That's what your view is requesting. <%= type.keyword_type_id %> It's not clear from the model code you have posted where the name lives, and whether it is the name of the category you want to show or the name of the keyword. Could you post your schema? Usually, if you have a whatever_id available, you can also get at the whatever itself directly, and then branch off of that to show the particular property of that object that you want to show. Maybe it's this: <%= type.keyword_type.name %> But I'm not sure, because your relationships seem to be one-sided.
