The current practice of statistical learning from building information models mostly relies on the manual construction of table-oriented representation of the numeric data. This is while the lexical information contained in building information models can further reinforce the learning process by preserving the essential role of the semantic relationships. In this paper, application of one of the state-of-the-art knowledge graph embedding algorithms (RDF2Vec), yielded promising results with regards to an object clustering task. This paper contributes to the literature by shedding light on the potential of semantic embedding algorithms to facilitate downstream machine learning over building knowledge graphs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
