Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method provide knowledge-based entity prediction. The system and method include obtaining a knowledge graph, which includes nodes and edges. A set of the nodes represent labels associated with a scene. The edges represent relations between related pairs of nodes. The system and method include identifying a path with multiple edges having multiple relations from a source node to a target node via at least one intermediary node between the source node and the target node. The path is reified by generating a reified relation to represent the multiple relations of the path. The reified relation is represented as a new edge that directly connects the source node to the target node. A reified knowledge graph structure is constructed based on the knowledge graph and the reified relation. The reified knowledge graph structure includes at least the source node, the target node, and the new edge.
