Researchers from ShanghaiTech University and Alibaba Group introduced COMBO, a comprehensive benchmark for open knowledge graph canonicalization that extends beyond entities to include relation phrases and ontological types. The benchmark, along with new PLM-based baselines, demonstrates that contextualized language models achieve substantially improved performance, particularly for relation and ontology-level canonicalization, compared to prior methods.

Key insights

  • Contextual information from source sentences is crucial for disambiguating ambiguous relation phrases and inferring noun phrase types, leading to more accurate canonicalization.
  • Pretrained language models (PLMs) effectively capture this context, enabling substantial performance gains over previous methods, particularly for Relation Phrase (RPC) and Ontology-level NP Canonicalization (NPC-O).
  • A triple-level continuous pretraining strategy, tailored for knowledge graph structure, enhances PLM representations more effectively than standard subword-level pretraining for this task.
