Abstract
A method, computer system, and computer program product for eliminating a redundant node from a knowledge graph is provided. A structural analysis of a knowledge graph is performed by determining that two nodes have a similar structure. An empirical analysis is performed by determining a search result correlation of potentially redundant nodes, said search result correlation comprising a correlation of search result nodes generated from different search queries to said knowledge graph or a correlation of search results due to selected search result nodes in subtrees of said potentially redundant nodes. Results of said structural analysis and said empirical analysis are combined to generate a redundancy confidence level value for two said nodes. One of said two nodes is determined as redundant. One of said two redundant nodes is removed from the knowledge graph.
