A wealth of information is being produced every day on the internet. Understanding the news and other content-generating websites is becoming increasingly crucial to successfully run a business. It can help you spot opportunities, generate new leads, or provide indicators about the economy.

In this blog post, I want to show you how you can create a news monitoring data pipeline that combines natural language processing (NLP) and knowledge graph technologies.

The data pipeline consists of three parts. In the first part, we scrape articles from an Internet provider of news. Next, we run the articles through an NLP pipeline…

The use of knowledge graphs and graph analytics pipeline is getting more and more popular. If you keep an eye on the graph analytics field, you already know that graph neural networks are trending. Unfortunately, there aren’t many tutorials out there on how to use them in a practical application. For this reason, I have decided to write this blog post, where you will learn how to train a convolutional graph neural network and integrate it into your machine learning workflow to improve downstream classification model accuracy.

In this example, you will reproduce the protein role classification task from the…

In Europe, we are deep in the second wave of Covid lockdown. I’ve seen some motivational speakers talk about using this time and learning a new skillset. As a child, I’ve always liked nuclear experiments, so I decided to build a reactor in my basement and try some experiments. I’ve already got a basement, so now I only need to learn nuclear physics or maybe get some nuclear researchers to help me out.

I’ve got the idea from Estelle Scifo, who imported and analyzed the ArXiv dataset in Neo4j. We’ll take a detailed look at the nuclear experiments category of…

A wise man once said that the 2020–30 decade will be the decade of graph data science. Actually, that happened just a few days ago at the Nodes 2020 conference, and that wise man was Emil Eifrem presenting at the keynote of the Nodes 2020. In case you missed the conference, all the presentations are already available online.

Only fitting Emil’s statement, a pre-release of the 1.4 version of the Neo4j Graph Data Science library was published a couple of days ago. It is a significant milestone for the GDS library. A lot of new features were added in this…

In the first part of the series, we constructed a knowledge graph of monuments located in Spain from WikiData API. Now we’ll put on our graph data science goggles and explore various pathfinding algorithms available in the Neo4j Graph Data Science library. To top it off, we’ll look at a brute force solution for a Santa Claus problem. Now, you might wonder what a Santa Claus problem is. It is a variation of the traveling salesman problem, except we don’t require the solution to end in the same city as it started. …

After a short summer break, I have prepared a new blog series. In this first part, we will construct a knowledge graph of monuments located in Spain. As you might know, I have lately gained a lot of interest and respect for the wealth of knowledge that is available through the WikiData API. We will continue honing our SPARQL syntax knowledge and fetch the information regarding the monuments located in Spain from the WikiData API. I wasn’t aware of this before, but scraping the RDF data available online and importing it into Neo4j is such a popular topic that Dr…

After so much success with my previous lengthy post about combining NLP techniques and graphs, I have prepared another exhaustive tutorial. We will go over a couple of topics. We will begin by importing the data into Neo4j via the WikiData API. By the time we are done, we will scrape most of the LOTR information available on WikiData. In the next step, we will prepare an exploratory data analysis and show how to populate missing values based on some hypothesis. To top it off, we will run a couple of graph algorithms and prepare some beautiful visualizations.

Make sure…

My last blog post about combining graphs with NLP techniques was the most successful by far. It motivated me to write more about this topic. During my research, I stumbled upon the node2vec algorithm and noticed how easy it would be to implement it with Neo4j and Graph Data Science library. I guess that left me no other choice than to put on my Neo4j Data Science glasses and demonstrate how easy it is to implement it.
