how to add a set of new concepts to an existing taxonomy.

> we study the taxonomy expansion task: given an
existing taxonomy and a set of new emerging concepts, we aim
to automatically expand the taxonomy to incorporate these new
concepts (without changing the existing relations in the given taxonomy).

> To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study on **how to
expand an existing directed acyclic graph (as we model a taxonomy
as a DAG) using self-supervised learning**.

Self-supervised framework, the existing taxonomy being used as training data: it learns a model to predict whether a query concept is the direct hyponym of an anchor concept.

> 2 techniques:
>
> 1. a **position-enhanced graph neural network that encodes the local structure of an anchor concept** in the existing taxonomy,
> 2. a noise-robust training objective that enables the learned model to be insensitive to the label noise in the self-supervision data.

Regarding 1: uses [GNN](/tag/graph_neural_networks.html) to model the "ego network" of concepts (potential “siblings”
and “grand parents” of the query concept).

> Regular
GNNs fail to distinguish nodes with different relative positions to
the query (i.e., some nodes are grand parents of the query while
the others are siblings of the query). To address this limitation, we
present a simple but effective enhancement to inject such position
information into GNNs using position embedding. We show that
such embedding can be easily integrated with existing GNN architectures
(e.g., [GCN](/tag/graph_convolutional_networks) and GAT) and significantly boosts the
prediction performance

Regarding point 2: uses InfoNCE loss, cf. [Contrastive Predictive Coding](/doc/?uri=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fabs%2F1807.03748)

> Instead of predicting
whether each individual ⟨query concept, anchor concept⟩ pair
is positive or not, we first group all pairs sharing the same query
concept into a single training instance and learn a model to select
the positive pair among other negative ones from the group.

(Hum, ça me rappelle quelque chose)

> assume each concept (in existing taxonomy + set of new concepts) has an initial embedding
vector learned from some text associated with this concept.

To keep things tractable, only attempts to find a single parent node of each new concept.
