[1911.03681] E-BERT: Efficient-Yet-Effective Entity Embeddings for BERT

> way of **injecting factual knowledge about entities into the pretrained BERT model**.

(Feeding entity vectors
into BERT as if they
were wordpiece vectors without additional encoder
pretraining)

>
> **We align [Wikipedia2Vec](tag:wikipedia2vec) entity vectors (Yamada et al., 2016) with BERT's native wordpiece vector space and use the aligned entity vectors as if they were wordpiece vectors**. The resulting entity-enhanced version of BERT (called E-BERT) is similar in spirit to [ERNIE](tag:ernie) (Zhang et al., 2019) and [KnowBert](tag:knowbert) (Peters et al., 2019), but it **requires no expensive further pretraining of the BERT encoder**.

cross-lingual word vector alignment

> ([ERNIE](doc:2019/08/_1905_07129_ernie_enhanced_la) and [Knowbert](doc:2020/05/1909_04164_knowledge_enhanced)) are based on the design principle
that BERT be adapted to entity vectors. They introduce
new encoder layers to feed pretrained entity
vectors into the Transformer, and they require additional
pretraining to integrate the new parameters.
In contrast, E-BERT’s design principle is that entity
vectors be adapted to BERT.

(Wang et al., 2019c) and K-Adapter (Wang
et al., 2020)... Their factual knowledge
does not stem from entity vectors – instead, they
are trained in a multi-task setting on relation classification
and knowledge base completion.

[2010.03496] Inductive Entity Representations from Text via Link Prediction

Tags:

BLP "BERT for Link Prediction". Central idea: **training an entity encoder with a
link prediction objective** (using the textual descriptions of entities when computing entity representations - hence not failing with entities unknown in training)

> a method for **learning representations
of entities**, that uses a **pre-trained Transformer** based
architecture as an entity encoder, and
**link prediction training on a knowledge graph
with textual entity descriptions**.

> using entity descriptions,
an entity encoder is trained for link prediction in
a knowledge graph. The encoder can then be used
without fine-tuning to obtain features for entity classification
and information retrieval

Cites [Xie et al](doc:2020/10/representation_learning_of_know) and [Kepler](doc:2020/11/1911_06136_kepler_a_unified_). They claim that their
objective targeted exclusively for link prediction (and not an objective that combines language modeling
and link prediction as Kepler)
performs better than Kepler's more complex one.
