Datashare and Neo4j: From Unstructured Documents to Knowledge Graphs for Investigative Journalism

Session Track: Data Science

Session Time:

Session description

Have you ever wondered how journalists extracted valuable information from the millions of documents of the Panama Papers or Pandora Papers? In this session, Clément, ML Engineer at the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), will explain how Neo4j and Datashare (ICIJ’s search engine) helped solve this challenge. You will learn how Datashare’s new Neo4j plugin allows journalists to turn investigation documents into knowledge graphs, connecting the dots between people and corporate entities. You will then learn how to use Neo4j to uncover valuable insights from such graphs to reveal complex links between entities, identify central actors, analyze exchanges, and identify similar entities.
