  • Patent number: 8407253
    Abstract: A method for stabilizing a knowledge graph includes: generating a knowledge graph in which same entities in a semantic relation list between entities provided as an input are represented as a single node based on names and types of the entities; computing, on the knowledge graph, semantic similarities between all potential entity pairs of same entity types by comparing, for each potential entity pair, a type of relation associated with an entity in the entity pair and an opponent entity to the entity; and selecting, based on the semantic similarities, a representative entity from each of semantically similar entity pairs on the knowledge graph and integrating an opponent entity to the representative entity into the representative entity. The method further includes computing relation weighted values between the entities by using a graph analysis and statistic information, and adding the weighted values to the knowledge graph.
