This Week in Neo4j – Revamped Neo4j Administration Course Training Course, Announcing Neo4j Labs, Link Prediction with Neo4j


It’s been another busy week.

This Neo4j community has had another busy week. We launched Neo4j Administration course, Amy Hodler and I shared our research into the world of link prediction, and David Allen showed us how to implement log shipping with Google’s Stackdriver.

This week also saw the launch of Neo4j Labs – a one-stop shop of solution offerings that provide fertile ground for innovation, while allowing us to iterate quickly and provide high-value tooling for your development work.

On Tuesday 26th March 2019 it’s time for GraphTour to visit London. I’ll be there with my colleagues from the London office, so do come and say “hi”. You can register for the event here.

He not only uses graphs-for-good, but also inspires others scientists and researchers in the life science & biotech communities to take a graph-based approach to understanding their connected data. He’s not only leading innovation with his research, but with his contributions to the community as a whole.

Thank you, Dr. Jarasch, for fighting for positive causes and sharing your knowledge with our community.

Link Prediction with Neo4j


In this week’s Neo4j Online Meetup, Amy Hodler and I presented Link Prediction with Neo4j.



We started by explaining the problem in more detail, describe the approaches that can be taken, and the challenges that have to be addressed.

In the 2nd half we went through a worked example showing how to apply these approaches using Graph Algorithms and the popular scikit-learn machine learning library.

This meetup built on top of a blog post that we published a couple of weeks ago. If you have any questions from the meetup you can ask us on the community forum.

Announcing Neo4j Labs: Incubating the Next Generation of Graph Developer Tooling


On Thursday Michael Hunger announced the launch of Neo4j Labs – a one-stop shop of solution offerings that provide fertile ground for innovation, while allowing us to iterate quickly and provide high-value tooling for your development work.

Projects that become part of Neo4j Labs will be actively worked on and supported by at least one Neo4j engineer. Successful projects will eventually graduate into the Neo4j Graph Platform.
