Creating Knowledge Graphs using Distributional Semantic Models

This report researches a method for creating knowledge graphs, a specific way of structuring information, using distributional semantic models. Two different algorithms for selecting graph edges and two different algorithms for labelling edges are tried, and variations of those are evaluated. We perform experiments comparing our knowledge graphs with existing manually constructed knowledge graphs of high quality, with respect to graph structure and edge labels. We find that the algorithms usually produces graphs with a structure similar to that of manually constructed knowledge graphs, as long as the data set is sufficiently large and general, and that the similarity of edge labels to manually chosen edge labels vary widely depending on input
