FEATURED COMMUNITY MEMBER: Djordje Benn-Maksimovic

He researches robust and secure machine learning, aiming to optimise the public sector’s integration with recent advances in artificial intelligence.
Connect with him on LinkedIn.

In his session at NODES 2024 “Building Cypher Queries With Open-Source LLMs”, he builds a knowledge graph with small transformer-based models, such as GLiNER, for entity and relation extraction, combined with clustering and community detection algorithms to summarise common themes and topics

SYMFONY: Integrate Neo4j With Symfony: Handling Multiple Connections

In this post, Ghlen Nagels demonstrates how to configure multiple Neo4j drivers within Symfony using the Neo4j bundle. With configuration and dependency injection mainly handled behind the scenes, you can seamlessly switch between databases and connections.

VR: Grapho XR Demo released for Meta Quest

Michela Ledwidge announced the availability of Grapho XR from the Meta Quest store. Grapho XR is a spatial graph visualisation tool and a new way to manage and present graph data. Think of Minority Report meets 60 Minutes.

UNSTRUCTURED: Destination Connector: Neo4j

The Unstructured platform provides a destination connector designed explicitly for Neo4j, facilitating the seamless ingestion of processed data into your Neo4j deployment. Using this integration, you can convert raw, unstructured data into a structured format that Neo4j can store and analyse, enabling advanced querying and insights into the relationships and entities within your data.

KNOWLEDGE GRAPH: Building the “House of Wisdom”: Behind the Scenes of a Knowledge Integration App

Shan Rizvi introduces “House of Wisdom” — an AI-driven application designed for contextually rich conversations grounded in books, research reports, and laws, with answers accompanied by Mermaid diagrams to spark insights with cognitive ease.
