Evaluating the Effectiveness of Margin Parameter when Learning Knowledge Embedding Representation for Domain-specific Multi-relational Categorized Data
share
Learning knowledge representation is an increasingly important technology that supports a variety of machine learning related applications. However, the choice of hyperparameters is seldom justified and usually relies on exhaustive search. Understanding the effect of hyperparameter combinations on embedding quality is crucial to avoid the inefficient process and enhance practicality of vector representation methods. We evaluate the effects of distinct values for the margin parameter focused on translational embedding representation models for multi-relational categorized data. We assess the margin influence regarding the quality of embedding models by contrasting traditional link prediction task accuracy against a classification task. The findings provide evidence that lower values of margin are not rigorous enough to help with the learning process, whereas larger values produce much noise pushing the entities beyond to the surface of the hyperspace, thus requiring constant regularization. Finally, the correlation between link prediction and classification accuracy shows traditional validation protocol for embedding models is a weak metric to represent the quality of embedding representation.
