eXpath: Explaining Knowledge Graph Link Prediction with Ontological Closed Path Rules
Summary: eXpath leverages ontological closed-path rules to produce semantically meaningful path-based explanations for embedding-based KG link prediction, moving beyond local single-link justifications. Improves explanation quality ≈20%, reduces explanation time 61.4%, and composes with single-link explainers. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
