1. new neural tensor
network (**NTN**) suitable for reasoning over relationships between two entities. Generalizes several previous neural network models and provides a more
powerful way to model relational information than a standard neural network layer.
2. a new way to represent entities in knowledge bases, as the
average of  their constituting word vectorss, allowing the sharing of statistical strength between the words describing
each entity (e.g., Bank of China and China).
3. incorporation of word vectors which are trained on large unlabeled text

> We **learn to modify word representations
via grounding in world knowledge**. This essentially allows us to analyze word embeddings and
query them for specific relations. Furthermore, the resulting vectors could be used in other tasks
such as named entity recognition or relation classification in natural language

**Makes use of entity name**: NTN
first learns word vectors from an auxiliary news corpus, and
then initializes the representation of each entity by averaging
the vectors of words contained in its name. For example,
**the embedding of AlfredHitchcock is initialized by the
average word vectors of “alfred” and “hitchcock”**... This kind of methods model textual information
separately from KG facts, and hence fail to leverage
interactions between them.[src](doc:2019/05/knowledge_graph_embedding_a_su)
