Executive Impact
In the realm of real-world knowledge graphs, the dynamism of facts is a prevailing characteristic. To address existing limitations in temporal knowledge graph relation prediction, this study introduces Hyperbolic-based Temporal Knowledge Graph Relation Prediction (HTKGP). Our innovation includes an attention-guided, learnable curvature mechanism to preserve intricate semantic hierarchy and a longitudinal information entity embedding strategy for capturing enduring impacts of past events. Empirical validation across multiple datasets shows HTKGP efficiently navigates the rich semantic landscape within hyperbolic spaces and yields superior predictive performance.

Knowledge Graphs (KGs) represent real-world entities and relations, used in applications like recommendations and information retrieval. Temporal Knowledge Graphs (TKGs) extend this by incorporating time, capturing dynamic facts (e.g., Einstein's life events). Existing TKG methods face challenges in handling hierarchical structures, integrating temporal dynamics, and addressing long-term persistence effects. This paper proposes HTKGP to leverage hyperbolic geometry for these challenges.
This section reviews existing work in hyperbolic networks and TKG embedding models. Hyperbolic spaces are favored for representing hierarchical data due to their exponential growth with radius, efficiently capturing complex and asymmetric relations in lower dimensions. TKG embedding models, often extensions of static KG methods, integrate time information via translational distance, tensor decomposition, recurrent networks, or attention mechanisms. HTKGP differentiates by incorporating learnable curvature for complex TKG hierarchies and continuous temporal evolution.
HTKGP integrates static and time-varying features using hyperbolic geometry. It employs a Hyperbolic Hypergraph Convolutional Network (HHGCN) to learn static features and aggregate neighborhood information, utilizing a novel learnable curvature for hierarchical representation. A longitudinal information entity embedding function captures long-term temporal impacts. The model fuses entity, relation, and timestamp information, processes it through hyperbolic linear transformation, aggregation, and non-linear activation, and then combines static and temporal features to predict fact existence.
HTKGP was evaluated on ICEWS14, ICEWS05-15, and GDELT datasets using MRR and Hits@t metrics. Results confirm HTKGP's superior performance over baselines, highlighting the benefits of hyperbolic space for hierarchy and memory efficiency. Analysis of the HHGCN module details the impact of learnable curvature, correlation strategies (squared hyperbolic distance performed best), and information fusion (combining entity, relation, and timestamp). Parameter studies on embedding dimension and division coefficient further validate the model's design and stability.
HTKGP, a hyperbolic network-based TKG relation prediction model, effectively addresses the limitations of current methods by modeling semantic hierarchy, integrating static and temporal features, and achieving optimal prediction accuracy and stability. Future work will explore incorporating rules, path planning, and automatic tuning to further enhance accuracy, stability, and reduce time complexity, moving beyond abstract considerations of facts.

Hyperbolic Geometry for Hierarchical Data Representation
This case study illustrates how hyperbolic space efficiently represents hierarchical relationships, such as those found in cuisine categories, with lower dimensions compared to Euclidean space. Nodes closer to the center represent higher-level concepts, and distances accurately reflect structural similarity, avoiding distortion.
Cuisine Hierarchy in Hyperbolic Space (Figure 3)
Consider a hierarchy of world cuisines: 'Chinese cuisine' and 'Southeast Asian cuisine' are high-level concepts. Specific dishes like 'Tom Yum Goong' or 'Hot and Sour Soup' are sub-concepts. In Euclidean space, accurately mapping the distances and relationships between these concepts might require high dimensions to avoid distortion. However, in hyperbolic space, as depicted in Figure 3, these hierarchical relationships are naturally represented. Higher-level cuisines can be on the outer layer of a Poincaré disk, and their distances from the center reflect their hierarchical positions. Dishes with similar characteristics, such as 'Tom Yum Goong' and 'Hot and Sour Soup', can be placed closer together in hyperbolic space, even if their higher-level categories are distinct. The inherent negative curvature of hyperbolic space allows for efficient and low-dimensional embedding of such tree-like or hierarchical structures, where distances accurately reflect conceptual relatedness and hierarchy without significant distortion.
Takeaway: Hyperbolic geometry intrinsically models hierarchical structures more effectively and with lower dimensionality than Euclidean space. This is crucial for Knowledge Graphs, where entities and relations often exhibit complex, nested hierarchies, allowing for a more faithful and efficient representation.
