KNOWLEDGE GRAPH: What is a Knowledge Graph?
In this article, John Stegeman explains the concept of Knowledge Graphs and how they work. A knowledge graph is an organised representation of real-world entities and their relationships. Entities in a knowledge graph can represent objects, events, situations, or concepts. The relationships between these entities capture the context and meaning of how they are connected.
 
GRAPH DATABASE: Getting Started with Graph Databases with Jennifer Reif from Neo4j
Chris Engelbert sits down with Jennifer Reif, who explains how Neo4j stores data as entities and relationships. She highlights the advantages of Neo4j over traditional relational databases, especially in handling complex relationships without needing extensive knowledge of the data model upfront.
 
GRAPHRAG: Hybrid search – Retrieve from Graph and Embeddings
This article by Soumen Mondal explores how to build a powerful chatbot that not only retrieves information from documents but also integrates with knowledge graphs for enhanced insights. He then continues to perform Hybrid search RAG from graph and embeddings. The article also includes a video that shows his entire process.
 
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: Update on Pepsi post its Q12024 Earnings
Simon Chen analyses PepsiCo’s Q12024 earnings in a Knowledge Graph for a more insightful view into PepsiCo’s operations and financials than the traditional Company Profile page with siloed tables. From there, you can then launch into the data behind it, e.g. all PepsiCo’s segmented revenues and its largest competitors in each region.
