Abstract: This study presents a method for constructing digital art knowledge graphs based on deep recurrent neural network (DRNN). A digital art knowledge graph is initially constructed by extracting visual features with ResNet50 and identifying textual entities via a CNN-BiLSTM-CRF model. Then, a DRDA model with bidirectional gated recurrent unit (GRU) and neighbour-aware attention is proposed for graph completion. Experiments on DBPedia50k and DBPedia500k show DRDA's superiority over three baselines. On DBPedia50k, DRDA improves head prediction MRR by up to 55% and achieves the lowest MR in tail prediction, though trailing slightly in Hits@10. On DBPedia500k, DRDA consistently outperforms baselines with MR reductions of 59-406 and MRR gains of 2%-19%. Further analysis identifies optimal depth and neighbour parameters, validating the model's scalability and its effectiveness in capturing complex semantic dependencies in large-scale multimodal art data.
