This Week in Neo4j: New GraphAcademy Course, Road to NODES Workshops, Link Prediction Pipelines, Graph Native Storage, and More


We just released the GraphAcademy course “Path Finding with Graph Data Science.” This new course teaches you how to find the shortest paths between pairs of nodes and includes examples for both weighted and unweighted relationships. All the GraphAcademy courses give you practical knowledge with demos and data sets you can experiment with.

Stay on top of the latest graph technology with our free two-hour pre-NODES workshops on Apache Hop, Graph EDA, Apache Arrow, healthcare analytics, and Neo4j graph database offered by top graph practitioners. NODES is a free 24-hour event on Nov 16 and 17, featuring over 100 graph experts from around the world sharing their knowledge. Among all of the unique use cases that are represented, you are certain to have your graph quest fulfilled!

Cheers,
Yolande Poirier



Using the examples of COVID-19 data and data from health studies in epidemiology, Dagmar showcases a knowledge graph integrating multiple data sources during the NODES conference.

Dagmar is a Professor of Medical Informatics at University Medicine Greifswald. She is a computer scientist by training with a specialization in databases and information systems. Dagmar is highly interested in how graph databases can lead to better data integration and exploration. Don’t miss it: save your seat now!

NEW COURSE: New GraphAcademy Course: Path Finding With GDS
If you’re interested in learning how to use the Neo4j Graph Data Science library to find weighted shortest paths, check out the free one-hour Graph Academy course: “Path Finding with GDS.” This new course is intended for analysts and data scientists who have basic knowledge of Neo4j, Cypher, and Graph Data Science. If needed, you can take care of the prerequisite Neo4j Graph Data Science fundamentals in a separate one-hour course to level up your skills.
 
DATA STRUCTURE: Graph Data Model and Graph Native Storage & Processing
In this blog, Bijeet Singh takes a look at graph native storage and how the data structures of Neo4j nodes and relationships are modeled and stored. He also examines how traversal is accomplished by scanning the node relationship chain.
 
VIDEO TUTORIAL: Link Predictions With Neo4j GDS Explained

Philipp Brunenberg explores the Neo4j Graph Data Science Link Prediction pipeline. Follow along to create the pipeline and avoid common pitfalls. He uses the publicly available Citation Network dataset to implement a prediction use case.

OPEN SOURCE: Hacktoberfest at Neo4j

Get involved with Hacktoberfest, a month-long event running from October 4 until October 31. Folks of all levels of experience are invited to contribute to their favorite open source projects. Since 2014, Hacktoberfest (run by DigitalOcean, Docker) has been rewarding contributors to open source projects with swag in exchange for pull requests, and more recently even planting trees in the contributor’s name.
