BOSTON, MA, Nov. 28th, 2018 – GraphAware, a leading Neo4j consulting practice, today announced the official launch of its US entity GraphAware, Inc., headquartered in Boston, MA. This strategic investment by GraphAware aligns with Neo4j’s own rapid market expansion.

Do you think there is no space for a graph database in your company? Or it would be a huge effort to integrate a graph database into your product? I have to tell you: You can use a graph database like Neo4j without touching your product, and you can use it for managing your company’s knowledge as well as to improve your software development process. So, even if your business problem is not inherently graphy (hard to believe in 2018), there are a few reasons why you should think about your environment as a graph.

Data is everywhere. News, blog posts, emails, videos and chats are just a few examples of the multiple streams of data we encounter on a daily basis. The majority of these streams contain textual data – written language – containing countless facts, observations, perspectives and insights that could make or break your business.

It is often useful to relate a piece of text with the sentiment expressed in it. Extracting and processing sentiments from text provides not only a new emotional access pattern to your corpus but also new knowledge which can reveal new insights. Suppose you want to build a recommendation engine which leverages reviews to spot detailed strengths and weaknesses of different hotels, such as good location but bad staff. Or, it certainly makes a difference whether an article talks about your organization in a positive or negative manner.

One of the key components of Information Extraction (IE) and Knowledge Discovery (KD) is Named Entity Recognition, which is a machine learning technique that provides us with generalization capabilities based on lexical and contextual information. Named Entities are specific language elements that belong to certain predefined categories, such as persons names, locations, organizations, chemical elements or names of space missions. They are not easy to find and subsequently classify (for example, organizations and space missions share similar formatting and sometimes even context), but having them is of significant help for various tasks: improving search capabilities relating documents among themselves or...

Representation is one of the most complex and compelling tasks in machine learning. The way in which we represent facts, events, objects, labels, etc. affects how an autonomous learning agent can analyze them and extract insights, make predictions and deliver knowledge.

IntroductionIn the bucket filling problem you are given two empty buckets, each of a certain capacity, and a large supply of water. By filling, emptying and transferring water between the two buckets, you must try to end up with a situation where one of the buckets contains a required volume of water, or where both buckets together contain the required volume.

Nearly six years ago I started reading about this thing called Graph Data. Now unlike almost everyone in the modern world of Graph, I am not a coder. I was once upon a time but it has been many years since I typed a line of code. No I do not have a GitHub login. As an enterprise architect I often joke that I do powerpoint for a living. But I could see how this re-envisioning of data and how it could be used would transform enterprises. It is not just a technical change. It changes everything. People. Organisation. Knowledge....

The GraphAware Audit Module seamlessly and transparently captures the full audit history who, when, and how a graph was modified.

Enterprise IT requirements are demanding and solutions are expected to be reliable, scalable, and continuously available. Databases accomplish this through clustering, the ability of several instances to connect and conceptually appear and operate as a single unit.
