Abstract:Multimodal Knowledge Graph Completion (MKGC) requires inferring missing entities from structural, textual, and visual cues. Existing diffusion-based MKGC methods usually denoise directly on raw multimodal features. Such a design forces the denoiser to simultaneously perform relation-dependent cue selection, cross-modal semantic alignment, and structure-aware entity generation, which introduces noisy and semantically inconsistent conditions for diffusion and consequently leads to suboptimal completion performance. To address this limitation, we propose MGDT: MLLM-Guided Diffusion Transformer with Relation-Adaptive Mixture-of-Experts (MGDT), a novel MKGC framework built on an align-then-diffuse paradigm. MGDT first employs a Relation-Adaptive Semantic Routing Mixture-of-Experts (RASR-MoE) module to select relation-relevant multimodal semantic transformation paths and suppress irrelevant modality interference. MGDT then uses a frozen Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) as a semantic anchor to align the routed multimodal representations into a unified latent space and reduce cross-modal semantic heterogeneity. Finally, a Knowledge Graph Diffusion Transformer (KGDT) performs graph-conditioned denoising generation in the aligned space to produce the missing entity representation. Experiments on three benchmark datasets show that MGDT consistently outperforms strong baselines.
