DESCRIPTION: Link prediction methods can be a valuable tool to identify new or missing facts in a knowledge graph, and in research involving the use of KGs it also can serve as a baseline method to perform tasks like item recommendation or disease diagnosis. Among the many models that can perform this task, rule-based models can be particularly useful, as they provide an inherent level of explainability and can more easily be applied to previously-unseen entities.
