Definition
Knowledge graph embedding methods, such as TransE or DistMult, transform discrete graph structures into low-dimensional dense vectors. This allows machine learning models to perform mathematical operations on semantic relationships, facilitating tasks like link prediction and entity alignment. By capturing latent patterns, these embeddings enable efficient reasoning over structured data without relying solely on symbolic logic.
