Time-aware Link Prediction in RDF Graphs

Abstract

When a link is not explicitly present in an RDF dataset, it does not mean that the link could not exist in reality. Link prediction methods try to overcome this problem by finding new links in the dataset with support of a background knowledge about the already existing links in the dataset. In dynamic environments that change often and evolve over time, link prediction methods should also take into account the temporal aspects of data. In this paper, we present a novel time-aware link prediction method. We model RDF data as a tensor and take into account the time when RDF data was created. We use an ageing function to model a retention of the information over the time; lower the significance of the older information and promote more recent. Our evaluation shows that the proposed method improves quality of predictions when compared with methods that do not consider the time information.
