Apprendre Understanding Entities, Relations, and Triples

Knowledge Graphs and Embeddings

Glissez pour afficher le menu

To understand knowledge graphs, you first need to grasp three core concepts: entities, relations, and triples. Imagine a knowledge graph as a network that models the real world using nodes and connections. In this network, an entity is any distinct thing or object — such as a person, city, or company. For example, "Alice", "Paris", and "Google" are all entities. A relation describes how two entities are connected, such as "lives_in", "founded", or "born_in". Relations give meaning to the links between entities. A triple is a simple statement that combines two entities and a relation, forming a fact: for instance, ("Alice", "lives_in", "Paris") says that Alice lives in Paris. Triples are the building blocks of knowledge graphs, letting you represent complex information as a set of simple, connected facts.

# Example: Mini knowledge graph represented as triples (head, relation, tail)
triples = [
    ("Alice", "lives_in", "Paris"),
    ("Bob", "works_at", "Google"),
    ("Paris", "located_in", "France"),
    ("Google", "headquartered_in", "California"),
    ("Alice", "knows", "Bob"),
]

for triple in triples:
    print(triple)

Definition

In knowledge graphs, a triple is the atomic unit of information. Each triple connects two entities through a relation, forming a single, unambiguous fact. This structure allows knowledge graphs to represent vast amounts of information in a standardized and easily searchable way.
