This Week in Neo4j: ML on Graphs, Extraction Pipelines, Kubernetes, Cybersecurity, Knowledge Graph, and More Copy


There’s a wealth of fine content and varied perspectives on graphs in this week’s newsletter. The not-to-miss articles include transferring unstructured text – including emails, news articles, and more – into a knowledge graph. We also show you how to use Neo4j to analyze data for your ML project.

Keep reading for a discussion about the uses of graph databases in cybersecurity, and don’t miss the piece on Kubernetes deployment with the Neo4j Helm chart. We also test the ability of knowledge graphs to represent domains of knowledge, exploring how a graph encompassing multiple domains is used for discovering COVID-19 treatments.

Enjoy the graphy goodness!

Cheers,
Yolande Poirier

FROM TEXT TO A KNOWLEDGE GRAPH: The Information Extraction Pipeline
The information to incorporate into knowledge graphs is often unstructured text, such as news articles, emails and scientific journal entries. Tomaz Bratanic shares how to build an information extraction pipeline to transform unstructured text inputs into a useful knowledge graph.
 
GRAPH DATA SCIENCE:  Demonstrating ML on Graphs
Dimitris Panagopoulos demonstrates how to use Neo4j and Python to analyze a sample of arXiv articles. The sample consists of 600 articles on mathematics from arXiv, an open-access archive of scholarly articles. He shares all the Python code in GitHub.
