TeMP: Temporal Message Passing for Temporal Knowledge Graph Completion
Open accessAbstract
Inferring missing facts in temporal knowledge graphs (TKGs) is a fundamental and challenging task.Previous works have approached this problem by augmenting methods for static knowledge graphs to leverage time-dependent representations.However, these methods do not explicitly leverage multi-hop structural information and temporal facts from recent time steps to enhance their predictions.Additionally, prior work does not explicitly address the temporal sparsity and variability of entity distributions in TKGs.We propose the Temporal Message Passing (TeMP) framework to address these challenges by combining graph neural networks, temporal dynamics models, data imputation and frequency-based gating techniques.Experiments 1 on standard TKG tasks show that our approach provides substantial gains compared to the previous state of the art, achieving a 10.7% average relative improvement in Hits@10 across three standard benchmarks.Our analysis also reveals important sources of variability both within and across TKG datasets, and we introduce several simple but strong baselines that outperform the prior state of the art in certain settings.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
