, a very important aspect of cancer disease prediction, is an important marker for patients before they become cancerous. Currently, traditional machine learning methods are gradually applied in disease prediction based on patient vital signs data. Accurate prediction requires a large amount and high quality of data, however, the difficulty in obtaining and incompleteness of electronic medical record (EMR) data leads to certain difficulties in disease prediction by traditional machine learning methods. Secondly, there are many factors that contribute to the development of cervical lesions, some risk factors are directly related to it while others are indirectly related to them. In addition, risk factors have an interactive effect on the development of cervical lesions; it does not occur in isolation, a large-scale knowledge graph is constructed base on the close relationships among risk factors in the literature, and new potential key risk factors are mined based on common risk factors through a subgraph mining method. Then lesion prediction algorithm is proposed to predict the likelihood of lesions in patients base on the set of key risk factors. Experimental results show that the circumvents the problems of large number of missing values in EMR data and discovered key risk factors that are easily ignored but have better prediction effect. Therefore, The method had better accuracy in predicting cervical lesions. Full article
