System for multi-task distribution learning with numeric-aware knowledge graphs

Abstract

This disclosure provides methods and systems for predicting missing links and previously unknown numerals in a knowledge graph. A jointly trained multi-task machine learning model is disclosed for integrating a symbolic pipeline for predicting missing links and a regression numerical pipeline for predicting numerals with prediction uncertainty. The two prediction pipelines share a jointly trained embedding space of entities and relationships of the knowledge graph. The numerical pipeline additionally includes a second-layer multi-task regression neural network containing multiple regression neural networks for parallel numerical prediction tasks with a cross stich network allowing for information/model parameter sharing between the various parallel numerical prediction tasks.
