Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC) aims to infer implicit new facts from existing facts in the Knowledge Graphs (KGs). Prevailing path-based reasoning has become a dominant paradigm for its interpretability and multi-hop reasoning ability.

To address these limitations, we propose MN-Cascade, a multihop neighborhood-aware cascaded reasoning framework designed to enhance semantic propagation in relational KGs. Specifically, MN-Cascade first adopts a multi-layer cascaded reasoning architecture, where each layer consists of three core modules: cascaded propagation, attention fusion, and path pruning. For cascaded propagation, we first perform monodirectional propagation centered on the query entities to obtain preliminary semantic representations of the one-hop entities, and then refine local dependencies through predecessor and successor neighborhoodaware modeling across cascaded views. Subsequently, the attention fusion module integrates cascaded-view representations, followed by a path pruning module that filters out irrelevant entities while preserving promising targets. Finally, a multi-layer fusion optimization module is employed to consolidate hierarchical semantics into a unified embedding for entity prediction. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of MN-Cascade compared to prominent baseline methods on transductive and inductive benchmarks.

摘要

Knowledge Graph Completion (KGC) aims to infer implicit new facts from existing facts in the Knowledge Graphs (KGs). Prevailing path-based reasoning has become a dominant paradigm for its interpretability and multi-hop reasoning ability. However, this approach often overlooks neighborhood interactions and cross-query correlations, resulting in biased subgraph pruning that hinders overall reasoning performance. To address these limitations, we propose MN-Cascade, a multihop neighborhood-aware cascaded reasoning framework designed to enhance semantic propagation in relational KGs. Specifically, MN-Cascade first adopts a multi-layer cascaded reasoning architecture, where each layer consists of three core modules: cascaded propagation, attention fusion, and path pruning. For cascaded propagation, we first perform monodirectional propagation centered on the query entities to obtain preliminary semantic representations of the one-hop entities, and then refine local dependencies through predecessor and successor neighborhoodaware modeling across cascaded views. Subsequently, the attention fusion module integrates cascaded-view representations, followed by a path pruning module that filters out irrelevant entities while preserving promising targets. Finally, a multi-layer fusion optimization module is employed to consolidate hierarchical semantics into a unified embedding for entity prediction. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of MN-Cascade compared to prominent baseline methods on transductive and inductive benchmarks.
