🏖️ MEAformer: Multi-modal Entity Alignment Transformer for Meta Modality Hybrid

This paper introduces MEAformer, a multi-modal entity alignment transformer approach for meta modality hybrid, which dynamically predicts the mutual correlation coefficients among modalities for more fine-grained entity-level modality fusion and alignment.

🎯 Results

$\bf{H@1}$ Performance with the Settings: w/o surface & Non-iterative in UMAEA. We modified part of the MSNEA to involve not using the content of attribute values but only the attribute types themselves (See issues for details):

Method	$\bf{DBP15K_{ZH-EN}}$	$\bf{DBP15K_{JA-EN}}$	$\bf{DBP15K_{FR-EN}}$
MSNEA	.609	.541	.557
EVA	.683	.669	.686
MCLEA	.726	.719	.719
MEAformer	.772	.764	.771

📚 Dataset

• ❗NOTE: Download from GoogleDrive (1.26G) and unzip it to make those files satisfy the following file hierarchy:

ROOT
├── data
│   └── mmkg
└── code
    └── MEAformer

• Case analysis Jupyter script: GoogleDrive (180M) base on the raw images of entities (need to be unzip). I hope this gives you a good understanding of this dataset.
• [ Option ] The raw Relations & Attributes appeared in DBP15k and case from MEAformer can be downloaded from Huggingface (150M).
• [ Option ] The raw images of entities appeared in DBP15k can be downloaded from Baidu Cloud Drive (50GB) with the pass code mmea. All images are saved as title-image pairs in dictionaries and can be accessed with the following code :

import pickle
zh_images = pickle.load(open("eva_image_resources/dbp15k/zh_dbp15k_link_img_dict_full.pkl",'rb'))
print(en_images["http://zh.dbpedia.org/resource/香港有線電視"].size)
