Open source library based on TensorFlow that predicts links between concepts in a knowledge graph.

AmpliGraph is a suite of neural machine learning models for relational Learning, a branch of machine learning that deals with supervised learning on knowledge graphs.

Use AmpliGraph if you need to:

  • Discover new knowledge from an existing knowledge graph.
  • Complete large knowledge graphs with missing statements.
  • Generate stand-alone knowledge graph embeddings.
  • Develop and evaluate a new relational model.

AmpliGraph's machine learning models generate knowledge graph embeddings, vector representations of concepts in a metric space:

It then combines embeddings with model-specific scoring functions to predict unseen and novel links:

AmpliGraph 2.0.0 is now available!

The new version features TensorFlow 2 back-end and Keras style APIs that makes it faster, easier to use and extend the support for multiple features. Further, the data input/output pipeline has changed, and the support for some obsolete models was discontinued.
See the Changelog for a more thorough list of changes.

Key Features

  • Intuitive APIs: AmpliGraph APIs are designed to reduce the code amount required to learn models that predict links in knowledge graphs. The new version AmpliGraph 2 APIs are in Keras style, making the user experience even smoother.
  • GPU-Ready: AmpliGraph 2 is based on TensorFlow 2, and it is designed to run seamlessly on CPU and GPU devices - to speed-up training.
  • Extensible: Roll your own knowledge graph embeddings model by extending AmpliGraph base estimators.

Modules

AmpliGraph includes the following submodules:

  • Datasets: helper functions to load datasets (knowledge graphs).
  • Models: knowledge graph embedding models. AmpliGraph 2 contains TransE, DistMult, ComplEx, HolE (More to come!)
  • Evaluation: metrics and evaluation protocols to assess the predictive power of the models.
  • Discovery: High-level convenience APIs for knowledge discovery (discover new facts, cluster entities, predict near duplicates).
  • Compat: submodule that extends the compatibility of AmpliGraph 2 APIs to those of AmpliGraph 1.x for the user already familiar with them.

Installation

Prerequisites

  • Linux, macOS, Windows
  • Python ≥ 3.8

Provision a Virtual Environment

To provision a virtual environment for installing AmpliGraph, any option can work; here we will give provide the instruction for using venv and Conda.

venv

The first step is to create and activate the virtual environment.

python3.8 -m venv PATH/TO/NEW/VIRTUAL_ENVIRONMENT
source PATH/TO/NEW/VIRTUAL_ENVIRONMENT/bin/activate

Once this is done, we can proceed with the installation of TensorFlow 2:

pip install "tensorflow==2.9.0"

If you are installing Tensorflow on MacOS, instead of the following please use:

pip install "tensorflow-macos==2.9.0"

IMPORTANT: the installation of TensorFlow can be tricky on Mac OS with the Apple silicon chip. Though venv can provide a smooth experience, we invite you to refer to the dedicated section down below and consider using conda if some issues persist in alignment with the Tensorflow Plugin page on Apple developer site.

Conda

The first step is to create and activate the virtual environment.

conda create --name ampligraph python=3.8
source activate ampligraph

Once this is done, we can proceed with the installation of TensorFlow 2, which can be done through pip or conda.

pip install "tensorflow==2.9.0"

or 

conda install "tensorflow==2.9.0"

Install TensorFlow 2 for Mac OS M1 chip

When installing TensorFlow 2 for Mac OS with Apple silicon chip we recommend to use a conda environment.

conda create --name ampligraph python=3.8
source activate ampligraph

After having created and activated the virtual environment, run the following to install Tensorflow.

conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps
pip install --user tensorflow-macos==2.9.0
pip install --user tensorflow-metal==0.6

In case of problems with the installation or for further details, refer to Tensorflow Plugin page on the official Apple developer website.

Install AmpliGraph

Once the installation of Tensorflow is complete, we can proceed with the installation of AmpliGraph.

To install the latest stable release from pip:

pip install ampligraph

To sanity check the installation, run the following:

>>> import ampligraph
>>> ampligraph.__version__
'2.1.0'

If instead you want the most recent development version, you can clone the repository from GitHub, install AmpliGraph from source and checkout the develop branch. In this way, your local working copy will be on the latest commit on the develop branch.

git clone https://github.com/Accenture/AmpliGraph.git
cd AmpliGraph
git checkout develop
pip install -e .

Notice that the code snippet above installs the library in editable mode (-e).

To sanity check the installation run the following:

>>> import ampligraph
>>> ampligraph.__version__
'2.1-dev'

Predictive Power Evaluation (MRR Filtered)

AmpliGraph includes implementations of TransE, DistMult, ComplEx, HolE and RotatE. Versions <2.0 also includes ConvE, and ConvKB. Their predictive power is reported below and compared against the state-of-the-art results in literature. More details available here.

Results above are computed assigning the worst rank to a positive in case of ties. Although this is the most conservative approach, some published literature may adopt an evaluation protocol that assigns the best rank instead.
