Rethink predicates such as subclass_of, similar_to, etc #230

Open karafecho opened 6 hours ago

karafecho commented 6 hours ago

This issue is to suggest that we treat subclass_of edges, similar_to edges, and related ones in the same manner as we treat occurs_together_in_literature_withedges, meaning that we return them in the answer subgraphs, but not as nodes/edges in the answer results, and probably not consider those metrics as part of the scoring/ranking. I understand why we added those edges, but they feel more like node properties or supporting evidence to me, not "knowledge" that is returned in response to a user query.

For example, this result set dilutes the user intention and any meaningful results:

Alternatively, or in addition to, perhaps we can support a feature that allows users to "turn off" subclassing or specific predicates? That might be the easier option.

Note that this issue is related to #139 and #194.
