Dr. Alessandro Negro, Chief Scientist at GraphAware, presents on knowledge graphs at GraphTour DC.
In this talk, Luanne talks about ways how to use graphs in order to reduce chaos while delivering complex projects. Streamlining dependencies by promoting zero waste.
The age of touch could soon come to an end. From smartphones and smartwatches to home devices and in-car systems, touch is no longer the primary user interface. In this talk, Christophe will guide you through the design of Voice-Driven UIs and show why Neo4j, the world's leading graph database, is a suitable engine for storing and computing context-aware intents in order to improve the user experience.
Knowledge Graphs are becoming the de-facto solution for managing complex aggregated knowledge, and Neo4j is the leading platform for storing and querying connected data. In this talk, Christophe will describe a graph-centric cognitive computing pipeline and detail the process from the ingestion of unstructured text up to the generation of a knowledge graph, queryable using natural language through chatbots built with IBM Watson Conversation.
Graph-based machine learning is becoming an important trend in Artificial Intelligence, transcending a lot of other techniques. Using graphs as basic representation of data for ML purposes has several advantages: (i) the data is already modeled for further analysis, explicitly representing connections and relationships between things and concepts; (ii) graphs can easily combine multiple sources into a single graph representation and learn over them, creating Knowledge Graphs; (iii) improving computation performances and quality. The talk will discuss these advantages and present applications in the context of recommendation engines and natural language processing.

See how combining technologies adds another level of quality to search results. In this new Refcard, we include code and examples for using Elasticsearch to enable full-text search and Neo4j to power graph-aided search.
Download PDFSDN is a Spring Data project for Neo4j. It uses Neo4j-OGM under the hood (very much like Spring Data JPA uses JPA) and provides functionality known from the Spring Data world like repositories, derived finders or auditing. Neo4j recently released Spring Data 2.0 (Kay) / Spring Data Neo4j 5.0 and in this session we'll show some of the new cool features. This release contains support for dynamic properties, schema based loading, field access only, and more.
In this talk, Luanne will share insights about the business value of knowledge graphs and their contribution to relevant search in an e-commerce domain for a Neo4j customer. With text search and catalog navigation being the entry point of users to the system and in fact, driving revenue, the talk will explain the challenges of relevant search and how graph models address them. Dr. Alessandro will then talk about various techniques used for information extraction and graph modelling. He will also demonstrate how to seamlessly introduce knowledge graphs into an existing infrastructure and integrate with other tools such as ElasticSearch, Kafka, Apache Spark, OpenNLP and Stanford NLP.
Here's another great interview with a long time Graphista that has done a lot of really interesting work in our French community, and is now having lots of graph-fun at GraphAware: Nicolas Mervaillie.

Streamed live on Aug 3, 2017 Following on from the Introduction to Neo4j Bolt Drivers in this session we'll be hosting a roundtable where Neo4j driver authors will be sharing their experiences.
Vince Bickers, Principal Consultant, GraphAware:Neo4j-Databridge is a fully-featured ETL tool specifically built for Neo4j, and designed for usability, expressive power and high performance. It has been created to help solve the most common problems faced by large enterprises when importing data into Neo4j - data locality, multiple data sources and formats, performance when loading very large data sets, bespoke data conversions, inclusion of non-tabular data, filtering, merging and de-duplication...
In this webinar, we’ll take a quick tour of the main features of Neo4j-Databridge and understand how it can to help to solve these problems and facilitate importing your data easily and quickly into Neo4j.

In the previous years we have got the Polyglot Persistence. This is a fancy term which means that when storing data, it is best to use multiple data storage technologies, chosen based upon the way data is being used by. If we have multiple persistence, then sometimes we need polyglot operations. One of the most popular use case in Big Data is searching. Almost all websites provide a search function to their users, to be able to find what they are looking for. Usually it is an Apache Lucene based solution, like Elasticsearch or Solr. I will show you how to enrich this kind of searching with the power of graph based searches, and implement a polyglot search functionality, where the results are based on the cooperation of a search engine and a graph based real time recommendation.
With more than 9 million users and 21 million repositories, Github is the world's biggest code sharing platform. Its API offers a window to the public activity of about 600.000 events a day. In this talk you will discover how this amount of user activities transformed in a suitable graph can become a new source of knowledge.
A great part of the world's knowledge is stored using text in natural language, but using it in an effective way is still a major challenge. Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques provide the basis for harnessing this huge amount of data and converting it into a useful source of knowledge for further processing. It uses computer science, artificial intelligence and formal linguistics concepts to analyze natural language, aiming at deriving meaningful and useful information from text.
