Combining embedding-based and symbol-based methods for entity alignment

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a two-stage framework for entity alignment from the perspective of combining the advantages of both symbol-based and embedding-based methods.

• A series of symbol-based methods are adopted to align the relation pairs in stage I.

• Symbol-based methods and a hybrid embedding model are combined to match the entity pairs in stage II.

• Experimental results from real-word datasets demonstrate that our proposed method is effective.

• Ablation studies illustrate our proposed strategies are versatile and can also be applied to other embedding models.
