DyMRL: Dynamic Multispace Representation Learning for Multimodal Event Forecasting in Knowledge Graph

Accurate representation of multimodal knowledge is crucial for event forecasting in real-world scenarios. However, existing studies have largely focused on static settings, overlooking the dynamic acquisition and fusion of multimodal knowledge. 1) At the knowledge acquisition level, how to learn time-sensitive information of different modalities, especially the dynamic structural modality. Existing dynamic learning methods are often limited to shallow structures across heterogeneous spaces or simple unispaces, making it difficult to capture deep relation-aware geometric features. 2) At the knowledge fusion level, how to learn evolving multimodal fusion features. Existing knowledge fusion methods based on static coattention struggle to capture the varying historical contributions of different modalities to future events. To this end, we propose DyMRL, a Dynamic Multispace Representation Learning approach to efficiently acquire and fuse multimodal temporal knowledge. 1) For the former issue, DyMRL integrates time-specific structural features from Euclidean, hyperbolic, and complex spaces into a relational message-passing framework to learn deep representations, reflecting human intelligences in associative thinking, high-order abstracting, and logical reasoning. Pretrained models endow DyMRL with time-sensitive visual and linguistic intelligences. 2) For the latter concern, DyMRL incorporates advanced dual fusion-evolution attention mechanisms that assign dynamic learning emphases equally to different modalities at different timestamps in a symmetric manner. To evaluate DyMRL's event forecasting performance through leveraging its learned multimodal temporal knowledge in history, we construct four multimodal temporal knowledge graph benchmarks. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DyMRL outperforms state-of-the-art dynamic unimodal and static multimodal baseline methods.

A Temporal Knowledge Graph Completion Method Based on Balanced Timestamp Distribution

Completion through the embedding representation of the knowledge graph (KGE) has been a research hotspot in recent years. Realistic knowledge graphs are mostly related to time, while most of the existing KGE algorithms ignore the time information. A few existing methods directly or indirectly encode the time information, ignoring the balance of timestamp distribution, which greatly limits the performance of temporal knowledge graph completion (KGC). In this paper, a temporal KGC method is proposed based on the direct encoding time information framework, and a given time slice is treated as the finest granularity for balanced timestamp distribution. A large number of experiments on temporal knowledge graph datasets extracted from the real world demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
