A Survey on Knowledge Graph Embeddings for Link Prediction
Open accessAbstract
Knowledge graphs (KGs) have been widely used in the field of artificial intelligence, such as in information retrieval, natural language processing, recommendation systems, etc. However, the open nature of KGs often implies that they are incomplete, having self-defects. This creates the need to build a more complete knowledge graph for enhancing the practical utilization of KGs. Link prediction is a fundamental task in knowledge graph completion that utilizes existing relations to infer new relations so as to build a more complete knowledge graph. Numerous methods have been proposed to perform the link-prediction task based on various representation techniques. Among them, KG-embedding models have significantly advanced the state of the art in the past few years. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey on KG-embedding models for link prediction in knowledge graphs. We first provide a theoretical analysis and comparison of existing methods proposed to date for generating KG embedding. Then, we investigate several representative models that are classified into five categories. Finally, we conducted experiments on two benchmark datasets to report comprehensive findings and provide some new insights into the strengths and weaknesses of existing models.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This survey reviews knowledge graph embedding (KGE) models for link prediction, categorizing them into translation-distance-based, semantic-matching-based, and neural-network-based approaches and analyzing representative models along five main lines. It reports unified experiments on FB15k and FB15k-237, finding that neural-network-based models and models using additional information tend to perform best, with RotatE and HypER among the top performers.
Key findings
- The survey classifies KGE models into three main categories—translation-distance-based, semantic-matching-based, and neural-network-based—and further organizes representative models along five main lines: CNN, context information, tensor/matrix production, GCN, and TransE extensions.
- In the reported experiments, RotatE and HypER outperform the other models. On FB15k-237, HAKE reaches MRR 0.3523 and Hits@10 0.5488; RotatE reaches MRR 0.3432 and Hits@10 0.5370; SACN reaches MRR 0.3400 and Hits@10 0.5154; HypER reaches MRR 0.3335 and Hits@10 0.5080. On FB15k, RotatE reaches MRR 0.7905 and Hits@10 0.8797; HypER reaches MRR 0.7668 and Hits@10 0.8799; RW-LMLM reaches MRR 0.7466 and Hits@10 0.8648.
- Training time varies substantially: Bilinear+TR_bilinear has the shortest reported time at 1.8083 h, while ConvE takes 50.8799 h, LiteralE-ConvE takes 60.1813 h, DistMult takes 31.5515 h, and ComplEx takes 38.1560 h. Neural-network-based models generally have relatively low time efficiency due to more parameters.
- The paper concludes that models using additional information (e.g., node attributes, node types, relation types, prior knowledge) and neural-network structures have better performance, while conventional translation models (TransE) and semantic models (DistMult, ComplEx) perform less well.
Methods
- Design: a survey with theoretical analysis and comparison of existing KGE methods for link prediction, classifying models into three categories and five finer-grained main lines.
- Data and experiments: link-prediction experiments were conducted in a unified environment using a T640 Dell server, Ubuntu 16.04, an NVIDIA-SMI 418.67 GPU, and PyTorch, with original code and settings. Two benchmark datasets were used: FB15k (14,951 entities, 1345 relations, 592,213 triples) and FB15k-237 (14,541 entities, 237 relations, 310,116 triples).
- Implemented models: SACN, HypER, Bilinear+TR, RW-LMLM, LiteralE, SimplE, HAKE, RotatE, ConvE, DistMult, and ComplEx. Evaluation metrics include mean rank, mean reciprocal rank (MRR), and Hits@n.
Limitations
- The paper states that it only focused on link prediction of KGE; only used two datasets (FB15k and FB15k-237); only focused on static graphs; and its proposed categories for KGE models may not be perfect.
- Evident from the text: the experiments cover selected representative models rather than all surveyed models, and SACN’s FB15k results are missing in Table 5 (“----”).
- Evident from the text: the paper notes future work will use more datasets such as WN18, WN18RR, and FB13, and explore dynamic and heterogeneous graphs, indicating those are not covered here.

“The decoder, called Conv-TransE, removes the reshaping operation from the input entity and relation embeddings and lets the convolutional filters operate directly on input entities and relations in the same dimension.Thus, the translation properties of TransE remain, while the same prediction performance as ConvE is maintained.”

The Introduction and Conclusion describe SACN as an end-to-end network whose weighted GCN encoder uses graph connectivity, node attributes, and relation types. But the citing sentence conflates the encoder with the full model: WGCN is a component of SACN, which also has a Conv-TransE decoder. (LLM, conf=0.88)

The Proposed ConvKB model section describes 1 × 3 filters applied across the embedding triple to examine global relationships and generalize the transitional characteristics of transition-based models. It also states that ConvKB can reduce to TransE under specified settings. The Introduction contrasts ConvE’s reshaping operation with ConvKB’s k × 3 input matrix; page numbers are not provided in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.90)

Self-check
Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.
Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
HAKE exceeds both models said to outperform the others
MinorOn FB15k-237, HAKE has higher Hits@1, Hits@3, Hits@10, and MRR than both RotatE and HypER, contradicting the unqualified claim that those two outperform the other models.
“As shown in Table 5, RotatE [35] and HypER [24] outperform the other models”
“RotatE 0.2471 0.3802 0.5370 0.3432 0.7387 0.8240 0.8797 0.7905 HAKE 0.2561 0.3871 0.5488 0.3523”
Hits@n is defined in the opposite direction from the results
MinorIf Hits@n were the proportion of ranks larger than n, Hits@1 could not be smaller than Hits@3 or Hits@10 for the same model. The reported RotatE values increase from 0.2471 to 0.3802 to 0.5370.
“Hits@n (the proportion of ranks larger than n)”
“Hits@1 Hits@3 Hits@10 MRR Hits@1 Hits@3 Hits@10 MRR RotatE 0.2471 0.3802 0.5370”
The number of model categories changes
MinorThe abstract says the representative models are classified into five categories, while the introduction says the paper categorizes KGE models into three groups.
“Then, we investigate several representative models that are classified into five categories.”
“In this paper, we comprehensively survey existing KGE models and categorize them into three groups: translational-distance-based models, semantic-matching-based models and neural-network-based models.”
Link prediction is both said to include and exclude entity prediction
MinorSection 2.2 explicitly defines entity prediction as a subtask of link prediction, whereas the conclusion treats entity prediction as a task to study beyond this survey's focus on link prediction.
“It has two subtasks: entity prediction, also called entity ranking, for predicting missing entities”
“This survey only focused on the link prediction of KGE; we will research more tasks of knowledge graph completion in the future, such as entity prediction, entity classification and triple classification.”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-23, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-23 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
