In this week’s online meetup opens in new tabDaniel Himmelstein explained how he used Neo4j to predict drug repurposing in opens in new tabProject Rephetio.
Daniel also presented opens in new tablightning talk on the same topic at GraphConnect SF 2016. He also wrote an opens in new tabaccompanying blog post.
Geocoding Paradise Papers, Graphs for Telecoms, Graph Algorithms
- In opens in new tabGeocoding Paradise Papers Addresses In Neo4j To Build Interactive Geographical Data Visualizations my colleague opens in new tabWill Lyon shows how to retrieve detailed address information from Google’s geocoding API using an APOC procedure. He then builds several visualizations using opens in new tabLeaflet.js.
- In opens in new tabTomaz Bratanic‘s latest blog post he shows how to opens in new tabrun graph algorithms over a projected movie graph.
- opens in new tabDr Philip Garnett has written a opens in new tabreally interesting blog post where he builds a graph containing people, companies, and organisations related to the opens in new tabmurder of Daniel Morgan. Philip also runs the opens in new tabAlgorithmic Indexing research project, which aims to integrate open source text processing tools to assist with the analysis, navigation, and reading of large document based data sets.
- My colleague opens in new tabJesús Barrasa presented a webinar opens in new tabGraph Solutions for Telecoms, in which he shows how to use graphs to solve common problems in the telecoms domain such as finding single points of failure, fraud detection, and root cause analysis.
Paradise Papers at ada_CONF
My colleague opens in new tabLouise Söderström explained how we build the Cypher query language as well as covering common graph use cases in a talk at opens in new tabada_CONF.
Louise Söderström presenting at ada_CONF
opens in new tabada_CONF is a one day hands-on tech and IT conference for women and/or trans people with the focus on sharing skills.

Tweet of the Week
My favourite tweet this week was by opens in new tabAnjani Dhrangadhariy:
Before: Sundays spent reading novels.
After: Sundays spent reading novels and thinking how you could model fictional characters and events into a graph. #Neo4j #ElenaFerrante #NeapolitanNovels pic.twitter.com/KOsYioOnrr— Anjani Dhrangadhariy (@ftTomAndJerry) November 27, 2017
Don’t forget to RT if you liked it too.
That’s all for this week. Have a great weekend!
Cheers, Mark
