Entity Alignment with Unlabeled Dangling Cases
<|reference_start|>Entity Alignment with Unlabeled Dangling Cases: We investigate the entity alignment problem with unlabeled dangling cases, meaning that there are entities in the source or target graph having no counterparts in the other, and those entities remain unlabeled. The problem arises when the source and target graphs are of different scales, and it is much cheaper to label the matchable pairs than the dangling entities. To solve the issue, we propose a novel GNN-based dangling detection and entity alignment framework. While the two tasks share the same GNN and are trained together, the detected dangling entities are removed in the alignment. Our framework is featured by a designed entity and relation attention mechanism for selective neighborhood aggregation in representation learning, as well as a positive-unlabeled learning loss for an unbiased estimation of dangling entities. Experimental results have shown that each component of our design contributes to the overall alignment performance which is comparable or superior to baselines, even if the baselines additionally have 30\% of the dangling entities labeled as training data.<|reference_end|>
