Joint Embeddings of Hierarchical Categories and Entities

Due to the lack of structured knowledge applied in learning distributed representation of categories, existing work cannot incorporate category hierarchies into entity information. We propose a framework that embeds entities and categories into a semantic space by integrating structured knowledge and taxonomy hierarchy from large knowledge bases. The framework allows to compute meaningful semantic relatedness between entities and categories. Compared with the previous state of the art, our framework can handle both single-word concepts and multipleword concepts with superior performance in concept categorization and semantic relatedness.
