The applications of knowledge graph have received much attention in the field of artificial intelligence. The quality of knowledge graphs is, however, often influenced by missing facts. To predict the missing facts, various solid transformation based models have been proposed by mapping knowledge graphs into low dimensional spaces. However, most of the existing transformation based approaches ignore that there are multiple relations between two entities, which is common in the real world. In order to address this challenge, we propose a novel approach called DualQuatE that maps entities and relations into a dual quaternion space. Specifically, entities are represented by pure quaternions and relations are modeled based on the combination of rotation and translation from head to tail entities. After that we utilize interactions of different translations and rotations to distinguish various relations between head and tail entities. Experimental results exhibit that the performance of DualQuatE is competitive compared to the existing state-of-the-art models.
