Learning relations based on evidence from knowledge bases relies on processing the available relation instances. Many relations, however, have clear domain and range, which we hypothesize could help learn a better, more generalizing, model. We include such information in the RESCAL model in the form of a regularization factor added to the loss function that takes into account the types (categories) of the entities that appear as arguments to relations in the knowledge base. We note increased performance compared to the baseline model in terms of mean reciprocal rank and hits@N, N = 1, 3, 10. Furthermore, we discover scenarios that significantly impact the effectiveness of the type regularizer.
@cite_11 make use the of type information and produce a variation of Rescal they call Trescal -- Typed Rescal . The type information is used to improve the efficiency of the model, by reducing the size of the entity matrix in the computation of the loss function to entities belonging to the domain and range of the relation. The entity type as such is only implicitly incorporated, as something shared by the entities singled out for computing the loss function.

While relation extraction has traditionally been viewed as a task relying solely on textual data, recent work has shown that by taking as input existing facts in the form of entity-relation triples from both knowledge bases and textual data, the performance of relation extraction can be improved significantly. Following this new paradigm, we propose a tensor decomposition approach for knowledge base embedding that is highly scalable, and is especially suitable for relation extraction. By leveraging relational domain knowledge about entity type information, our learning algorithm is significantly faster than previous approaches and is better able to discover new relations missing from the database. In addition, when applied to a relation extraction task, our approach alone is comparable to several existing systems, and improves the weighted mean average precision of a state-of-theart method by 10 points when used as a subcomponent.
