Polaris: Coupled Orbital Polar Embeddings for Hierarchical Concept Learning
- 通过角度和半径解耦语义与结构,避免相互干扰
- 在多父节点图上实现最高19点的召回率提升,均值排名降低60%
- 适合构建医疗、电商等复杂层级知识系统
现实世界知识常以层级形式组织,如产品分类、医学本体和标签树,但学习其表示面临结构不对称与语义噪声的挑战。本文提出Polaris,一种基于极坐标球面嵌入框架,通过角几何与半径分离语义与层级,实现无干扰的语义与结构学习。将潜在表示投影至北极切空间,经指数映射后使用球面线性层学习单位范数表示。Polaris结合局部鲁棒约束、防止几何坍缩的全局正则化,以及考虑不确定性的非对称目标,促进方向性包含。推理时采用结构引导检索,先缩小候选父节点范围再进行最终排序。在不同分类扩展场景(树形结构、多父有向无环图、多模态层级)下评估,相较十四种强基线模型,顶K召回率最高提升约19点,均值排名下降约60%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Real-world knowledge is often organized as hierarchies such as product taxonomies, medical ontologies, and label trees, yet learning hierarchical representations is challenging due to asymmetric structure and noisy semantics. We introduce Polaris, a polar hyperspherical embedding framework that separates semanticity from hierarchy using angular geometry and radius, enabling the learning of meaning and structure without interference. To map latent representation onto the sphere, we project it to the tangent space at the north pole, apply the exponential map, and learn unit-norm representations using spherical linear layers. Polaris then combines robust local constraints, global regularization that prevents geometric collapse, and uncertainty-aware asymmetric objectives that encourage directional containment. At inference time, Polaris uses structure-guided retrieval to efficiently narrow down candidate parents before final ranking. We evaluate Polaris on different settings of taxonomy expansion - spanning trees, multi-parent DAGs, and multimodal hierarchies, showing consistent improvements of up to ~19 points in top-K retrieval and up to ~60% reduction in mean rank over fourteen strong baselines.
