Negative sampling (NS) is widely used in knowledge graph embedding (KGE), which aims to generate negative triples to make a positive-negative contrast during training. However, existing NS methods are unsuitable when multi-modal information is considered in KGE models. They are also inefficient due to their complex design. In this paper, we propose Modality-Aware Negative Sampling (MANS) for multi-modal knowledge graph embedding (MMKGE) to address the mentioned problems. MANS could align structural and visual embeddings for entities in KGs and learn meaningful embeddings to perform better in multi-modal KGE while keeping lightweight and efficient. Empirical results on two benchmarks demonstrate that MANS outperforms existing NS methods. Meanwhile, we make further explorations about MANS to confirm its effectiveness.
