Explaining Link Prediction Systems based on Knowledge Graph Embeddings

Summary: Introduces Kelpie, a model-agnostic explainability framework for embedding-based link prediction in knowledge graphs. It extracts necessary and sufficient explanations by tracing training facts, enabling interpretable predictions across LP models and outperforming baselines in experiments.
