Description:
Machine knowledge about entities and their relationships has been a long-standing goal for AI researchers. Over the last 15 years, thousands of public knowledge graphs have been automatically constructed from various web sources. They are crucial for use cases such as search engines. Yet, existing web-scale knowledge graphs focus on collecting positive statements, and store very little to no negatives. Due to their incompleteness, the truth of absent information remains unknown, which compromises the usability of the knowledge graph. In this dissertation: First, I make the case for selective materialization of salient negative statements in open-world knowledge graphs. Second, I present our methods to automatically infer them from encyclopedic and commonsense knowledge graphs, by locally inferring closed-world topics from reference comparable entities. I then discuss our evaluation fin-dings on metrics such as correctness and salience. Finally, I conclude with open challenges and future opportunities.Machine knowledge about entities and their relationships has been a long-standing goal for AI researchers.
