LibKGE - A knowledge graph embedding library for reproducible research
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:51 reviews, 562 commits, 52 PRs in 2 years 11 months
Contributions summary:Rainer primarily contributed to the development of a knowledge graph embedding library. Their work involved refactoring the project by moving source files into a modular "kge" module, including the implementation of various experiment types and models. They also updated the dataset download scripts to include several new datasets, enhancing the library's capabilities. Furthermore, the user implemented a more user-friendly configuration system for models.
