The human mind is a powerful multifunctional knowledge storage and management
system that performs generalization, type inference, anomaly detection,
stereotyping, and other tasks. A dynamic KR system that appropriately profiles
over sparse inputs to provide complete expectations for unknown facets can help
with all these tasks. In this paper, we introduce the task of profiling,
inspired by theories and findings in social psychology about the potential of
profiles for reasoning and information processing. We describe two generic
state-of-the-art neural architectures that can be easily instantiated as
profiling machines to generate expectations and applied to any kind of
knowledge to fill gaps. We evaluate these methods against Wikidata and crowd
expectations, and compare the results to gain insight in the nature of
knowledge captured by various profiling methods. We make all code and data
available to facilitate future research.

介绍了基于社会心理学理论的 profile 在知识预测中的应用，提出了两种可实例化的神经架构，经过对维基数据和众包期望的评估和比较，揭示了各种 profiling 方法捕获知识的本质，同时将所有代码和数据公开，以促进未来的研究。
