Entity alignment refers to the process of discovering entities representing the same object in different knowledge graphs (KG). Recently, some studies have learned other information about entities, but they are aspect-level simple information associations, and thus only rough entity representations can be obtained, and the advantage of multi-faceted information is lost. In this paper, a novel node-level information strong fusion framework (SFEA) is proposed, based on four aspects: structure, attribute, relation and names. The attribute information and name information are learned first, then structure information is learned based on these two aspects of information through graph convolutional network (GCN), the alignment signals from attribute and name are already carried at the beginning of the learning structure. In the process of continuous propagation of multi-hop neighborhoods, the effect of strong fusion of structure, attribute and name information is achieved and the more meticulous entity representations are obtained. Additionally, through the continuous interaction between sub-alignment tasks, the effect of entity alignment is enhanced. An iterative framework is designed to improve performance while reducing the impact on pre-aligned seed pairs. Furthermore, extensive experiments demonstrate that the model improves the accuracy of entity alignment and significantly outperforms 13 previous state-of-the-art methods.
