Knowledge graphs (KGs) have become a cornerstone for structuring vast amounts of information, enabling sophisticated AI applications across domains. The progression to temporal knowledge graphs (TKGs) introduces time as an essential dimension, allowing for a dynamic representation of entity relationships. Despite their potential, TKGs often suffer from incompleteness, necessitating the development of temporal knowledge graph completion (TKGC) techniques. These methods, particularly focusing on interpolation within the known timeframe, aim to infer missing temporal facts and enhance the predictive capabilities of TKGs. The prevalent reliance on Euclidean space modeling in TKGC methods presents challenges in capturing the complex, hierarchical, and time-varying nature of TKGs. To overcome these limitations, we introduced the attention-based geometry interaction embedding (ATGIE) method, a novel approach that leverages the strengths of multiple geometric spaces, i.e., Euclidean, hyperbolic, and hypersphere, to model the intricacies of TKGs more effectively. ATGIE employs an attention mechanism to dynamically weigh the contributions of different geometric spaces, allowing it to adaptively form reliable spatial structures based on interactive geometric information. This multi-space modeling not only captures the diverse relationships within TKGs but also facilitates a nuanced understanding of how entities and their relationships evolve over time. Through extensive experiments, we demonstrate ATGIE’s superiority in TKGC tasks, showcasing its improvement over existing methods, robustness to noise, and sensitivity to temporal dynamics. The results highlight ATGIE’s potential to advance the state-of-the-art in TKGC, offering a promising direction for research and application in the field.
