Abstract

In the field of education, knowledge graph fusion plays a crucial role. As a core technology of knowledge graph fusion, entity alignment aims to identify equivalent entity pairs across multiple knowledge graphs. Most existing entity alignment methods assume that each source entity has a corresponding entity in the target knowledge graph. However, when using cross-lingual and cross-graph entity sets, the problem of dangling entities arises. To address this issue, this paper proposes the Dual-Generator Shared-Adversarial Network Entity Alignment model (DGSAN-EA) . This model utilizes partial parameter sharing and an optimal selection strategy to train two generators, selecting the optimal generator to conditionally generate new entities across knowledge graphs, thereby enhancing the dataset and solving the dangling entity problem. Furthermore, a progressive fusion strategy and the introduction of a distribution consistency loss function effectively resolve the distortion of fused feature information and the misalignment between modalities in multimodal entity alignment. Validation on multiple public datasets shows that compared to existing multimodal entity alignment models, DGSAN-EA achieves higher Hist@k and MMR scores, demonstrating its effectiveness in entity alignment tasks.
