  • Publication number: 20250148353
    Abstract: Described are a method, system, and computer program product for machine learning using decoupled knowledge graphs. The method includes generating a graph including nodes connected by edges based on data of entities in a network. Generating the graph includes generating entity nodes, determining a distribution of values for an attribute of the entities, generating a lower attribute node associated with a lower subset of values for the attribute, generating a higher attribute node associated with a higher subset of values for the attribute, and generating edges connecting the nodes. The method also includes initializing node embeddings, and generating representations of the nodes by repeating, until convergence, updating the embeddings of the entity nodes while holding other embeddings static, and updating the embeddings of the non-entity nodes while holding other embeddings static. The method further includes executing a machine learning model using the representations.
