Happy Holidays! Thank you for being part of the graph community! In this year’s last newsletter, we have tools, tricks, and fun stuff, and I hope you find something to make your own! Experiment along with Michael and Alexander in ChatGPT Adventures, where they coax the OpenAI chatbot to generate html, csv, Cypher, and other output.
Don’t miss the very useful tool Neo4j JSON to C# for generating classes for all of your Nodes and Relationships. That can save a lot of development time writing the client code to interact with your graph database. You may also be interested in the highlighted NODES session video, CloudScreen: A Graph-Based Drug Repurposing Platform Empowered by Machine Learning. It looks at in silico drug repurposing through machine learning analysis of a biochemical knowledge graph.

If you’re a developer building modern applications with GraphQL, we would really value your opinion about a new GraphQL service offering from Neo4j. Please take the time to answer this short, two-minute survey. Your opinion matters!

See you next year,

Yolande Poirier

P.S.: Wow! There are so many excellent sessions from the NODES conference. As you wind down during the holidays, take some time to find the right one for you. They are all available for free!

In his NODES 2022 presentation, he shares the process of horizon scanning over a graph of medical research papers. Watch it now!

 

KWOWLEDGE GRAPH: Modeling Your IT System as a Social Network


In this post, Adrien Sales presents a chapter breakdown of his talk from NODES 2022. In “From Game of Thrones to Information System Cartography,” you’ll see how they built an information system cartography solution on Neo4j that answers complex questions about operations, single points of failure, and critical apps.

 

ENDOGAMY: The Knowledge Graph, Part 1


In this blog, genealogists David A Stumpf, MD, PhD and Michelle Bray Wilson use graph theory to discover inbreeding in family trees. For example, discover every ancestor in each path to every ancestor you share with cousins.

 

NODES SESSION: CloudScreen: A Graph-Based Drug Repurposing Platform Empowered by Machine Learning

Sotiris Ouzounis, Alexandros Kanterakis, and Vasilis Panagiotopoulos present in silico drug repurposing through machine learning analysis of a biochemical knowledge graph. Drug repurposing is the process that identifies the use of an existing drug to a novel protein target.


APP: Neo4j JSON to C# Classes

Creating an interface to browse graph data can require writing out each Node / Relationship as a class. In this blog, Charlotte presents a super useful tool that generates classes for nodes and relationships.

EXPLORING ChatGPT: Learning, Code, Data, NLP, and Fun

Michael Hunger expands on the livestream from December 6, ChatGPT Adventures – Discover AuraDB with Michael and Alexander. They probe and test the limits of ChatGPT, OpenAI’s latest language model, providing useful tips to get the model to generate various responses including Cypher queries from natural language.
TRAINING: Creating Graphville, Learn Neo4j & Cypher Through Stories

In this blog, Vlad Batushkov, Engineering Technical Lead at Agoda, summarizes the most important aspects of the development process of Graphville, a graph educational platform for engineers to learn Neo4j Database and Cypher query language.
