From Global Search to Local Lookup: Scalable Knowledge Base Completion via Differentiable Guarded Logic

Summary: GuardNet uses guarded first-order logic to turn global rule grounding into neighborhood lookups over existing KB edges, reducing sparse-data complexity from quadratic to linear. It scales to 377K concepts while improving prediction accuracy and ontological consistency. (summarized by gpt-6-luna on Oct 22 2026)
