If this paper overloaded the term, than I did the same in my recent EMNLP paper where I used th term “Semantic Knowledge Graph” to refer to what I think you’re talking about.

Automatically created knowledge graphs using embeddings is a massively powerful technique and it should start to be exploited.
You can blame peer review for letting the definition of knowledge graph get watered down.
Also note that my coauthor. David, is the author of the first and still the best open source package for creating or working with semantic graphs.
