Recently, several studies have explored methods for using KG embedding to answer logical
queries. These approaches either treat embedding learning and query answering as two
separated learning tasks, or fail to deal with the variability of contributions from different
query paths. We proposed to leverage a graph attention mechanism to handle the unequal
contribution of different query paths. However, commonly used graph attention assumes that

Recently, several studies have explored methods for using KG embedding to answer logical queries. These approaches either treat embedding learning and query answering as two separated learning tasks, or fail to deal with the variability of contributions from different query paths. We proposed to leverage a graph attention mechanism to handle the unequal contribution of different query paths. However, commonly used graph attention assumes that the center node embedding is provided, which is unavailable in this task since the center node is to be predicted. To solve this problem we propose a multi-head attention-based end-to-end logical query answering model, called Contextual Graph Attention model (CGA), which uses an initial neighborhood aggregation layer to generate the center embedding, and the whole model is trained jointly on the original KG structure as well as the sampled query-answer pairs. We also introduce two new datasets, DB18 and WikiGeo19, which are rather large in size compared to the existing datasets and contain many more relation types, and use them to evaluate the performance of the proposed model. Our result shows that the proposed CGA with fewer learnable parameters consistently outperforms the baseline models on both datasets as well as Bio dataset.
