Hot on the heels of the recently revamped Intro to Neo4j and Neo4j Administration training courses, we’re happy to announce the launch of two new Neo4j Online courses: Data Science with Neo4j and Applied Graph Algorithms.
These free Neo4j training courses introduce you to using Neo4j as part of your Data Science and Machine Learning workflows.
You’ll learn how to do this with the help of the aminer.org citation dataset, a dataset that contains papers, authors and citations from DBLP – a computer science bibliography website, and the Yelp public dataset, with data on businesses and user reviews.
Why did you create these new training courses?
Over the last 12-18 months, we’ve had more and more people ask us how graphs can improve their data science and machine learning workflows, so we wanted to create courses that satisfied this need, both for data scientists and application developers who want to take advantage of this functionality.
Who are these courses for?
We’ve designed the Data Science course for data scientists and data analysts, but application developers may also find it interesting, and having some Python experience will be helpful. For the Applied Graph Algorithms course, we’ve focused on showing how application developers can use graph algorithms like PageRank, community detection, and similarity metrics to enhance their applications.
